Slowburn month 2 : mid month week update
Ok its month 2 for the slow burn and unlike last month’s fortuitous
alignment of the sun and moon where the long weekend fell inline with Mrs Big
Mek own personal schedule, leaving me with ample time to build and paint
uninterrupted. Such was not the case this month of June, where between I was
stuck on which way forward to build an army list and the warboss at work, meant
many nights just ebbed away.
After much deliberation, for this month, I’ll be pledging
445 points
Ork Warboss
Ork Painboy
11 Ork shoota boyz
13 Stormboyz, with Stormboy nob
2 custom warbuggies

I finally managed to find the highly recommended RJ International
matt black spray for priming, and I did a comparison between the new Nippon
Spray that I used the month before. I’ll share my findings in a
later post.
This month’s boyz have the beginnings of steampunk theme on
their bases.
I managed to squeeze in 2 games over the last 2 nights,
thanks J.Yang’s Harlies and T.Dor’s Wolves! Unfortunately, the machinegod(s?)
in my iphone seem to have fled, leaving the camera lifeless during these 2
games.
I managed to learn abit on the importance of target priority
and a general refreshing of 40K rules.
No miracles with grot shooting today. Though it would have
been hilarious. Instead the Harlies made sure early on that the grots were cleanly
removed from the table.
In both games, I have found a new fear of exploding
mysterious objectives. Badrux bears a few new scars from them.

Base colours done! |
Now with 3 days left, can I finish my pledge in time?
