Well, it's been an age since my last update. This is mainly because I have been focused on painting, and every time I get five minutes spare I have to decide whether to paint my minis or write about them, and painting wins.
One particular reason for the heavy drive to paint - I played in a tournament last month, and had to get a 1750 point list 'table ready'. I know some players think that means three colours, but I just can't bring myself to stop painting to the best of my ability. So I spent a few months painting in every spare minute I had. That included getting a Games Workshop fast attack bag so that I could take paints, brushes and minis to work and paint on my lunch break.
In the end, it paid off. I painted 77 Orks in the span of three months, and while some need some minor work done (still have teeth, final highlights and checks and dags to do on most of them) they look pretty good. I painted three battle wagons and two trukks, two 12 boy choppa/slugga mobz with Nobz, a 20 boy shoota mob with nob and two big shootas, six nob bikers, my warboss on bike, a big mek with kustom force field, ten lootas and ten burnas.
I'll post again soon with some pictures.
Oh, and as for the tournament, I had an absolute blast. I had three wins, two losses that were almost draws, and one loss in which I was positively thrashed. I'll write more later.
