I, Raphus C, Oath 5 Shoota Boyz and 3 Ork Warbikers (all GW, 28)





I realised today that I am running out of things to paint. It has taken me 6+ months to paint things without a stick. I should finish up my Orks this year.

Raphus C, thiswayliesmadness: Your pics look fine, but please snap another one in Samoa time. :) It's okay if you've already started painting.




I don't see the point given that 03 May in the UK can be anything other than May in Samoa. It is a stupid loving rule.

You won't be saying that when the blight of daylight savings time rolls around.

The rule is great to simplify deadlines. But it serves no purpose there. The date was fine either in UK or Samoan time as it was taken on the 3rd May. Unless Samoa is 72+ hours behind or about 28 days ahead the photo was taken in May. The exact time it was taken is meaningless.

Stupid loving derail and I will stop whining.

I have five 3e starterbox marines soaking in alcohol as we speak to get the layers of inept teenage paint off them so I can paint them in an appropriately retro style and it is entirely because of SRM.

I have more than a handful of those awful mono-pose Ork plastic Boyz (not the presentable metal Boyz with character). I cannot see me painting them up, but still, part of me lusts after the challenge in knocking them into decent shape.

I don't see too many old school Orks about though. The Boyz were fun even if the vehicles looked like poo poo.

There's actually a great guide on painting Orks over at Tale of Painters, and they used one of those awful awesome 2nd ed Boyz to do it:
http://taleofpainters.blogspot.com/2014/05/tutorial-how-to-paint-orks-or-orcs.html

The Boy looks good. I have a compulsion to ensure that each model I have is somewhat converted so I don't have too many repeats. Warbikes and Deffkoptas are giving me headache.

I would need to break out the greenstuff if I was going to work on the 2e Boyz. No matter how good the paint job, 20 identically posed and equipped Boyz looks off to me. Swapping the axe for a blade here and there ain't enough. I may try and do them in an old west theme, I can see them rocking six-shootas.

The Troll Trader is a good shop; I have got supplies, models and such from them without any hassle.

Wayland used to be my go to place for large orders but I haven't used them in over a year. Didn't have a problem with them either.

The winner here is Raphus C! However, past Oath thread rules have a person only eligible for one monthly prize in a given month, to spread the love out a little bit. So please let me know which of the two of these prizes you'd prefer!


Cool. Could I grab the Troll Trader prize.

If you're UK based I would recommend the Troll Trader. I have bought from the ebay store a number of times and have never had a problem.

Backstory

Hedrisch Von Karlich stared in horror at the approaching tide of vermin filth. He had never drawn such power to cast a spell and he knew it would be his last. His men seemed to gather strength from watching him incant; yet fur or fire they were all dead their fate was death. Sweat poured down his face as he gathered more power. And more. He felt his control slipping as he reached deeper and deeper. With a scream to Ashur he let the power engulf him and the world shook.

Surely blessed, Hedrisch slowly took to his feet. Alive! Before him the ratmen horde had been halted. There was little trace of the closest ranks and those behind were shaken and stumbling. However, all thoughts of blessings soon turned to ash. Where he had stood now towered Ork brutes. Half again tall as he they were the most unusual specimins of greenskins he had seen. Their eyes turned on the vermintide he watched their faces pull taught with excitement.

Uttering a prayer Hedrisch approached the tallest brute. Their presence here had purpose. With the merest sparkof an idea Hedrisch deposited his wizard’s battle hat between him and the greenskins. With their attention seized he puffed out his shoulders and raised his wand incanting. Moments later he threw a weak fireball at the closest batch of ratment, killing one or two. Laughter came from the Orks their chests heaving as they watched the ratmen stumble about aflame.

The closest brute braced himself, pointing the unusual device he carried towards the reformed ratmen ranks. Hedrisch watched as the device began to shake. It drew on no magic that he could feel but he watched the air shimmer with its heat. Quickly he stumbled back, drawing more laughter from the greenskins. With a scream the Ork’s device bucked and Hedrisch watched a large group of ratmen vanish in a ball of flame, globs of fur spitting out across the field of battle. A second ball soon struck and a third. Another Ork stepped forward and soon all of the Orks had joined, turning their strange weapons on the ratmens' ranks. Shots rang out like a cannon blasts and the Ratmen line disintergrated.

Leaving his hat behind him Hedrisch ran.
