Ork Dip -- Click me!
So I am going to be entering in a 40k tournament in August. I’ll be entering as an Ork player and have been tuning and playing various lists in preparation.. I have a lot left to do though.. I also have a lot of painting to do because one of the requirements is that you have a fully painted army. It doesn’t have to be professionally painted but it does have to look generally good, and have more than 3 colors on the model.
That’s fine, except I have a LOT of models to paint and I generally take far too long to paint them. I can spend 2 hours painting a single dude, and considering I have over 100 dudes (not counting vehicles) yet to paint.. I have a daunting task ahead of me..
I told my friends that there would be no way in hell I could paint all 100+ models in the time left.. It’s just not possible.. That’s when my buddy got after me to use the “dip” method of painting.. It’s fast and easy, and you don’t have to “color in the lines”..
So tonight I gave it a try..

Jason3D Graphics 3D, 40k, Model
Latest Render
While my Tau Hammerhead is coming along nicely, I needed a bit of a break from it. I decided to model something from either the Imperial Guard or Space Marines codex. I don’t have either army, but I do have a Leman Russ that I was planning on turning into an Ork battlewagon.. So it seemed like the natural choice for modeling..
The model is still in pieces which as actually a boon because I can hold and model each part individually and then assemble them.. or at least I hope its that easy..
As with the hammerhead I plan to show a render of the model for every 4 hours (or so) of work.
Note: This post will be updated a lot as I work on this model.

I play Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy table top games. I also used to play the Warhammer fantasy role playing game when I was in highschool.. Right now I’m doing my damnedest to assemble and paint models for my new Warhammer 40k Orks Army.
I love those little green bastards but I have a billion of them to paint.. (Okay, a billion might be a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much.) Over the years I have had Necron, Tau and Orks as my 40K armies, and Orcs & Goblins, Skaven and Tomb Kings as my Fantasy armies. I played the role playing game for years and really preferred it to D&D or any of the other traditional role playing systems..
I tell you this so that you will come away with the understanding that I have a pretty good idea about the Warhammer universe and to convey to you how absolutely excited I was about Warhammer Online, Age of Reckoning. I had long thought this universe was ripe for computer games.

I was asked the other day why I don’t update my website more often.. A fine question, and I can only offer one answer.. I just don’t want to..
Er let me amend that.. I do want to.. I mean I enjoy doing this stuff, but I do it all day long! I’m one of those lucky guys who managed to turn a hobby into a career, but in so doing; I lost my hobby.
I program and work on computers, all.. day.. long.. I don’t much care to come home and do it some more. Its the main reason some of my online projects are suffering. It’s not that I don’t wish to make something of them, I just can’t get in the mood to do it. More
