Collins Does Orktober

An old colleague sold me the assault on black reach Orks for the price of a pint because he simply didn’t want them. perfect! they went in the loft for ages and then I decided that yes, I would participate with Orktober, I don’t have any other projects on the go really. I then went to town searching for the other Ork models I loved from my childhood, mostly the super old gorkamorka trukks, wartrakks, buggies and warbikers. naturally bargains were had on eBay, especially using the vouchers I had from selling other toys.

Onto some cool artwork!

and then it all went to shit…

well its not that bad. I have been in a state of fluxx for a while, lockdown doesn’t affect my families professions except making them busier but sometimes we get posted or rather awarded jobs in different parts of the country which we vaguely had some control over (…ish, not really).

so my wife’s job moved and so I had to also move (I do like my wife, rare I know…), house went on the market, jobs changed and the move happened right in October…. so that’s why nobody ever saw anything posted then. we still aren’t in our new house due to lockdown 2.0 and are living in an odd way, but hey, such is life… just roll with the punches and remember to have a job now is better than to be furloughed or redundant.

To make myself feel better I backed the ADF imperial guardswomen on kickstarter to give the Orks something to face off against and also because I really liked the idea of them not all being Lara Croft tiny waist big boobed babes of death. I won’t be able to get these printed off or painted just like the orks because my printer is packed ready for the house move.
