October is a month heavy in challenges, there's Zomtober, Dreadtober, my own Apocalypse Me, and then there is Orktober, there are many people that do this event, but I tend to focus on the people I follow, first there is imperialrebelork and then we have convertordie who each year they do combat against each other, to see who can paint the most orc's or ork's ( or whatever GW currently call them), there is a point system, which they work to as well, for the last couple of years, I've taken part, but don't own enough orks to be in any serious contention, and the same this year ! LOL I have managed a single grot, which gives me the enormous total of 1 point, am I ashamed ? No, as I've scratchbuilt mine, and here he is.
This is Leonardo de Grot, in charge of painting all the vehicles, especially looted vehicles, armed with his Go Fasta Red paint, and his best detail brush, wearing his best painting smock (it's the one that still moves, as it's not covered in paint yet ! LOL), he's also wearing his renaissance hat, that he thinks looks cool, and makes him an artist ! LOL
That's all for today, but hopefully next week I've got some cool bits to show, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !
Cheers Dave
love him! he looks brilliant mate
ReplyDeleteThank you Andy, it all came from one of Luke's conversions, where I made the comment, is Leonardo de Grot going to be painting it ! LOL
DeleteThe guy who has to paint the vehicles has a lowly job and his face fits it perfectly. This is a funny one, Dave and I enjoyed seeing it :)
ReplyDeletethank you Jeff, it's got to be a never ending job, with some of the clans ! LOL
DeleteExcellent looking grot underling!

ReplyDeleteThank you SD, really needed some detail in places to make it come to life ! LOL
DeleteI'm in love with this model. Best Grot ever!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Suber, my favourite Grot has to be the Brothers Gwimm I did for Minaturemen for their cowboy Orc range.
DeleteFantastic work, such a cool little grot!
ReplyDeleteThank you snapfit, got an idea for a triple tower of Grot's all painting at the same time, so will have to see where that idea goes ! LOL Great to hear from you.
Deletevery creative. surely, he should be worth 2 points? 😁
ReplyDeleteThank you Stewart, not worried about the points really, it's the taking part for me.
DeleteClass! :-) Really nice idea! You've painted one more orky type figure than me!
ReplyDeleteThank you John, I should have really finished my sons Orks off for him, but time has been limited this month ! LOL
