I remember a comedian (or someone) saying all knock knock jokes are about the devil -
why don't you open the door?
Because you know some evil waits outside!
Do they tell you who they are?
No! It's some tricksy word game designed to mock you.
Don't open the door! It's a short devil with a hammer!

Turn 30 half-finished Ogors into something looking like an army!
Finish a squad of converted 2nd ed Orks
Paint up a little force of old metal Eldar aspect warriors to go with 5 new plastic wraithguard.

Great stuff, mean looking and atmospheric and lovely contrast between the skin and armour

That's great, did you convert the guitarist?

Very cool! This is an excellent choice of colours, more readable than a lot of the versions I've seen while also being great renditions of magic metal and magical fire.

These are fantastic!

Very nice!
As you say, GW painting the fur and flesh in contrasting colours was jarring, whereas all black here looks great.
Great work on replacing the foot, I have a plastic Talisman Dragon that needs similar work since I lost the base they were sculpted on...

Thanks, that's good advice! There's a way to go yet
I tend to get painting paralysis.
All my paint jobs are in stasis at a midpoint while I try to work out a magic solution so they can look as good as the picture in my head.
I guess the solution is paint more 😄

Ah, the kruleboyz shields! They look great.
I know what you mean, planning a converted army is fun to begin with but complications crop up as you go!
I still have no idea what to do with my leadbelchers, they look unfinished compared with the others, something's missing!

Thanks! Took way longer than I thought, kept feeling I'd finished and then would rotate the mini and see his right flank was weirdly flat, or his bum cheeks had ZERO definition and needed a back cloth
