This will be a very quick showcase post on the blog. With the dreaded Covid-19 Virus lurking out there in the streets like some sort of abomination spawned from Papa Nurgle himself, it has been a great time to get the paints out and work on some miniatures.
As is always the case when it comes to dusting off the brushes, I am always drawn to something simpler to paint. Often the classic Goff Orks from the 2nd edition box get the honour. Anyone who has been following this blog will know I have already painted quite a few of them and today four more join the ranks.
These four are the kind of plastic goff ork that got raided for parts back in my youth. Arms, weapons and even helmet spikes got removed for some other project or idea. The rest of them then got dropped in the bitz box where they remained until recently.
On fishing the four main bodies out it was clear not one of them was complete. Three had issues with there left arm, whilst the last one was entirely 'armless (Ere' dat not funny!).
A quick root around and some new arms and weapons were found and attached. Even if one was part of a damaged lasgun and the mace end of a heroquest orc.
I painted them up with the standard technique I have been using which can be found in the Links and Showcases bar on the right of this blog.
Hope you enjoy this little painting trip, stay tuned for more regular blog posts now we are all inside.
Until next time, stay safe.
