Da Boys iz back in Town!

o/

My Tankbustas, so generously painted by Admiral Drax after I won a contest on his blog for his 500th post back in May, arrived back on my doorstep this past Friday. I think they look fantastic! The bases aren't flocked per my request so I can base them to match my army. Drax lamented the speed at which he painted them, but in that time span I've only painted 2 Orks myself, so he was moving way faster than I am on the green skin painting front!

Anyways...

...ere dey are!
Note: the spiral on the rokkit, I never would have even tried to do that something like that myself!

A brown, leather-like helmet...in all of the Orks I've ever painted, curiously that idea has never occurred to me.
Gray Knights SUCK! Just saying...



Again, another rokkit painted waaaaay better than I would have managed.

Neverness and I already have a old Ork codex (as I sold my copy of the new, heinous tome) vs. a new Ork codex game in the vague planning stages for an as yet unknown future date.

Also, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! This will be my final post for the rest of the year.

  4. Tee-hee! Thanks mate!

    Did you note the Cadian 24th helmet on that last fellow there? I hope you don't mind a cross-Atlantic souvenir?!

    Oh, and NO gaming ever happens *after* a wedding...

  5. @Drax: You're welcome sir! And yes I did, though I was wondering if that was a result of a Cadian/Ork tussle in the paint queue, or just some typical Ork looting?

    Luckily for me, my Wolfy is a gamer as well, so gaming will continue. In fact I need to get cracking (at some point) on painting up her Fem Fa'Tau with their new unit decals that I had made for 'em by Fallout Hobbies. Its ironic in that I haven't bought a GW model in about a year, and yet the painting queue for them is still miles long...

    1. Fem Fa'tau - love it! You're obviously a lucky man...
