Da Red Devvulz

-Knock knock.
-Who's there?
-WAAAAAAAARGH

In a last autumnal gasp, I've cleared my current in-tray. Which gives me four glorious days of freedom to paint what I like before Kas shows up on Friday with the next batch. Expect miracles!

Wot da zog kind of shoota is dis? Notta spike onnit.

But in the mean time, here are some mirorkles. Along with the scout squad from the last post, these are in fact the squaddies from Kas's Shadow War Armageddon set. So along with all that nice industrial furniture I painted, he's also got some warbands to fight over it.

Shootaz

Orks were the first ever 40K army I collected, back when you got 36 for a pound and spare change for a sherbert fountain. It's been a while since I painted any of the space variety. I think the last was a Gorkamorka boss, about fifteen years ago. I have clearly learned little in the interim.

Big Shoota

Orange and red as spot colours, over a medley of dark browns and blacks, then lots of rust on the metal. Desert style bases and job's a good 'un.
