This is Dumbaz, Da Ork in da Iron Mask. I actually hate this model. When I picked it up second hand, it was primed yellow to eventually be painted as an Evil Sun nob. The paint was nice and even so I thought that I could paint over it without stripping it. Oof. That bright yellow turned out to be such a pain to cover up and as a result,  I have gummed up some detail. Plus, it was everywhere! I normally prime models in black or silver but this vibrant yellow was in every nook and cranny. Hard to reach spots shown like a bright, evil sun and painting this lad took twice as long as usual. So, I hate it.

  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!
