Big Gobb could feel the power of the WAAARGH pulsating
through the air. His big mob was ready.
His father had been a great war boss. Now Big Gobb was
one too.
He loved the feeling. Loved it more than anything.
Well, almost anything.
What he loved even more was how flash it all looked.
Yellow, red, green with blue and white checks. These really were the flashest
gitz in the galaxy and Big Gobb felt huge pride that they were his flash gitz.
He opened his huge mouth and called the mob to attention.
Nobz, Weirdboyz, boyz and tanks formed into a mass of yellow, red and green.
The mob hung on his every word.
Big Gobb pointed the way forward and yelled a battle cry at
extraordinary volume. The mob joined in, chanting at the tops of their voices
and advancing at terrifying speed.
Big Gobb took the opportunity to move steadily towards
the rear, well away from the danger as bolter shells and missiles began to fly
by.
His father had been a great war boss. But he had also
died in battle, and Big Gobb had no intention of doing that.
Phew! I’ve dragged myself over the finish line.
The Wonderful Ramshackle
Games produce a mini perfect for Big Gobb. I actually painted one last
year, the only miniature I managed to finish before entering the Field of
Bones! It felt like retribution to buy another one, and for him to be the finishing
touch for my complete army.
It’s fair to say that May and June have not been good months
for my hobbytime. A lethal combo of work and real life have drained any
painting opportunities. Fortunately, I had foreseen this before the challenge
started and painted enough from January-April to get me through.
I would have loved to have done more, and to have added some
flourishes, but life has had other ideas!
However, I’m still proud as punch of this army.
In my first OWAC (OWAC VI), my goal was to finish. No fuss,
no fine detail painting. Just finish. And I managed it. I then crashed out
after Month I of OWAC VII.
This time, I wanted to stretch myself a bit more, finishing
whilst using a few more techniques. With such a wonderful selection of models
available for space orks, this has been a great opportunity to go wild! Finally
gaining confidence with colour blending has been a real joy, and I’ve loved
adding texture to all of those bold yellows and greens. It’s been great fun!
Anyway, I’ll save the Oscar speech for my wrap up post!
