The other day I stumbled across an Instagram painting challenge for Orctober. Old Man Paints <\/a>is running his Old Orcs Challenge. The rules are on his site (which is a cool site to visit anyway), but put simply they are: paint an old orc miniature from the Oldhammer era (mid 80’s-early 90’s) and post it on Instagram by the end of the month. (There are hashtag requirements and stuff like that, but that’s about the gist of it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, if there’s one thing I have a lot of, it’s Oldhammer Orcs.<\/a> Sadly, all of mine are painted already, and one of the rules is a “before” picture is necessary. It seems I was out of luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, it just so happens I have had a 40K Ork army as a planned project for about 10 years. This makes no sense, as I don’t play 40K anymore; but who among you can say you don’t have similar nonsensical ambitions in your pile of shame? I have a ton of Orks, most still on the sprue, just waiting for assembly and painting. (I’m in no hurry.<\/a>) The vast majority of these are from this millennium. In other words, most of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I found this guy, along with a handful of other Rogue Trader-era Boyz. I’m back in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no expectation of actually winning this challenge, considering the level of talent I see on Instagram; but I figure I can pretty easily paint one ork in my sleep by the end of the month, so why not participate? Next time you see this guy, he’ll have paint (and arms) on him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
