I haven't posted much, due to being busy with other blogs and drinking heavily and as such, haven't had much chance to write anything since getting back from holiday (save for talking about how good squigs are).
Anyway, painting progress is slow. My second box of savage orcs are like a rather large lump of wyrdstone around my neck. I can see them out of the corner of my eye; laying in a heap on the cutting mat, half-painted green, with all the weapon hands finally glued on, but not effort to actually paint said weapons. Only one is marginally complete (the musician). I will work on getting these finished, as I was proud of the first lot (who need war-painting up!)
I've also been working on my cockatrice, which now sports a rather fetching pink mohawk and blue fur. It looks hideous. Also completed is another mushroom (this time on a base that's the right size). Tried taking some pictures of it and they look rubbish, so no pictures, sorry. Other projects include painting another screamer-killer Carnifex (sorry, 40K talk).
HOWEVER...I have got pics of a new addition to my Mordheim warband. Yes, a tangent - apologies, but I'm rather proud of this dude. Few games back, one of my Orc Big 'Uns (Morko) got a weapons expert skill (and because he can have shooting skillz, he now has a blunderbuss that "e found in da handz of sum humie wiv no legz." Yes...quite. Anyway, Morko now totes a blunderbuss. Now, converting one was out of my slightly inferior hands. However, using a technique know as 'copying'; I managed to cobble together something I saw on another blog, but in my own primitive style. It isn't the best conversion work, but it does the job and it's typically 'orc and goblins' in that respect.

| yes, that's a spare spider from the Arachnarok kit, in the hand of a 40K ork, that had been cut and re-glued ages ago. |

| Shoddy, yes - but that's Orc craftsmanship for you. The little guy is Gorko, his mate! |
