Here we go

May 15, 2009

I’m going to try to update my blog about something. Even though it is about two weeks until I’m getting my gecko, I still can’t wait. But my life is still going, so here we go. Some friends and I have started a warhammer club at my school. I finished converting a chaos dreadnought for my next door neighbour, and have plans to scratch build a nightwing interceptor.

I’ve mostly stopped playing wc3 and related games, and instead have started playing Oblivion and and left 4 dead more. And i’m currently typing  with my monitor turned off. In an IT lesson. While watching a programme on computer safety. Egad, it’s so patronising… Oh, i’ve also given up on overlord.

…unless you read my last post and are waiting for an account of my orky konvershunz. (I will be updating with pictures at some point, but a)they were taken on a really bad camera and b)I haven’t finished painting yet.

I opened the blisters and layed out the pieces on my table. I had planned what I wanted the final models to look like already to some extent, but it’s always fairly hard to get the result you wanted. Oh, and because I haven’t yet told you what I’ve been converting, I bought a 40k Ork Warboss wiv `uge choppa and a warhammer fantasy black orc big boss. My plan was to swap the heads over, give the fantasy ork a power klaw, swap the weapon arms round on the 40k ork, give him a double edged axe and a lot more dakka. The only two things I managed to do were the power klaw and more gun dakka, and due to difficulties with the arm movement the fantasy orc ended up with a bionik arm, having mauled the arm that was meant to go there. I also gained three blisters in the process.

But despite this, I also managed to give the 40k ork bioniks ( I reckoned they were needed to support the gun after all the dakka I had attatched) And I also attatched a gitfinda.

I stuck the fantasy orc onto a round base, because square ones just look plain silly, but did no more about the bases at that point.  I sprayed them and left them to dry, and began to paint. So far I have fully painted the skin on the 40k ork, based the skin on the fantasy orc and based the metal on the 40k ork. More coming soon, with pictures and more painting details.

In other news, still very little is happening in my life.

Finally, a post

April 27, 2009

The reason I haven’t posted for so long is that I have had nothing to post about. But over the weekend I did some major orky convershunz, so I’m posting about that now. But as there isn’t really that much time available to me right now before my lessons start, you’ll have to wait until later to get the full details.

In other news, nothing much is happening in my life at the moment.

School (again)

April 21, 2009

Well, this is my second day back at school, and I’ve already started counting down to next half-term. In other news, I finished painting all my dire avengers, prince Yriel and two more howling banshees. Also, I’ve completed some more (very fun) dark brotherhood quests in oblivion. Heh.

I’m Back

April 18, 2009

Yes, I’m back after five days of House Party. It’s an annual thing with my church, where we go to spend five days eating, sleeping, playing crazy games, singing worship, looking at the Bible and praying.

In other news, I’ve started Oblivion. I got stuck on Overlord and wanted to try something else, and have now shot through the ranks in the Imperial city arena.

Also, I’m going to try to start painting my Warhammer more. I want to do some orky converzhuns, but first I want all my Eldar (or most) painted first.
