Black Orcs who will be white.

I want them to stand out in my army so a brighter armour scheme seems best to me. I’m using the gundabad kits for my black orc regiment. I think they look fab.

And now for some heresy.

I spray up my miniatures in blocks of twenty or so while the et are all on their movement tray.

Yep. No no that’s right, as if they are ranked up and ready to play with, I spray them like that.

The only time I don’t spray them like that is if they are metal miniatures, the spray primers these days are charged to ‘stick’, or attract with ions or some such wizardry, to plastics and resins. So a cloud of spray works just fine when the plastic/resins are in formation. My spray cans go further too as very little paint is disappearing into the ether.

Doesn’t work like that with metals. Traditional short burst, taking action on a couple minis, spread out and lined up is best.

Oh, and a cheap £2 steel ruler makes good use of the magnetic bases. I just magnetise to the ruler and away I go! Sideways or upside down it makes no difference to me.

Don’t pikes look lovely!Don’t pikes look lovely!

So I’ve got one unit of goblin guard to make up, the last 10 spider riders, and a troll chieften. Then paint paint paint.
