Now stop muckin about and get on wiv it!
The WAAAAAAGGHHH of Grinkwakka da' Oo was started around Christmas 2007, when I went in to my LGS with some X-mas money intending to buy BFSP, and instead ended up with, for $150, with the O&G big Army Box that came out with the codex, AND BFSP. Once I totaled it all up, I had about 2000 points, and I soon added Fanatics. Recently I also added a box of plastic Black Orcs, bringing me up to 20, and rounding out my force. However, I've not gotten around to painting all of them like I wanted to, so here I am.
This army has a theme of sorts, but not in modeling; the theme is famous Rock bands. The unit of Boyz have been dubbed Guns N' Axes, the night gobbo units Da 'Arttakaz (complete with Grom Petty) and D.E.M., and the clan of Black Orcs that the Warboss hails from is Da 'Oo, complete with Teef Moon as musician. I'm still working on some of the names for the units of fast cav, but since they don't have standards, they may not be worthy of names, and are instead "a buncha gitz". We'll see.
The warboss has the symbol of Da 'Oo on his boar's helmet (this is a WIP pic, the actual warboss is finished now and looks much more badass), and
Da Boyz' standard is already painted up (albeit poorly). For the record, I'm basing everything at the end (probably May). So that's why you won't see any bases for a while.
In addition to showing progress on models, I'll also give approximate time spent, and what movies I watched while painting. It's a habit of mine to have a movie going in the background while I paint, otherwise I get too easily distracted.
One last thing: I apologize in advance for any mediocre/poor pictures. My camera is fairly old and tends to be a bit grainy, but I'm getting better with it, so they should all be decent, just don't expect works of art.
NOTE: The current times are tenative. After the first two months, I'll probably change the plans around, or if I finish up, will move on to the next set.
