Was too busy to do any modelling last week since we went to Boracay for a family vacation (my brother and his family was here and my wife was still here to we were complete). Too bad the rains came with us there so the waters were rough and cold. Still we were complete so its not that bad.
I also spent the next few days preparing for my wife's departure to work back in the US for the next 8 months again. I've got the spare time now to paint I guess. It sure is going to be lonely for a while here.
I did try to assemble a wooden woodcraft kit of a biplane during the weekend. Let's just say it didnt work out as I planned it to be.
Here's to me starting to varnish my mutants for me to end the month.
Just my attempt at keeping progress on stuff that I paint and assemble WH40K, WHFB, Hordes and just about everything else gaming wise :)

MODELLING: Doing some Orc Bosses
Wasn't in a painting mood so I decided to start assembling my new Orc Warboss on Boar with the stuff that I had won two years ago for the Jonnel Cup. The assembled Boar has a noticeable gap between the two halves, will need to fill the gap if only I can find my two part epoxy to do the job.
Also tried to assemble the Black Orc BSB on Boar but my choice of parts means I need to do some filing away some more. Now where's my Blue Tac?

GENERAL: More loot from stuff and a bit of painting done
After I had posted that my main warhammer 40k army for this year would be Orks I surprised myself by going for yet another of my friend's bargain army deals.
It was ugly to behold with bad conversions (okay a guy holding a las cannon sponsoon is part of a Lascannon team) to a very bad paint scheme (pink with green and bad bad painting) that made me nauseous and wanting to hurl.
It was a bargain as it was cheap with lots of models. I was able to get a platoon of cadians, two squads of catachans and two Basilisks for dirt cheap. Thats 60 models and 2 vehicles all for the price of 2 squad boxes. Not bad not bad at all.
Still I am now stuck paying for something I actually did not need and making me go in debt because of some models just when money is becoming tight. I may just sell them in the end but I wont know for sure till it fancies me
Of course the first thing I am going to do with this is to throw them all in brake fluid and start removing the uh "converted weapons" that the guy made to make them "count as".
=========
Managed to actually start painting again with the wife having the urge to want to paint. She started painting my converted Ogryns while I started doing touch ups to the remaining Lost and the Damned foot troops that I haven't finished painting. As I expected the paints have started drying up to a significant degree. Hopefully I would be able to at least get to use some of the stuff before it all goes to waist.
Managed to also pin and assemble the Belakor model that I got for trade for some plastic Terminators. This would serve as the Daemon Prince (which I have named Malphas) for my work in progress Chaos Space Marines army. Of course I should be working on the mutants and do retouching and varnishing. Gotta renew my focus.
One more note.. Found the inventory of Space Ork units while cleaning the room. This does not include the other models that have not yet been assembled. Will post this list soon.
