Being the wonderfully co-ordinated meat Popsicle that I am, I decided to bring an alternative army down Friday that wasn't the Mirthless Orks.
And then dropped the box on the table, incorrectly by about 5 degrees, turned - and the whole box smooshed onto the floor.
This is part of the Chaos Slaanesh/Emporers Children derivative force - I built from my OTT Chaos Army Collection - The other half Is a Chaos Khorne/World Eater Derivative.
They were all repainted/built in my late 20s early 30s - and were used until I stopped playing 8th.
24 Models of various units survived unscathed.
28 models required a single item to be reglued
23 models had 2 or more items to reglue/pin.
Which got me thinking - that's almost 1/3rd 1/3rd 1/3rd
How do I mark up the survivors? The newly healed? And the seriously wounded?
THE 'UNDEFEATED'
THE 'HEALED'
THE 'RUINED' - I gave up at this point after reattaching all heads. I couldn't leave my troops headless. Armless yes, but headless no.
I asked the girlfriend who was painting pictures how I could possibly mark up these 3 groups...
And she chucked some acrylic metallic marker pens at me.
So I did this to one shoulder pad, and then a whole bifurcated side colour.
Shiney and lush was the result.
Whilst I will be cracking back open the mega-scenery project - these will be the first victims of my sonic cleaner in the new work area.
Zenithal, and highlights in metallic inks (pink vs purple again) - orange weapons.
20 years on almost I want to see how quick and well I can redo them. I even know how to thin paints 
But how to note the 3 groups? Pink/Purple for the "UNDEFEATED" - Orange First/Arm for the "HEALED" - Orange Leg/foot for the 'RUINED'?
They'll still go back into original 'squads' but this will add a little more variety.
Then there's the matter of some Jump pack orcs, some goblin artillery, and two blood bowl teams. But hey that's a post for another day...
