I try to post something every day. I have a lot of stuff to show everybody. Here’s today’s! This Orc Warboss that I converted/kitbashed after listening to the Misfits a lot about 10 years ago or so. I named him Grimghost the Black and his lore is that he’s the leader of a warband from Sylvania called Da Grave Eatas! The ghouls eat the corpses and the boys eat the ghouls! One day I’ll make a regiment for him.

I batch painted ten more orc big’uns while listening to a podcast about a lady driving a semi looking for a serial killer. Can recommend “Alice isn’t Dead.” Anyway, I’ve got 25 of them now led by Warboss Gorgut from Lair of the Orclord from Warhammer Quest!

Orc Bosses!

Here is the Age of Sigmar Loonshrine I painted a while ago and the Idol of Gork and Mork for size comparison!

I’m calling it finished for now… Idol of Gork and Mork from the Storm of Chaos campaign, updated in 2025

Idol of Gork and Mork! Scratch built from foam board, garden rocks, those cheap bead necklace things that Jack Skelington dog tags from Spencer’s gifts come on, and Games Workshop skulls.

I originally made this for the Storm of Chaos campain for Warhammer Fantasy Battles sixth edition in the early 2000’s. I added the bad moon later and combined it with some stone pillars I made as my first attempt with using foam board insulation for builds.

I’m going to be doing some updates to it! Adding more Shields and Totems!

My Blood Bowl teams! The Reikland Reavers in Blue and White and Gold, The Orcland Raiders in Oakland Raiders colors, and The Norsca Rampagers in Minnesota Golden Gopher colors!

I painted this mini at least 15 years ago, maybe closer to 20 and today I found out on Tumblr that it’s from an Angus McBride painting!!!

Some miscellaneous minis that I’ve painted!

Some work in progress shots of my Mordheim board! It’s set in a nearby Orc Fort!

I made some huts and some towers from take out containers, popsicle sticks, paper towels, school glue, and leftover bits for my Mordheim board!

I painted this unit of 30 black orcs as the Krimson Killaz from the 8th edition rulebook/Total War: Warhammer games!

Eeza Ugezod’s Mother Crushers. Black orc regiment of renown from the 1980’s! I’m pretty stoked to have and to have painted 25 of these guys!

Some non-GW minis.

Sexy orc and dwarf.

Sue me.

I love when Grimgor Ironhide checked the hubris of both Valten (and Karl Franz) and Archaon the Everchosen at the conclusion of the Storm of Chaos (global) campaign for Warhammer Fantasy Battles 6th Edition. Just smacked both of them around to prove a point and then left. What was that point? That both of them had made a terrible error not considering Grimgor and his ‘Ardboyz as the main threat.

Also Vardek Crom trying to take his army through Sylvania was equally a dumb idea.

Here are some very old paint jobs from when I played in that campaign!

I made some frenzied (savage) orc chariots for Warhammer the Old World! This particular guy seen before I put him on the chariot has huge Bat Boy from Weekly World News energy and I love him!

Khorne Juggernaut!! From 2023 or 2024!

Orc fighting pit I made years ago! It’s going to go on my Mordheim board!

For Pride Month last year (2024) I did everyone’s favorite Slaaneshi Smokeshow: Stupid Sexy Sigvald the Magnificent, in both his Warhammer Fantasy, and Age of Sigmar versions.

Chaos War Mammoth that I painted a few years ago!

An Amazon purchase, a 3D print that I painted up for our Lost Mines D&D 5E campaign. The second floor has an area for gaming (I decided) here you can see Texas Hold-Em, Roulette, and of course…. BLOOD BOWL!

Here is a scratch built hunters hall I made. I used the old styrofoam inserts that used to come in Warhammer sets as the basis for the second floor. That’s a real mouse pelt that some taxidermists use to practice. The rest is dowels, popsicle sticks, foam board… that kind of stuff.

Here are some close ups of some of the Forge World units for Warhammer Fantasy that I have! I also have a Bonegrinder Giant!

This is really cool!!! Absolutely beautiful!

i finished my biggest project yet :))

i made spirited away's bathouse from scratch. most materials came from my trash or the dollar store

Close ups of the Warriors of Chaos army. Still need to finish basing a lot of them.

Close ups of the Orcs and Goblins army. I need to finish the bases on a lot of these and it’s my least favorite part. Buy flock in bulk: my advice

The games room.

(Most of) My Orcs and Goblins army is on the left and (most of) my Warriors of Chaos army is on the right inside three Warhammer Fortresses.

I kitbashed a Nippon Ronin in the Empire! They’ve taken out some raiding orcs!

Azhag the Slaughterer! I always wanted the 8th edition version of him too but I really love my 5th edition sculpt and here it is!

Egrimm Van Horstmann. I painted this last year for a contest.
