Related to the previous post, It does feel like the prices of second-hand Warhammer has gone up quite a bit recently. Oldhammer stuff has always leaned expensive, but I’m sure it’s spiked upwards again, and it’s not just the old minis - plastics from just a few years ago are going for silly prices.


Ever since Miniscape did their Necron Raiders video, I’ve been thinking about putting together a small 2nd Edition Necron collection. Unfortunately, when I priced up what I’d want in that collection, it came to ~£400 for less than 20 models, so probably not happening in the short-term!


WIP Bad Moon Ork Boyz. Vallejo Xpress Color Ork Skin is basically magic if you’re trying to paint up units quickly.

Several WIP miniature figures of green-skinned orck equipped with various weapons and armor are arranged on a tabletop surface. They are painted with yellow armour and rich blue accents

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.
