Slow time

Long time since I last wrote but little progress. My work and home life have interfered with the painting and assembly of our three armies. That said I'm still trying to paint and assemble when time permits. The Ork Warbuggy is nearly complete and I've got quite a few Nobz and Boyz from the Blackreach set done.

Another quandary is who to play. I live out in the boonies, a rural town with a population of only 4000. The nearest club mentioned on GW's website is 50 miles away. That said there must have been a few players in the area as it once supported 2 stores that stocked minis. I wonder if it is possible to start a new club?

More soon and pics too.

ORKS!!

My six year old son Tommy will have an Ork army as I have convinced him they are cool. In fact his warband will be called the Kewl Krazee Krew.

Slowly building this collection up. I've got the Orks included in the Blackreach set and added some Boyz, Gretchin and some other bits. I also got him a Deff Dread today so he stops nicking my Dreadnaughts to play with while I'm painting.

Speaking of painting the Orks are coming along great. Pretty easy to get a have decent looking paint job with these. I'll post some pics later.

When it comes to playing we are struggling to find a club. I'm sure there used to be one in Hawick but the nearest I can find is Edinburgh, over 40 miles away. Time to put out some feelers.
