Four Years Old Today

 It Doesn't seem That long...

So, over 400 posts and 800 comments later. I have still managed to keep the blog going and I am still enjoying it. Like many people I used the Christmas break to have a bit of a tidy up and look at what has been sitting on the paint bench for a bit of a while. 

So, first up was the lizardman hero who was probably one of the the oldest minis still on the paint bench  at over 13 months old. So, it was his turn to get a slap of paint, at least to an army standard. 

I also managed to finish off the classic Legolas from the 80's Citadel Lord of the Rings mini range. The horse got finished over six months ago but I couldn't quite bring myself to finish him until today. The Legolas on foot mini was painted mid 2021, so these two minis highlight the progress that I think I have made in painting over that time. Or at least a change in style. 

It's a bit early but I reckon I have earned it. And on to the next four years.

Starting the Year with an Ork Dreadnought

Happy New Year 

In case you had forgotten 😟.

Big Tinz - The Mega Onslaughter Dreadnought Done

Painted the dreadnought in the same speed painting method as the orks i.e. contrast paints and dry brushing. I couldn't quite remember how I painted the bases so it was a bit of a guess, but my best estimate was Blood Angels red Contrast paint then dry brushed with Bugman's Glow and finished with some light blue and gold minerals. Proving it is a good idea to write this stuff down. 

The orks storm the mining settlement with Big Tinz taking the lead. 

Some poor unfortunate get pinched. 

I enjoy creating different basing schemes for my armies and the idea for the space orks was a mining world. Something suitably different from the usual green and earth bases. 

I think Big Tinz might need a little brother and Dread Mobz has a nice ring to it. And of course I need to get these Rogue Trader space marines painted so he can have something to shot at.
