Swarm  to your heart's content!

My orcy recruiter has been busy again, bashing heads and stuffing poor unfortunates into sacks...

Two Gobbo stickas in today's haul!

Apart from being rather busy this past week I've rediscovered an old flash game I quite enjoyed wasting time on...

Happy procrastinating!

Really nice stuff man. Great job!

[rob_the_robgoblin]

hehehehe!

Love the old gobbos!

Jolly good show.

C'mon Thants, need more greenies

[Thantsants]

Cheers - I know - the greenies are shouting at me too -

Got 4 Norse guys I want to finish that are nearly done... 

.... but just taken delivery of 2 gnomes, male and female barbarians and a red indian type shaman who has cleric on his slotta tab and may just squeeze into my Norse band. 

Well the greenies have to eat something - which will be the mission objective in the game of SOBH I'm planning... 

Talking of games, Hetz old chum - thought it might be a laugh to have a go at the Orc's Drift scenarios when we finally hook up for that game of WFB3 you mentioned a while back...

Hope to be back on track by the weekend...

No probs, I've been looking through my copy today We both have no probs with the Orcs, I have loads of Dwarves, you have Elves...  We've almost done it   I don't have many humans though - enter your Norse.

[Thantsants]

oh yeah - forgot I bought a nice old paladin and a lord of battle too - got to be good for some of the Grand League's human characters...

[hetz]

Lords of Battle! I have those, forgot about them. Got a load of AHQ men-at-arms too. Excellent, more stuff to paint 

[Thantsants]

Breaker one nine - this here's the duck - looks like we got us a convoy good buddy!   

 

Fond memories of games of AHQ with my old mate years ago - seem to remember those men-at-arms weren't that bad for placcy minis.

Well plenty of time to get painted - I figure the latest addition to the family is due anytime now and I should be ok for a daypass by the time the summer hols arrive! 

[Thantsants]

Hey Erny...

Boar boyz you say - ditto...

Race ya! 

I win!! 

Sorry - very childish but it got me back to painting the greenies!

Rest of the unit are in the process of being stripped so started with the two Hetz kindly procured for me - cheers matie!









Few more photos here - http://teasgettingcold.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-smell-bacon.html

Fair enough...

They look great and I haven't got either of them, OK I  have a variant of the hero figure.  I'm really liking the
skin and the rusty metal. Cool shield too, I always run out of ideas to incorporate that big central boss.


As always I think the terrain is great, I'm going to have to borrow you bases of rough ground scatter. BTW do you have a glass top to your table?

I should add though my unit is 10 strong so I get to take longer.

[Thantsants]

Yep mine is 10 strong too - 8 are only in the stripping stage from my terrible paintjobs from years ago - so bit of a cheat on my part really! 



The top of my desk does have a glass top and an old green leather top underneath - looks ok in photos (someone mistook it for a pond/swamp a while back!) and it saves me unrolling the huge grass mat each time.

Those little rough ground bases are dead easy - they were actually an afterthought to use up the bits of plasticard I had leftover after I'd based the trees and all the clump foliage that was also left over. They're the ones I'm happiest with and really lift the look of my scenery I think!

Happy painting! 

[Erny]

Ahh you see I want the boar with the skull on, that I do not have!!! You have a few marauder boys in there too, I have a bunch of them including the general with the back banner to sort out too.

I recognize the look of your old pre-repaint minis, quite a bunch of mine looked like that. And I also thought you had a swamp/pond thing going on with your table. It looks good!


Had a good look at your blog and I am very envious of your wyvern rider, I have the 80s marauder one but without rider and the 90s one with Azhag on but haven't got round to the citadel goodness.

[Thantsants]

Just had a look on stuff of legends - your marauder general mini looks rather nice!

Its a shame the Marauders seem a little smaller than the citadel boar riders - spose they could be a couple of gruntas that have sneaked into the snortas mob?! Still quite like them, although the boars aren't a patch on the citadel ones - especially old skull face!! 

I have the 90s Azhag in bits at the moment - quite like the wyvern but was never much of a fan of Azhag himself... not a patch on the 80s fella!
