Ork power plant terrain piece complete!

Wow what a month!  I actually finished everything I had planned. The Firewarriors, 7 bikes for a commission and the power plant.  I'm quite impressed with myself - I didn't even lose sleep over this stuff either lol.

Anyway, pics!











Now that I have all this done it's time to relax and do some stuff I want to do..mainly paint the hangar and build some Trukks.  I might get another commission doing a StormTalon for the same guy I've done the bikes for.

Quick update - Blood Axe Firewarriors

Time to put another "I don't care when it's done" project on the done pile. 6 more firewarriors for a full group of 12 mainly to be used as allies for my orks.

I need more tau though to flush out a full matching allied detachment..but for now these will do.  Money is always my limiting factor though.

Anyway, pics!







I've made a lot of progress on my commission bikes too, so for the next few days I'm hitting the power plant.

Ork power plant terrain part 2

Progress on the power plant. I finished the cooling and pumping station, with pipes, bolts and the cooling towers with greenstuff made to look like welds. Very happy with it.

The plaster is damaged along the bottom, and I was going to fix it but decided to leave it..it looks like it's rusted away which is perfect.

Also finished the walls and paths. 

Very happy with it so far, but I will have to take a break from it to work on a comission.

Pics, for now!

Ork power plant terrain pice very early work in progress..

For IDIC Beer's March contest I'm building an Ork power generation plant based on the Pegasus Hobbies Power Plant kit.

I have a lot to say.. but I'll save that for a video. Just a couple of quick pics of the early stages..

More Stormboyz complete!

Finished up my current project of 5 more of my Blood Axe storm boys.

That now means I have 15 out of 20 of the unit completely finished. For a project I considered very much back-burner, with a unit that I have no plans on playing with the current book, it's strange that it's almost done.

Anyway, pics!



And a group pic.  I have to say these guys look just amazing, and are so easy to do on top of it!



I also noticed I hit 100 followers on the blog! that's fucking amazing, thank you all for the interest in my hobby!

Where the hell are the posts?!?! - and more Star Trek Attack Wing!

I just realized it's been over 2 weeks since my last post!

What have I been doing? Well, spending money mostly. It's called Taxmas!  I have a new camera set up, which will be really nice once I get normal work hours again. I have not played a game of 40k since the end of November!!! I'm getting pretty ichy too, I miss it..

I have, however, been playing a LOT of Star Trek Attack Wing.  I've played in many OP events, and won several prize ships.   I have 1 or 2 more this week, depending on how things go.  I have not actually won any events, but usually end up in 2nd or 3rd. I really want to win the OP4 this week at Time Vault so I can get a good shot at DS9.

I even ran one OP2 event, and took a few pics along the way:





I have also been doing some hobby, priming up the Trukk and Buggy, painting Stormboyz (which are just about done..pics soon!) and staring in on another 7 Imperial Fist bikes for commission.

I also said goodbye to all my Gorkamorka trukks on ebay.  Not like it was a sad parting, netting me nearly $100 which was more then enough to pickup 3 more new trukks!

So anyway that's what's up.  First thing will be the bikes, then probably working on another terrain piece for IDICBeer's March contest. Then finally getting around to painting the buggy and trukk...in Blood Axe colors of course! I might even come up with a new, 3rd camo color combo for the vehicles...


..oh, and the hangar needs paint..

First Ork Trukk build

I built the first of my "new" model Trukks (new, as in they are a mere 6 years old).  Of course, I could not just build it stock!  I didn't do a whole lot with this first one, doing some modification to the bed and adding some armor to the cab. Oh, and putting the boarding planks on the back as an assault ramp.

I have a lot of ideas on what to do with the rest, but all the trukks I build will be custom and unique.







I need to wait a few days for the weather to calm down to get any priming done, and I have a lot of it to do: the trukk, the buggy, some stormboys and the hangar!

Until next time!
