A photo of the box of Morgok's Krushas, a heavily-armoured warband of orcs, sorry, "orruks" as they're called now.

We're doing a "creative refresh day" at work during March, where you can expense up to $50 for some hobby you enjoy, and you take a day to just... do that hobby, rather than working. So naturally I ordered yet another warband for Warhammer Underworlds and will be painting them next Friday! (I ordered this yesterday just before midday, it arrived today just after midday. 😮)

A photo of three partially painted "orruks" (Games Workshop speak for orks), the Morgok's Krushas warband from Warhammer Underworlds. They're all in battered-looking dark metal and bronze armour, the leader is pointing a sword and roaring, and the other two are mid-weapon swing. Two of the three have their green skin painted.

My creative refresh day was a success! I always forget how much slower it is painting with regular paints as opposed to the Contrast ones though... the brown metallic-looking bits are the same darker silver underneath, I started at 9am and it look me until about 2:45pm to finish doing just those silver bits. All the rest of the colours were done from then until I finished at 5:30pm! I'll finish them off over the weekend.

Three round miniature bases, with really pale blue icy-looking areas and some chunks of rugged white rock/snow, with skulls and bones scattered about.

I know the bases of miniatures aren't the most exciting things, but I'm seriously stoked with how these came out and wanted to photograph them separately before the miniatures themselves are glued on. I immediately thought of snow and ice when I saw the bases, rather than dirt and rubble, and it's excellent to have something a bit different! (The feet are molded to the bases if you're wondering).

A photo of three fully painted "orruks" (Games Workshop speak for orks). They're all in battered-looking dark metal and bronze armour, the leader is pointing a sword and roaring, and the other two are mid-weapon swing. One mid-swing one is holding two metal clubs with spikes coming out of them, and the other's is the same club-looking things but joined together in a nunchuck-like fashion. Their bases are pale blue and white like snow.

And that's Morgok's Krushas done! Proper DSLR photos will be coming on Wednesday once it's not actively raining so I can varnish them.
