Orc's Drift - The Grand Finale

[LeadAsbestos]

Well done! I knew they were going to a good home!

(just don't let word get to the lads still sitting in bare primer in my drawer! Don't want a tiny uprising/mass exodus on my hands!)

[Graccus]

The one I meant is the 'Spock' one. He seems to have his mouth underneath the fangs.
Or am I mistaken?

Don't want a tiny uprising/mass exodus on my hands!

 

Yeah - know what you mean - I have enough keeping the peace between different projects vying for my limited attention span!

Graccus I see what you mean now but it took me a while to see it! I think what you're seeing as his top lip is in fact the bottom lip and the fangs are jutting out from it!

[Graccus]

Yeah, i see it now.

I didn't see that he has a very pronounced lower lip, I think that's what threw me off.
Still very cool mini's though!

Nice job Thants! Once again, the shield designs look really good. Feel like I'm parroting my last posts - but hey... =)

I'm a bit pissed you're out running me on every bloody mini I have in my lead mountain. Oh well - that shouldn't stress me out. The fact I haven't painted anything at all the last month or so is though. Tonight I've made some preparations though, cleaned my painting area - prepped some half painted minis and my wife is having a friend over.

[Thantsants]

Apologies mate - as you've probably noticed I have the attention span of a a 2 year old!

Think you'll be safe on the undead front for a while though and I'll give you a heads up about my burgeoning chaos band of beasties which keep trying to barge into the paint queue just in case you had any plans for something similar...  

You'll be happy to hear I'm off on hols for a week on a barge so not sure how much painting I'll get done (booze and piss-taking from my non-wargaming mate may take its toll!)

Now hurry up - I want to hear about the latest big trouble in little Stillburg!  

[Thantsants]

Hello again one and all - guess what....


More orcs!  

Got the last few done for the main unit of warriors for the Severed Hand Tribe - just a few archers and Hagar Sheol, their chieftain, to do to finish the whole tribe...  

Enjoyed these fellas as some I've had since I was a kid and its great to see them with a better paint job than they received originally. Thanks to Phreedh for the cool boss guy with the antlers - quite like him with one of them damaged!



















I hope to fit the last few Severed Hand Orcs in before Christmas but I have plans for a couple of dioramas for presents which may be a little time consuming...

Way cool, Steve! That antler guy is a favourite of mine too - but one of my absolute favourites all categories is the dual cleaver wielding leader model you've got there. Have one in the pile too (of course sans paint).

I see you put one of Ugezod's black orcs in there too. =)

[manic _miner]

 Nice additions to the units.I also like the orc with two cleavers.

[Thantsants]

Cheers fellas - he's one of my faves too and an original survivor from my youth!

Hopefully have Ugezod done in between geishas and cherry trees over the next couple of weeks!

[kidterminal]

That's a pretty fearsome bunch you got there Steve!

[Thantsants]

Cheers Rob - currently playing a game of WFB3 at the mo and though they may look fearsome they got somewhat mauled by some Elven wildcats, a Treeman and a Zoat!

Painted these two chaps up for some light relief from the diorama I'm making for my Dad's birthday - seems a while since I've done any Orc's Drift stuff! 



Anyways - two replacements for the Linden Way militia - the Norse settlers got drunk and went off on a saga holiday...  Besides I wanted all the Norsemen for a warband all of their own and this pair had more of a ramshackle, peasanty, militia vibe about them.



In fact, together, they kind of reminded me of Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza - so after the Orc's Drift treatment we have...



Jon Eochaid (pronounced Yeo-Hay  ) a misguided and delusional man who has read far too many Estalian romances - and believed every word written in them. Having acquired a battered suit of ancient armour and a rather shoddy sword, Eochaid now believes himself to be a noble knight of the highest chivalric order.

Accompanying him in all his misadventures is his "squire", Groucho Panzer - a gullible and somewhat stupid farmer, who, believing Eochaid's promise of his own castle, agreed to follow him in his travels...



Thanks to Kidterminal who sent me the guy with the club ages ago! Got the chap in the hat in a random lot of stuff off ebay - anyone any ideas where he's from?

Usual gubbins on the blog too - http://teasgettingcold.blogspot.com/2011/01/every-man-is-as-heaven-made-him-and.html

[rob_alderman]

Awesome stuff. It's really obvious why you have chosen to paint these old school miniatures. Lots of charming sculpting.

[phreedh]

Welcome back to the proper figs, mate! Like the guy with the club. Hat-man (sorry, Jon) could use some more metal on the sword. With that hat, I mistook him for a cowboy at first. Didn't realize he was holding a sword until the second time I looked.
