Like the post. New theme is a bit stark?

Are there any self pity balloons left over?

I’m liking what I’m seeing. Good work.

Thank you! I was quite pleased too – lots of fun playing around with it all

I used the weathering powders from Forgeworld, specifically ‘Dark Sand’ for the mud/dust. Orange Rust was used for the rust, but next time I’ll be a bit more sparing with it!

OMG. Love the paintwork on the claw. The mud effect is really good too, which weathering powders did you use?

Thanks Colin, that’s some nice encouragement right there.

You can have an Ork too! Orks for everyone!

Look around, this is a period in life when geek is cool. Everyone loves a geek. Have you watched The OC or The Big Bang Theory?

You work in IT for God sake, half the people in your office spend evenings playing Call of Duty with each other instead of talking to their wife. That’s sad!.

I’ve spent all day setting up a new laptop and transferring files. I’ve genuinely enjoyed it. Not a lie. Not ashamed.

I loved going to Games Workshop as a kid, what spoiled it for me was my inability to paint the models. I was useless and I’m really jealous of your talent. Why be ashamed.

Celebrate all your talents and interests. They’re well worth it.

That’s a very interesting question Cavey, and touches a nerve. I’ve often joked that I’d be less embarrassed being caught leaving a sex-shop with a dildo and a gimp mask in a paper bag than be caught leaving a Games Workshop store! In fact, both Colin and Kate will tell you of the times I bottle it and chicken out of getting the paints I need.

That being said, I am trying to come to terms with my inner geek. In some ways it’s been harder than coming to terms with other parts of myself,

Pride and a head held high from now on it is!

Ooh! Ooh! Can I have an ork?!

I just have one question: do you wear a disguise when you walk into Games workshop shops? … You know, to avoid people thinking that you are a mouth breathing sexual predator who lives with his mum? Or do you hold your head up high and stroll in confidently (with a swish of cashmere and freshly presssed linen) before making loud remarks about your WIFE and laying down a crisp 20 to purchase the latest version of Sccchpaaaaaaschhe HUULK!
