Epic Orks: Snakebite Squiggoths Support Card

Just a small post today but I've finished my first SMV2 Ork Support Card, Snakebite Squiggoths!

Epic Orks: Evil Sun Clan Part 3 Almost done!

Part 3 of the WIP of the Evil Sun SMV2 Ork Clan Card, I'm almost done with only 4 more Boyz stands to complete.

A large bag of plastic Orks arrived at my door yesterday from Nico over on the Blog Realms of Chaos (BTW his stuff is mind blowing so go check it out).

Anyway I got to work on a few more stands:

Challenge: Big Guy Week Day 6

Squats count as Big Guys right?? Well these do (Well 2 out of the 3 are anyway heh)

Look! Look! Chico painted a Iron Claw Squat.... The only good Iron Claw Squat is a dead one right? Heh. Na all joking aside he was actually fairy fun to paint.. for a dead guy anyway.

Challenge: Big Guy Week Day... Um. 2? 3? 5?

Errr sooo Big Guy Week.. yeah after finishing my Exo Suits and prepping my Mole Mortar I haven't got much further on them.

I can give a 101 reasons why but the truth was  I just wasn't feeling up to painting much more then 10/20 mins a sessionthis week so Epic was more fitting way to spend my time.

I did convert up and clean the following though:

Epic Orks: Evil Sun Clan Part 2

So more painting and more swearing at the little gits I've made it past the half way mark of my Evil Sun Clan card for Epic Space Marine 2nd Ed.

9 Boyz stands, 5 Battle Wagons & 1 Nob Wagon finished, that's just 6 Boyz stands & 4 Nobz stands to finish to complete the card.. yay! All joking aside the Wagon's are great fun to paint but the Boyz not so much, hoping that will change as I get different Orks rather then the same SMV1 box set Orks repeating themselves.

Epic Orks: Evil Sun Clan Part 1

Busy boy painting once again, this time it's my first Epic bits painted. Rather happy with how this Clan (Evil Suns) is turning out.. Not so happy with how long it's taking to remove the boyz from there old bases and re-base them on 2p's

Challenge: Big Guy Week Day 1

So Its Big Guy Week!... Even though I'm currently obsessed with getting my hands of Epic Orks I've managed to finished a few things for Big Guy Week and prep the next item. Plus I've finished some bits which aren't in the challenge.

So I've gone and started a new project! Who's shocked? Nope didn't think so heh

Anyway even though it's Big Guy Week I've gone and started Epic.. Space Marine 2nd Ed in fact. And the Race I've chosen is Race I'm very familiar with (and you might of guess by the banner) ORKS!

And the next Challenge Week is....

So here in the UK with have a 4 day weekend so what a great time to declare the next Chico Challenge Week.. and that's right dew to popular demand.... It's Big Guy Week!.
