Kaptain's Log - October: "I'm an ork! Not a doctor!"
Vulkan held his jaw in pain as he walked down the corridor. A recent mission to a daemon world had gone better than he initially expected, but in the heat of battle he was struck in the head by a chaos warrior's hammer. His genetically enhanced reflexes let him avoid a fatal blow at the last second, but he had lost a handful of teeth in the process. Bearing the pain at first had been simple, but infection had set in and none of his 'home remedies' he made were working. He had no choice. He had to visit Mad Dok Bonez...
The screams coming from behind the door made him hesitate for a moment. But if he could face down hordes of daemonic chaos spawn, he could surely survive a short visit to an ork doctor. As he entered the room, blood splashed about his feet as the Mad Dok finished hammering what looked like a pogo-stick to another ork's chest. Spinning to see who was interrupting his work, Bonez gleefully shuffled over to the space marine.
"Been wonderin' when I'd see youz! Da biggest mutie ork yet must've some work done on his gidgits!"
Trying his best not to think what a 'gidgit' was, Vulkan shook his head. "I lost a few... 'teef' during the last fight and was hoping you could help me."
Clucking like a hen as he dug through his drawers, the mad ork flung a car tire, three severed hands, and a pair of dentures out of his way before ecstatically whooping at his successful search. "Dis'll do yous fine. Take two of these and see me in da mornin!"
Before Vulkan could protest, he was shoved out of the office and the screaming began anew. He just sat there for a moment in confusion, wondering what he was supposed to do with a pair of squigs...
In all of our tool kits we have something sharp. Drills, hobby knives, scrapers, etc. And this month I want you to make the most of them! Find a way to physically remove a portion of your model and work it into your final product! Gouge some claw marks, do some bullet holes, drill your barrels, or replace a hand with something else. Be creative! Most of us have probably gone overboard at one point or another with cleaning mold lines or such, so think of this as turning your mistakes into results.
