The Deathskulls are coming along

I am at work as I write this however I plan on posting more pictures tonight. I have been frantically painting Ork after Ork after Ork for about a month and a half now and man I am no where near close to done! One of my close friends and Judges is running a RTT at the end of the month and at one time in my very gullible age I thought I might have 80-90% of the army done, now however 40-50% seems more likely. I have got to say however I am having a blast playing Orks. Painting them, modelling them, Gaming with them have all went well above my expectations. As many of you know I played Eldar for 18+yrs and I cannot recall having more fun with an army as I have had with Orks, not even with the Eldar. I think what really makes it the most enjoyable is I find myself laughing and smiling when I model and paint them because honestly I am not sure you can put to many grots on something that is orky. looking back over the years of gaming (at various levels) I remember thinking many times while playing ork players "how in the world are they having so much fun they are losing horribly" And then it hit me the other day while painting up a battlewagon, THEY DIDN'T REALLY CARE IF THEY WON OR LOST, they would probably prefer it but overall to Ork players I don't think it matters that much. They are to busy laughing when their trukk runs through the Woods and crashes or their weirdboy blows them up, or the shokk attakk gun sucking in half their army, that is why it is so relaxing for them. I must say I have never been so happy to be apart of a fraternity as I am to be part of the WHHHAAAAAAAA!
