I liked GW Orks best when they were more cartoonish and had their unique clans.
Things like Blood Axes playing ‘nice’ with Imperial Guard always made me smile.

When I rediscovered 40k and wanted to like the supposedly ‘streamlined’ 8th edition I was dissappointed when the Ork codex was as boring as the space marine codex. It didn’t feel Orky. It felt like a reskinned space marine army. Fearing the same thing would happen to the Eldar I kind of got bored. Never mind the rules bloat that followed the initial release.

Anyways … enough GW negativity.

There’s the Marauders in the Mantic Firefight/Deadzone setting, which technically are really smart Orks. One day I will paint mine and they will not be green, because that’s the standard colour and I’d rather have them be more distinct. Maybe a pale blue/grey ?

Vikings have arrived … all I need to do is verify I got all of the things. I really wished there was a packing manifest and a checklist on this one.

I was supposed to get a second package for my joyride kickstarter (wooden tokens), but apparently they’re soo ‘busy’ that they’ve had to change delivery time a second time … and I may be getting it next week (that’s practically 2 weeks after the original planned date for something that supposedly fit in the mailbox).

Local neighborhood is doing something halloween-related on thursday. I’m not sure if I should decorate my house or not.
Previous owners had kids, so if kids from the neighborhood are used to there being candy they may be disappointed. I’ve made sure to have something at home to give should they try and ring my bell even if I don’t put the sign up, because I doubt kids will check for that unless their parents are with them. It’s weird to have an American themed thing, but I don’t want to be a grinch either as kids should have fun (and free candy).
