Just a couple more photos of new boys with their warpaint.

I needed a break from painting orks, so I finally got around to painting an assault terminator, slightly converted from the new kit. The new Horus Heresy box set that features a Saturnine armor in the Salamanders colors, and the upcoming Armageddon campaign book, has me excited about my own Salamanders again. I have been absolutely loving painting orks lately but repainting all of my old orks (plus new models) is quite a Sisyphean struggle. The hit of serotonin from sharing photos and playing with them has been fantastic though and I've really enjoyed converting, painting and playing the green skins. But I also pre-ordered the new Space Wolves box set... I may be an addict. 

This is one of the most helpful guides for using Greenstuff I've ever seen. I reference this graphic all of the time!  

  Lootin' Song Bashed in da gate wif me iron boot, Smashed up da walls, nicked all da loot! Gold and shinies, swords and meat, Grab it all fast, no time fer neat! Boss says "Smash!" and smash we do, Clobber da guards, stomp a few too. Pocket da jewels, snatch up da brew, If it ain't nailed down, it’s good as new! Sing it loud, boys, grunt and hoot— Nothin’ beats da smell o' loot!

Painting, or repainting in my case, can feel like a real grind, especially when you have a pile of grey plastic mounting up.  Batches of three models seem to work best for my work flow/patience. More models than that, I feel it's too repetitive, less than that, I dont feel like I'm getting enough done for my time investment. Having said that, I'm still having a blast painting these orks!
