Some of you may remember Orktober 2021 (last year) and how, despite me being the underdog in a clash against the mighty Wudugast, we drew even with a total of 39 models painted each. That still blows my mind actually.
Well now it’s nearly that time again for Wudu and I to draw our chain-swords, reload our Big Shootas, ready our paint brushes and fight to the death!
This year, after much behind the scenes squabbling, long nights pondering over ancient scriptures and scrolls, debating with scholars and military tacticians we have come up with a new set of rules.
Last year, quite simply, it was one model = one point.
This year, still quite simple really, the point scoring system is as follows:
One greenskin (grot, stormboy, nob etc) = one point
One vehicle (buggy, trukk, Deff dredd etc) = two points
One terrain piece (scatter terrain, tower etc) = three points

If anyone wants to join in on the fun this year by all means jump in. The only real rule is to have fun and of course, even though there will be a decent amount of blood spilt, it’s a friendly competition so no wankers!
Cheers

Sounds fair to me! 🙂 I’ll just order meself a couple of hundred 6mm scale orcs to paint and that should make me a winner! 😉 Of course, I’d be here until December trying to find a green that I was happy with! Hope you enjoy the competition!

Finding the right green of Orcs really is the trouble with Orcs! Although once found as 6mm, a quick airbrush and you’ve got 1000’s done in a hour or less! (including setting-up and cleaning the airbrush!!)

For me, like human skin, there are many different shades. Personally for me that means anything from albino white to very dark green hehe

I’ve only got two Ork models that aren’t painted, but could probably fit them in while doing Zomtober, and Apocalypse Me.

If you want to take part Eric, you can register here for Apocalypse Me https://wargamesculptorsblog.blogspot.com/2022/09/apocalypse-me-2022.html and I will pass your details to whoever is running Zomtober this tear for you, as zombies count in both

I’d love to join in mate but with the speed that I paint at I’d be lucky to get a single point! Instead I’ll follow along switching aligence between you both as would befit any ork determined to be on the winning side would surely do. 😉

Very much looking forward to this year’s challenge. Looks like I’ve got five more days to break the boyz out from storage and pour some Orktober love into them. Just need to figure out my goals for the month. Cheers as always.

I have some LOTR orcs kicking around but I’m tied up in other projects so I won’t be able to have a go this time around. I reckon you and Wudu would give me a good beating if I did enter as you two were amazingly productive last year. I’m excited to see who emerges as the winner from this year’s challenge and if you two draw again, then some of us are going to be really skeptical about this competition 😉
