Painting a new version of your first ever mini is a great idea for a project!
I haven't painted an Orc for decades so I went so far as to browse ebay to see if my first mini (FTO11* Orc Chief with Sword and Flail) could be had - he could! Then I though how crappy the mini looked compared with the new 'Orruks' so I've gone and ordered one of those instead.
Curse you for distracting me from Project Nurgle! :curse:

Yes, it's a double distraction! First you distract me with your 'Painting a new version of your first ever project' then I distract myself from that by looking at the shiny new Orruks! :silly!:

New Orruks are very shiny, new warboss is going to be in my basket in Saturday.

Well you have good painting nights and you have bad, last night was BAD :crying: Waiting for some stuff for my Gobbo so Andy & I were going to paint the same mini but Oh my god the casting was truly awful, not since finecast have I seen such awfulness, it was like Satan himself had come to earth sculpted and cast the mini and gone back to hell laughing. :devil: So in a fit of temper and five blasted hours of trying it went across the room.
Anyway, tonight has been a much, much better painting experience and has fulfilled me with my painting mojo once again.
Dave talking about Orcs ive just been adding a few finishing touches to my duel, namely adding a little lizard, more lovely saliva spitting out of the mouth and improving the contrast and vegetation of the rocks.
Im very happy with the whole scene now

I know why they fight
I think that just means they joined the same fraternity.
I have no idea whether that joke translates into British.

The 'then and now' miniature idea is a lovely one....real shame I offloaded huge amounts of my 80's/90's GW miniatures about 5 years ago when they were unearthed from my parent attic.
Unfortunately at the time I ad no interest in getting back into the hobby....
There are a few left I believe...might dig them out and see whats worth looking at.

That's fair. I hope that the replacement comes through and that it'll be of better quality.
