It was the Shokk Attack Gun that prompted me to suggest this model as a birthday present. When it arrived I was not disappointed. It was very easy to put together and yes it was an ideal candidate for the Mediocre Hobbies (https://www.youtube.com/@MediocreHobbies) rust treatment. Do you think I am going over the top with all this rust?? Well, is it possible to go over the top with rust if you are playing Orks? I don’t think so. With the arrival and completion of the Big Mek it marked the end to the pre Armageddon filler inners. All done and Armageddon was not even here yet. WOW!
As I said it was the Shokk Attack gun that drew me to this model. Just the sight of it carried me back to such fun Epic Space Marine encounters back in the early 90’s. Ahh those were the days, sigh. I will have to see if I can find some of that old Epic stuff. I spent a lot of time, planning, dreaming of and painting, and playing with that system. I was not a fan of the late 90’s Epic, Epic 40k as they called it, but each to their own. I tried to get into the new stuff. Indeed, I have a box of the “New” Adeptus Titanicus and several Legions Imperialis so I sincerely hope that the “The Duke” will march again!
Anyway, back to today and 40k. This character is full of narrative inspiration as I think many Orks are. I hope he lives up to expectations and I witness him performing many miraculous failures and the odd, splendid slaughter!
So we come to the end of this little series. I am blessed with a such a loving family who pander to my Warhammer habit so generously. Thank you guys very much. Through them I have been able to bring you this tale of paint and joy. Fortunately there is still much more to come…
