The Ork Mega Dread – Secret Santa 2022
I got so carried away trying to customise a Deff Dread for a Secret Santa present that I turned it into a Mega Dread.
The Intermittant Activity of the Reluctant Hobbyist.
This post covers a rundown of 4 of the projects I did over the last couple of years: MEBSG’s Boromir, Two converted space marines, AoS Mangler Squigs and Warhammer Underworld’s Blackpowder’s Buckaneers.
Abaddon the Despoiler
My Orks are on a road trip and with the need to play games still I decided to resurrect some older projects. I’ve been able to manage my carpel tunnel so painting edge highlights and trim has been less painful for me. I decided Black Legion deserved the time and effort spent on them again.…

Space Orks Pirates, Deathskulls and future Orks
The Flashgitz were a wedding present from my fellow blogger Pandorasbitzbox (6 years ago). I’ve finally got them painted up. This is another long neglected project finished up in lockdown. They are a challenging kit to paint. They have tons of parts and if you want them Orky you have a lot of decisions to…
Stompy, Da Orkiest Nid – part 2 – The Paintening
The fantastic Looted Carnifex Pandorasbitzbox made me is finally painted. This was another long neglected project finished off over lockdown.

Neaow…dakka dakka dakka…BOOM!
I’ve finally finished my Burna Bommer. I must have started this about 7 years ago. When I built it I did a little diorama on the base and got as far as painting the NMM shades on the pilot. It then went in a box for the best part of a decade. After finishing the…

Honsou V2 and Honour Guard

Flash Gitz
Following on from Badrukk a few weeks ago, I’ve continued with the Orks. Orks are by far my favourite army. I enjoy the Iron Warriors and the odd primaris but these are very much a break from the ORks I’m in the process of building these guys a battlewagon and I’ve started a Dakka Jet…

Kaptin Badrukk – Freebooter
I’ve always loved Kaptin Badrukk and Flash Gitz but never got up the courage to paint them. This is what led to me stopping doing Orks in 2012 when I sold off a freebooter army. When I got back into Orks I had forgotten about my Freebooter ways and settled down as a Deathskull and…
Iron Warrior Terminators
I’ve wanted to continue to add to my fledgling Iron Warrior force and I decided Since I created myself a new Warsmith recently in terminator armour that a retinue squad would be best. Not much preamble on this one but lots of pictures! Enjoy. Ferrox’s work in progress I brought a box of blightlord terminators…
