Well seeing as photobucket zapped everything a while back I guess this is a good point to start a new.
I haven't been doing Empire in a while, its been all things goblinoid for the past few years but no doubt I'll swing back around to the Empire.
Mainly this will be a duplication of what I'm posting on my blog
http://oldorcsneverdie.blogspot.com/ but there are some things that just don't fit there that might end up here.
Since October (Orctober) Ive been inspired by an ongoing challenge to paint 1000pts of Oldhammer miniatures in 6 months. In keeping with the initiative I've been aiming to paint 200pts of miniatures (3rd edition) a month. So far so good with the exception of December.
But lets step back and let me re-post my October painting:

So it looks like this Orctober has been a banner month for me. I think I've painted more this one month then I have in that past two years.
So here's a quick review of what Ive finished this month.
First up an Orc hero. One of my favorite Orc heroes I might add. He's got everything you'd want from an 80's Orc- leering grin, gangly limbs and an awesome helmet.
Next up is an Orc champion. Originally intended to be the leader of my Orc crossbow unit but usurped by another.
A mighty unit of 28 Orc Crossbows. Hopefully I'll have more pictures and an actual story to go with them coming up next month or so.
I ended up using Mr. pointy finger as their leader. I figured crossbows are a bit complicated for Orcs and they'd need a disciplinarian with a whip to keep them on task. But honestly this is one of my least favorite Orc models, he's a bit static and the modern looking books and big shoulder pads look a bit too 40k, he may end up being replaced at some point.
One of the odd ball models in the unit. I believe he's from Citadel Ad&D line.
A quick pre-slotta Orc. Didn't turn out too great, the skin tone makes him look frog-ish. One of the crossbow orcs was pulled from the pre-slotta The Ol' Rusty Axe Gang so I need to paint up a replacement.
Last off I finished a couple Orc villagers that have been pushed around my desk half painted for a couple years.
So that's it for Orctober. I'll post my stuff for November shortly.
Bye for now.
