Well, I didnt paint what I had planned to tonight, but I did get an hour or so of painting done. I had a set of 12 Mordor Orcs assembled and undercoated, but because the are all different, I was a bit reticent to paint them. I was looking around the Games workshop site and found the following link:
http://www.games-workshop.co.uk/thelordoftherings/uk/returnking/hobby/painting/evil/orc/default.htm

which has a great article about batch painting these, and involved basecoating all of the model with Scorched Brown to start with. This was great to do while I was listening to a program on the box and chatting with Rowan as it didnt require much concentration. I did this with all 12 and then started painting the boots, gloves, sheilds and under garments! I got through 6 of these but this took longer so I just typed this and its time to stop.
Its nice to have got somewhere painting something new tonight. If these are as easy as the article says I'll get the other sprue I had painted next. Once these are finished.... No pictures today as I did some earlier, and want to show these orcs once they are finished.
