Lovely Ork group.  :-* One minor complaint: drill holes into the muzzles, please.  :D

Fantastic!  :-* These are bringing soo many memories back. My brother used to have these and I'd be facing off against them with my Space Marines every week!

Thanks chaps.

As to the muzzels, yes you're right, there are a couple that I should have done, but in general I find most of the orky bolter muzzels too fiddly. On the Hvy Plasma guns, I like to think that they differ from other weapons and that the plasma builds up around the smaller side holes.

Started varnishing this morning. Seems like my botched repair is holding.

I had a little go at knocking up a table for 'Jadebury Hill' using my existing scenery, what do you think?

Now I just need to rustle up a couple of players.

Looks pretty good, from what I recall after reading that issue of WD about a year ago ;)

An imperial road sign that shows the way thru the tunnel towards Rynn City would be awesome!

Jadebury Hill looks bang on to me.  I do love those old armoured orks, lovely miniatures.

Beautiful painting too of course.  Its nice to see that Bad Moon boss in a different colour scheme.  I am tired of seeing it in various yellows, but that scheme makes me look at the figure all over again.  Tasty.

Really nice!  :-* Love the various skin tones across the different models and the dark colour scheme of the armour on those last few works really well. Love the rusting too.

These are superbly well done, especially the skin on both the Orks and the humans.

So cool! :-* You certainly threw a new perspective on this! The Jadeberry Hill scenario is pretty fun, looking forward to seeing your approach! :)
