I decided to start with the Orks because of a Weekend Campaign that was being planned by one of our local GW staffers:
The Battle for Rynns World.
Of course, I couldn't miss the opportunity to field lots of the green Menace, and wanted to field some of the units that had been stagnating in my boxes. Unfortunately (for me, not for him as he has good things to occupy himself in the meantime), the event has a rain-check until March 'ish .
This shall not deter me though; "Nay, nay & thrice nay, I say!" I shall stick to Da Plan!
For the Update (not exciting pictures):
The Stormboyz were dug out, rebuit or repaired, pinned where necessary and stuck together. Although many have said that the Zagstruk model fits together securely on its own; a force of habit ... I pinned it anyway.
The rest needed the old style rokkit packs pinning to the spare figures I had assigned as new recruits (mainly old Tankbustas).
As another habit, anything that needs supergluing (including plastic to metal) such as the arms, and rokkit packs, I go through the fiddly process of scoring the surfaces with a blade (crosshatching #). This gives a stronger bond by increasing the available surface area.
So, stage 1 - assembly complete :), 19 Stormboyz and Zagstrukk assembled, with 1 botch-job of a scratchbuilt rokkit pack to boot.A basic Chaos Black spray for most of them, with topping the rest off with a brush.
The next job is Stage 3 - painting ..... Oh my favourite bit (was that convincing enough?)
I would have got started on it today, but was distracted by "Shiny stuff", some more Adeptus Sororitas (Sisters of Battle A.K.A. "Nuns with guns") arrived, so I had to de-flash, drill out gun barrels and assemble them. They are next on the backlog list because I want to field a new combination of units for a small local Tournament (at the GCN - The Immortals) in February (1750 points).
Painting will have to wait for tomorrow then; "Oh dear. What a shame, never mind"
