I finished the first demi-unit of orcs for my Warhammer Warband.  It's not a full-sized unit because of the special warband rules.

 

I need to paint one more unit like them, a unit of Big 'Uns, a unit of Arrer Boyz, and the boss before June 1 (hopefully).

I thought I'd add more modules to the catwalk, so I built a corner piece.

 

 

I'll probably do a second one, similar to this one.

 

The 2007-08 Campaign still has about four or five months left in it, but I'm already looking ahead to the next campaign for several reasons.  One, I'm administrating it.  Two, I've been playing dwarfs for the past two years, and am ready for something different. 

What that something might be is grist for Premise Beach.  I've basically got four armies:

• Empire--my largest army, but my friend Scott is wanting to borrow this one for the '08-09 campaign
• Orcs--I've been kicking orc ass for the past year, convincing me once again that they kinda suck
• Chaos--another army I've found underwhelming, with limited tactical possibilities
• Dwarfs--which I've been playing for the past two years, although with a bit of success

I've also got a small Vampire Counts army, one that actually belongs to a friend but is currently staying at my house.  I think of them as "undead refugees."  The VC just got a new army book, one that makes them wicked powerful, so I need to think about that.

I actually thought about doing High Elves, using the new molds from Prince August.  Unfortunately, this means learning how to a) heat metal, and b) cast it without a) burning or b) poisoning myself.  I wish I could say that this wasn't a problem, but I know me and my motor skills too well.

Okay, I've got some things finished. Here's the pics.
