Got a standard painted up tonight - last three archers also got base-coated.

Once they're done its off to finish the champion and drummer, paint up Ugezod/Hagar Sheol and that'll be another Orc tribe under my belt!

I'm glad you went with the design. They will definitely turn heads on the table and fit the feel of the force.

I especially like the arrows- nice touch. ;)

'All a-quiver'... nice.

Cheers Voodoo!

Thinking ahead to Hagar - I'm trying to come up with another "hand" themed shield for him but its got to be a bit spesh, him being the chieftain and all...

Had a brilliant idea the other night but I can't remember it now!  >:(

Great design on the banner!  The only good dwarf is a dead dwarf.  Your army is the reason I went out and spent a ton on Orcs from this era.  I can't wait to see these guys miss their targets then beat the heck out of each other during your next battle report.

Cheers! - but is that why I can't find any nice big lots of old Orcs on ebay to complete the Vile Rune tribe ...  ;)

Fancy a bit of a game this weekend actually and as KingofDaveness has just released his new version of Skulldred I might give that a go if I get time...

Not my fault.  I have about a hundred to paint before I start bidding on more.  Besides I only by American Orcs or those that came here to work in the computer industry then got let go when the computer market crashed in 2001 and couldn't afford to go home :)

Can't wait to see the report.

Fair enough - I was going to thankyou for saving my marriage if you were responsable!  lol

I'm thinking along the lines of some desperate Dwarf miners trapped behind the Orc advance up in the mountains above the Fendal Plains as a scenario - thus maintaining a tenuous link to the project!  :D

Got the last three archers done - got a bit of a treat next  - Yaskin Forit, the unit champion and his tone deaf drummer, Ringo McSkins (Cheers for the inspiration on the name DeafNala)!

Really like the arrows, did you use wire and paper for them? (flesh is pretty nice too)

Awesome.. so how many is that for you now?

How about a photo of all your painted orcs in one delicious block!

I must get a move on, I have had eight dwarves and eight orcs on the painting line for three months now!

I just took a nice leisurely stroll through all the Orc's Drift photos & reports on your WONDERFUL Blog...VERY INSPIRING STUFF! I LOVE the ambush of the Dwarf Mule Train.
Now I have to go back & check out everything you've done...a tough job, but someone has to do it.

Cheers all!

Dave - I have three more minis to do to complete the list given in the Orc's Drift scenario pack for the Severed Hand Orcs. I think a group shot of them and the Kwae Karr Orcs will be in order, along with King Fyarr on his Wyvern, accompanied by his trusty Fyarr Guard!

Deafnala - glad you liked it but please excuse my earlier drybrushtastic paintjobs in my earlier posts!  ::)
