Enter the pitch!
A little late in the starting but here goes a cleaning challenge. I’m painting my beloved ork Blood Bowl team, Da Deep Drek Chukkaz.
In the long long ago I painted up a team in metal that GW had offered. Over time the sculpts got revised and I was pleased to see the new vision of what the orks could be. Knowing what was being done with the online version of the game it was a nice change. The bad part is that the team became part of my backlog. Here we are again in Orktober and I think that these greenskins need love and attention aside from other things I have going on. I’ve only got the month so I need to be fast.
How long is halftime?
So uhh.. yeah. Another addendum to the project as I meant to finish it years ago. I’ve come back to working on this as recently my FLGS has started talking about a BB league. This all comes from the 3rd season being launched. I’ve also been kicking out some teams for the store to use in starter and demo games. Hooray for procrastination.
Getting greenskins done
So a decision on orky aesthetics is on the docket. I was between dags and checkers on the shoulder pads. Both are classic to the look. I’m divided as each has been shown to work. Since I need to divide this from the Black Orks painted for my FLGS the checks win. Final touches are in progress.
Done and done... finally
To much less fanfare than I would have liked I am now done with these figures. The project really should have been lumped in with my hobby blog but here we are. I have seen that much bigger projects deserve their own entries into the system.
Now time for me to work on my New Year’s resolution of finishing two armies.
