Ok I have some good news; the Orks are finished.
I had a massive push and painted the whole of my Ork army. That meant I completed all 15 Lootas , the last four Defcopters and the one random Ork Warbike.
I have to say it feels pretty good to be finishing of one of the my forces from my list.
I wanted to finish my Clean Slate Challenge in a year, and I was under no illusions that it would be an easy task, or one that I could realistically complete, it was more a target to aim for.
So as we approached a year in to the challenge I decided I was going to focus on getting the last of the Orks done and dusted.
The Ork force was by far the largest component of my unpainted models, so it would be a real moral victory to get these guys finished.
I haven’t sat down and worked out exactly how many points this army comes too but it is a sizeable force and one I can be proud of. I had a Bad Moons army when I was about 15, and I had always hoped to come back and paint myself another Ban Moons army, when I was a bit better at painting.
Now I know they are not the best painted models out there, I could have spent a lot longer painting these models, but it would have taken me another four years to complete them all. That said for Orks they will certainly do the job.
I will now try to concentrate on getting the Grey Knights completed, as there is only eighteen of them, and they are dead simple to paint.
