Still' Waaaghin', Still Choppin'

Oi gitz!

It has been a few months since my last post. As some of you may know, I am a teacher and the beginning of the school year is typically one of my biggest speed bumps in my 40k endeavors. Each new school year comes with all new problems, and time consuming events. It usually takes me a few weeks for my body to adjust to the school year schedule. I mean, hey, waking up at 11am and painting/playing Orks every day is a pretty sweet gig and it's hard to adjust from that. Needless to say, I am starting to fall into my routines and have been slowly getting back on the hobby bandwagon. 

Over the summer my FLGS participated in an intensive 10 week 40k campaign that really brought the community together more than ever. Our 40k community is mostly a refuge community from when our local GW shut down a few years ago. The summer campaign really helped us re-bond in a lot of ways. In addition, we saw more armies being panted than we had seen in a long time. Though the campaign probably should have been about 7-8 weeks, it was super awesome and totally worth it.

Needless to say, after an entire summer of Orks and a new Dark Angels codex released (which I still haven't really had a chance to enjoy!) I am going to take a slight break from my Orks, at least until the end of the year. With that being said, I would like to get BACK on the Krumpin' Time board and still produce some cool content that will of course be, that's right, Ork related. During my Ork-Hobby Hiatus, I will mostly be working on my Dark Angels and my Dark Elves for Age of Sigmar (which is surprisingly a really awesome game when you stop being a stiff ass about the change). 

Well, that's about all I have for now. Some cool new things to come! And remember...

Keep Un-calm and WAAAAAGH!!!

WHFB Battle Report - 2500 - Orcs & Goblins vs Bretonnia

Met up at the FLGS this past Saturday and had a nice little 2500pt bout with a Bretonnia guy who I have been trying to play all summer. 

WIP: Stone Troll

Hey folks! I thought I would show off my Reaper Stone troll that I use in my Orcs & Goblins army. Hope you enjoy!

WIP: Goblin Wolf Riders

Here are some shots of my Goblin Wolf Rider/Space Wolves Fenrisian Wolves kitbash unit. I really wanted to make the unit much more animated than the traditional early 90's wolves and it also allowed me to bring some animosity to the unit. Enjoy!

WHFB Battle Report - 2500 - Orcs & Goblins vs Beastmen

Last night I met up at my local GW to play one of the other regulars, Sean, and his Beastmen army. Sean's Beastmen have come a LONG way. I swear not 2 months ago his army was mostly grey and primed black and now i'd say its 90% painted, based and magnetized. It's shaping up to be a really nice force for sure.

In all honesty, I feel a little bad for my Orcs & Goblins. I haven't really touched them in about 6-7 months. This is probably why they betrayed me so horribly. What can I say?! My 40k Orks need love too!

Army Lists - 1500 - Proposed NG Squig List

So I have decided to start beefing up my Orcs and Goblins army now that my 40k Orks are near complete (time for forgeworld, baby! yeah!). With that being the case, I would really like to jump into the world of squigs! Now, I am well aware that this list is going to be very VERY pricey. Which is exactly why i'm not going to buy it all at once. I have decided to buy a new squig unit every other purchase within my Orcs & Goblins. I budget myself around $100 a month for my hobby (supplies included). I figure if I buy a box of one thing (wolf riders, giants, etc.) and then a box of Squigs with the new Finecast release, then this list can start shaping up within a year.
