Foodmachine, Heavy Starch Mayhem

So, with the holiday season in full swing I am out here "pimping" a good cause. The cause if Foodmachine. This is something I am happy to see being done. I know that not everyone has had to rely on food banks or any other assistance programs, but I know that I have once in my life at least and I also know what it is like to not be able to put food on the table for my family. I have been there and I know I don't ever want to go back. 



It is one thing to be without, it is a completely other thing to not only be without but have to go to someone else and ask for that help. I know I am a pretty independent minded individual and that it takes a lot to swallow your pride and go that step. I also know that it doesn't take too much to step up and put something in for those in need. 

I know I have sort of tooted my own horn by showing that myself and J have both painted up models for this cause through what is known as Orange Crush. Below you will find a list of what the army includes as well as a widget to donate and links to all the models received so far as well as to the Foodmachine website.

Orange Crush: Painting for Charity


We’re also kicking things up this year with a companion event for all the hobbyists out there.  Orange is the official color of hunger awareness and so we wanted to combine that aspect of the charity into Foodmachine. Project: Orange Crush (Hunger) gives hobbyists the chance to devote their special talents to the cause.

This year, we've drawn up a Tier 4 Lord Carver army full of Farrow models.  We’re asking the community to sign up to paint a model from the army in an orange scheme of their choosing.  The army will then be auctioned off for charity. Privateer Press’ studio painters, Matt DiPietro and Meg Maples, will be painting up Arkadius and Sturm & Drang (respectively) as bonus warlocks, while this year’s GenCon Formula P3 Grandmaster, Richard Curtiss, will be painting up Lord Carver for the army. In addition, Privateer Press’ hobby manager, Leo Carson-DePasquale, has agreed to paint up Targ. That’s a great looking start to this impressive project!

Here’s what this year’s army looks like:

• Army Name: Foodmachine 2012
