What a rainy lazy day last Saturday. Got the chance to at least slowly assemble a few ork figs while I used some Fantasy Orks to assemble the 4 lootas. Took a while of sanding and cleaning to get the stuff to fit.
Took me 2 hours just to fit the 4 Lootas ... man talk about slow. Then the burna Mek
It took me just an hour to assemble the 10 regular ork boys with shootas though. I lined them up and it looks like the fantasy boys are a bit bigger than the new ork boys. have to check with the rest of the boys..
I just also realized that kopters can have the assault gets hot ap2 Kannons.. hmm cheaper than rokkits.. Might as well give that a try next time :)
Just my attempt at keeping progress on stuff that I paint and assemble WH40K, WHFB, Hordes and just about everything else gaming wise :)

BUNKER GAMING yet Again
Got the chance to get two games in at the bunker during the August 21 - meet. Free catering by Ninong Lito himself. Was able to get a ride with Owen and Jeff from Cubao to there.
First game was against Owen with his sisters and inducted Guard.
-- First turn was bad as he was able to knock out my Looted vehicle immediately and an ork mob got eradicated on the 2nd turn. Fortunately the Mega Nobz and Warboss was able to get stuck in and butcher the rest of the people there.
Second game was against Sunny and his Tyranids
-- Shooting and assault kept me wiping out Gaunts but because of Without Number they just keep coming back. Managed to kill off the Zoanthropes and Tyranid Warriors to break up synapse but the unit of the game was the Burna Boyz..
Need to get more games in again :)

MODELLING: Cleaning yet more Orks
Well after my game with Obi and a week passing I finally just went ahead and cleaned off the mold lines from a slew of models from the AOBR box set as well as for the Lootas and 10man Ork boy squad.
I am of course covered in plastic residue and I once again stabbed myself with the Xacto knife.
Still it was all worth it -- for at least its a start

Hordes Gaming in McDonalds
A change of pace for a bit. I finally got SJ to have lunch. It was probably
because I told him he should show me a quick game of Privateer Press's
Hordes :P
Well not caring about the stares coming from the other tables we
set off for quick game with my Starter box of Everblight versus his
Starter box of Trolls.
I have to say he was right with his Analysis.. Everblight packs a mean punch but
has a glass jaw.. and Trolls are more like Dwarves .. tough as nails :P
I managed to kill his Impaler by Carni and a lot of Shredders only to have the Carni
dead by Thrashers.. taking down a shredder or two as well.
Lesson learned was that I forgot to save a fury point as Mandrake Ironhide through
a very large Axe at Lylth taking her out of the game.
On to the next game then :)

GENERAL : State of the Spawning Address - New hopes for 2009
The start of the new year is always a time of reflection for ones past achievements (or lack thereof) and were one gets a chance to recharge the batteries and to start anew. Looking at back I would like to see what I was able to do based on what I had planned myself here
Looking at it I failed to have done the majority of them (which was mostly modelling and painting resolutions)
Frequency of posts.
- The year 2008 I had a total of 30 posts. A far cry from the expected weekly posting but higher than 2007 with only 14. This reflects more of a lack of actual modeling time more than anything, particularly painting. I do resolve to give bi-weekly updates to the site. I eventually would like to have each army of mine have there own blog starting with the Orks.
WHFB + BFG + HORDES
- absolutely no gaming time was done for any of the armies.
- dwarves were actually sold off so there goes any second army for fantasy this 2009.
I shall implement the same point scheme as what Lone pilgrim had done over at his site:
I also need to get more games in to motivate myself to model and paint more.
Number of games in
I had only 6 games in for the whole year with 2 of them being at the GT all of them wh40k. Not a good year of gaming. However with the weekday gaming starting to go full swing at the bunker I should be able to ramp up my gaming considerably and the more games I play the more incentive I have of painting my existing models.
However with the prospect of me working abroad by the second half of the year my chances look slim for gaming then. So I need to get some good gaming while I can.
What are my resolutions for this year 2009? Here they are:
- NO NEW MODELS for the YEAR unless it comes from proceeds selling of old models.
-- I have too much stuff that I have accumulated over the years. I wont buy stuff unless I am able to get rid of
some of my other inventory of figures and use the proceeds from that. The Model Fund will be for MODELS only and not for anything else.
- Focus on one painting project at a time
-- I will stop my ningas cogon habit of painting (starting great but never finishing) I will concentrate on finishing one thing before going to the other. As my blog does indicate
I will finish painting the Inquisitor Retinue before going to the next thing which is painting the various ork units that I have. I shall paint one non-ork unit everytime I finish one so that I dont die of monotony. Still I want to be able to field a fully painted 1500 point Ork Army by 2009 then I can start to revive and finish my Crimson Fists (those that have been in storage for so long)
-- I will not kick myself in the ass for poor painting skills. As Kenton said in his blog, painting is a chore and I will paint my to "Good Enough Standards"
- Paint 50 points worth of models this 2009
- Focus on one assembly project at a time
-- I had a habit of starting something and then stopping it and trying to assemble the next thing.
- get to game at the Bunker at least once a month.
Thats all for now. Now let me assemble this Ork Trukk I have :D
