Oh, yeah – questions! It’s Thursday. There’ll probably be more along before too long. So here we go….

Are you planing to get into TerrainFest2023? If yes, what’s your plan?

Not really. If you’d asked a few weeks ago, I might have said “yeah, go on then”. But I just started painting little men again, and don’t need another distraction or excuse to leave them, half-finished on a shelf somewhere (or, as is my current enthusiasm for “getting stuff done” chucking them in the bin because they’re not finished!)

Or are you more inclined to trying your hand on OrkTober?

I just might. Printer goes brrrrrrr. Orks come out. Slapchop and Army Painter Speed Paints – it was the Miniature Hobbyist (https://www.youtube.com/@MiniatureHobbyist) and his slapchopped orcs that got me excited about painting minis again. I’ve got a load of Mr Modulork STLs on a hard drive somewhere…. I might just take some inspiration from my Youtube “hero”.

Do you even care for such “timed events”?

Yes. Mostly they come and go, but in the main, they sometimes inspire me to have a go at something that I would otherwise keep adding to my mental “to-do-one-day” list. If it wasn’t Orktober, I probably wouldn’t even be considering painting some orks. Now, I’m thinking I quite fancy the idea of having half a dozen or so space orks to use in a Kill Team/Space Hulk type game.
