This morning I was surprised by an unexpected package.
An old friend out housemate had discovered a smattering of my ancient mid 90s minis in their storage and sent them to me!
I had forgotten these orks till I saw them again, and the nostalgia is hitting me like hammer blows.
#WarhammerCommunity
2 metal or minis I painted in the mid 90s, Goblin green bases and all.

Waaaaaagh! Some runtie gitz and a proper Orky lad for Orktober!

Painted using modern paints but in a 90s bright hammer style.

So this is a marine juice like wash all over and then yellow highlights on the armour. Trying to decide if I like the shade of yellow. It will have chips later.

All models done for the Devilry Expansion … Added some cuffs and a little bit shorter jacket for the monster, fitting more into the late 17th century theme.

Tried out the Craftworld minis patreon and used a couple of their tutorials to paint this guy. Pretty happy with this experiment. And just in time for Halloween.

An ICE rat trespassed on my lot earlier so I’ve been frazzled and don’t really feel like painting anything substantial. Still tidied up this mkiii test scheme model for day 11 but I’ll be taking real pics tomorrow when the lighting is better.

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com
A comic strip in six panels. The panels inerlock like a jigsaw with knobs and sockets. Two stick figures walk right to left through all the panels. Panel 1: Person 1 says "I hear you're working on a new theory." Panel 2 & 3: Person 2 says: "Yes, I'm calling it the jigsaw model. I think it could change our whole View of reality." Panel 4: Person 1 says "When Will you publish?: Panel 5: Person 2 says "But a couple of things are still bothering me." (this piece/panel is a bit squint) Panel 6: This piece is rotated ninety degees and fits to the others very badly. Person 2 is saying "Soon. I feel like I'm really close" A second look at the whole comic shows that the last two panels read in the wrong order because the jigsaw has been put together incorrectly.
