Sliding into home at the last minute, but April’s project is complete!

April Challenge Progress
I know I’ve been pretty quiet all month – I’ve been spending a lot of time on non-hobby related activities. I’m still in the challenge though, and have been working to get my project complete,
April Painting Challenge
I never really liked the Snikkrot model that GW made, in my opinion he pretty much looks like any other ork – no clan designation, and for being stripped down of gear (as his description has him) he is still carting around a lot of stuff.

Another Deffkopta!
For my painting challenge this month, I decided to do a Deffkopta. I’ve been a slacker about posting lately – part of it is because I let my domain expire, but now that is fixed, it’s back to business. Here is my progression so far:
