Another four Oldhammer 40k Space Orks today – some that I didn’t manage to get finished last month for Orktober. But still – done a little late is still done! The three on the left are from the 44202/3 range, while the rightmost Boy is the “interesting” trooper sculpt from the Space Ork Raiders box. The leftmost boy with the bionic(?) eye also seems to have a Kev Adams Goblin face, so I’m not sure what’s been going on there with Da Doks…

Aside from that, these Boyz keep the desert/Blood Axe-y theme running. I tried to emulate a MARPAT-ish arid digital camo on two of their helmets this time. The Space Ork Raider Boy is also wearing a couple more scavenged armour pieces from our Sons of Dorn…

This leaves me two more to go from this batch of old-school Ork Boyz, and then an additional five for the “Paint 25 Orks by the end of the year” pact I have going with Wudugast….

WHFB Dwarf Bolt Thrower, Colin Dixon, 1998

Following up from the crew, who I managed to complete a month or so ago, I’ve finally gotten the actual War Machine that they crew painted! Well, there is a little caveat there – I still can’t find the bolt nor the crank that are part of the kit. Since it was an eBay jobn a few years ago, I’m not 100% sure if I even have the crank, but I do know that I have the bolt. Once I find them, individually or together, I’ll paint them up and glue them down, I suppose…

Here’s the Bolt Thrower itself. Nothing too amazing without it’s crew. Just a reasonably neat piece, mostly wood and metal. Still, combined with the crew it looks good, and that’s kinda the point! Bolt Throwers being War Machines, and War machines being mechanical, this also fits into November’s painting challenge. So with this thing finished, I’m finally out of the gate!
