The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Back in the saddle

So I wanted to just throw a few quick things up here.

First and foremost is a big thank-you to the ominously named 'Mr X' over at The-Waaagh.com's forums. This fine fellow caught wind of the fact that I am basically swimming in Assault on Black Reach Orks to paint, and offered to lend a hand from halfway across the country by painting a batch of orks for me in return for unpainted ones to replace them. I might have been a little skeptical at first, as the offer seemed far too good to be true, but lo and behold, Mr X came through with an incredible squad of Orks!

They're busy striking a pose with my Big Boss. The orks are fantastic, and there's even a Nob hidden among them there with an all-too-helpful Power Klaw. Thanks, X!

On an unrelated note, some of you may have noticed that I sort've threw my 'make infantry' plan to the wind. After enough people talked to me about it, I figured starting more projects was probably the wrong approach, because that invariably leads to me just piling more onto my half-finished backlog. Instead, I've started trying to tie up some loose ends. First and foremost is the Stormboyz project, as a lot of you have expressed interest in seeing at least the first ten done and finished. I've also gone ahead and primed my 'Ard boyz using an old Games Workshop Boltgun Metal spray that I dug out of my basement, so I expect them to be the next project that gets painted and finished after the Stormz. I have no idea what comes after that, though if I had to guess it'd probably be my loota mobs so I can get them reassembled and on the table.

I recently got some Ork Pirate Heads and Big Post-Apocalyptic Guns from Maxmini.eu. I've got to say, the quality of the heads is fantastic. There's no mold lines or flaws that need any sort of attention. The Big Guns that I got are a bit wonky - some flash in some weird places, and a bit of cleanup will be required on them. All told, though, I'm pretty thrilled with the quality of product they're putting out, as it makes my life about a thousand times easier. Once I've caught up some on my backlog, I'd really like to take the guns and heads and some nob bodies and make myself some proper pirate-themed Flash Gitz.

I've finally finished organizing my terrible disaster in my basement. I'll take some photos a bit later once I have everything cleaned up and presentable!
