From ArthurS: The Last Post. (30 points)

 Hoi 

Arthur says:

"This will be my last real post for the Challenge this year! I have set myself a points limit of 75 points and with this entry I will reach that goal. I have enjoyed joining you all for this year's Challenge and hope to join next year too.

For my last post I have painted up a Whirlwind tank for my Powerwings Space marines. Pssst, don't let anyone hear it, but since my hobby budget is rather limited, Dad printed me the main tank hull on his  3D printer and we put a real GW rocket launcher set on top. 





Apart from the Whirlwind I also would like to show you my first painted Blood Bowl figures. My team is the new Black Orcs team and here's one of my Black Orcs and a Goblin Shaman that can be used to summon down the Foot of Gork (or is it Mork?)  on the playing field. 




 



I am mighty proud of the Shaman since I think I really made the mushrooms work very well. They were painted in the rainbow colours to provide extra magical energy. 


Finally Dad also printed a scatter template and I painted it in my team colours as well. Now the vehicle (28mm) and the two figures (28mm) will net me another 30 points.

Thanks everyone for looking in  at my post!

Arthur


Those are all great, Arthur. It's been a pleasure having you taking part in your own right this year and a shame that this is your last entry. You've done very well, and we look forward to having you back with us next year.

  3. Your posts have always been delightful Arthur. I like how you and your dad stretched your hobby budget with the Whirlwind tank. Clever! I also think you did a terrific job with the mushrooms!

  4. Clever shaman has surrounded him with mushrooms of all the colours of the magic, very clever! It has been nice to follow your Space Marine force growing and good to see you expanding to the Blood Bowl, one of the best games there are. Congratulations for meeting your target and waiting for the next Challenge!

    1. Arthur says:"thanks Teemu, I do love playing Blood Bowl, but in true Orky fashion I tend to loose track of the ball and scoring is secondary to beating the opposition to a pulp and yes dad helped me word this reply ;-)"
