I go into why this October was not the month for me to launch a huge project.

Why I Cancelled My Orctober

A blog about a man of middle years and his ongoing hobby - tabletop gaming. Includes posts on roleplaying games, miniature wargames, and board games.

Well #orctober might be over in one sense, but keep it in your tusks (or heart I guess) and it can be year round.

Now for a more outright pervy #orctober Halloween via a YCH by @almostabull.bsky.social

I think this brings the barrage of postings to a close.

I didn't get to start #orctober until there was just over a week to go - but I did manage to slap some paint on a few metal models that I have lying around (from various manufacturers).

(I just about got one done per night on the day's that I managed to work on them - which is pretty good going for me :) )

Now for something more seasonal again for #orctober, this time a YCH I picked up from @pandabeto.bsky.social once upon an All Hallow’s Eve.
A less thematic #orctober addition today, but still quite nice. Just got this fantastic take on Targ from @nastybearz.bsky.social
The final day of #orctober is here and I plan to drop more than one piece I’ve been fortunate enough to get today. But starting off with this adorable one I’ve been using as my phone’s wallpaper most of this month by @aximeck.bsky.social - Also I think I’m going to custom order this kigurumi…
Happy Halloween! And last day of Orktober. I’m certainly not done with my Third Edition 40k Space Ork army but definitely wanted to get a certain project done. And that’s these old Warbuggies. I got them used a long time ago and never even bothered to paint them up because the scale of the crew was off and it bugged me. They’re tiny, even by Rogue Trader standards. So I decided to kitbash ‘em up and make something I’d love to field.

Removed the old driver and the crew. Replaced the driver with the Ork Trukk driver and the crew that was once firing the weapon with just a boy along for the ride. The weapon I’ve remove the hand grips and statically mounted and pinned in a more secure location. And one was missing the radiator from the back so I bashed one up using leftover Dakkajet bits.

Each Warbuggy got their own unique heads and crew position along with paint job! Can’t wait to field these and throw down some templates from their Skorchas before they get blown to bits for having 10 armor.
