It had been suggested to me that I too grab myself ones of these threads, so here we go. =D
Thanks to danjones for the name suggestion - love it! ^_^
Back in October I decided the time was right to get back into the Warhammer hobby, and the new Orks grabbed my attention. I got a bit carried away, and ended up spending around £130 on models in just a couple of weeks. The codex, two lots of the AOBR Orks, and 140 more Ork Boyz all came my way through eBay, and so I had lots to keep me busy. ))
I quickly got to it, and the following is a shot of the first models I'd painted in perhaps around 18 months. Not too shabby, if you ask me. >.O
But then, Sixth Form got hard. >.<'' I found my self struggling in three of my four subjects and the hobby took a back seat. I was doing extra work most nights just trying to keep up. I didn't get anything done and as easily as I thought I had got back into Warhammer, I slipped back out of it. The next thing I knew it was Christmas, and I was pre-occupied to get the models out again.
Now, however, I've found an efficient way of mixing the hobby and school work, and so I'm becoming more involved. In truth it's probably because it's the Easter break, but even when it finishes, I'm determined to keep the hobby going. ^__^
In the past week I've completed another twenty Ork Boyz, and should have some pics up in this thread sharpish. ;] Right now I have around 1500 points' worth of greenskins, but I'm determined to get enough bog-standard Boyz finished before I looking into getting any 'toys'.
Apologies that this first post didn't really show off a lot, but I thought it would be good to give an introduction as to where I'm coming from.
Please feel more than welcome to give any comments and suggestions as I get pictures up and the army progresses, I'd be very happy to hear from you. I'm aware that my painting is far from great but I didn't want that to stop me from having a go. ^^;;
Thank you for reading,
