Instead of focusing on the Orks I’d planned for today, I went on a side quest to paint up some scenery…

Several blue-grey and sandstone 3D-printed pieces resembling gothic architectural ruins are placed on a green cutting mat in front of a computer keyboard.

It feels weird to have ostensibly ordered Armageddon for the Space Marines, having been a Marine collector for 30+ years, but to have the clearest vision about painting the Ork half of the box. I only really painted my first Orks at the start of this year!


In-between everything else today, I managed to spend a couple of hours preparing 10 Ork Boyz for paint (the most recent push-fit kit - I find it really enjoyable to work with). I’m going to try spend tomorrow painting them up, to give me a kick-start into the Armageddon box.


I’m 3D printing some terrain footprints for 40K’s 11th edition. I hadn’t appreciated how big some of them were! Ork Boy for scale.
