Getting closer and closer... however, one question.

Why is that orc's right hand brownish?

Did he...

Oh dear! Tribe of the ruptured sphincter!

Thanks all - just started another batch of five - hope to whittle down the painting time down to three evenings...

Haha - close - he's actually the Orcish equivalent of James Herriot!

Actually truth be told - Health and Safety have reached even the Warhammer world and it is now mandatory to wear a leather gauntlet when carrying a spear!

There are times that I wonder why I'm still doing this stuff...painting/modeling that is. At such times I wander through threads like the one you've created & it all comes back to me....of such things dreams are made. Thanks for all the inspiration...GREAT WORK!

More than kind Deafnala!

Here's a few more Orcs from the Vile Rune Tribe for your viweing pleasure - only 11 more to go...

... and then a few more pointy eared poncy gits to finish off...

Beginning to run out of the old citadel plastic shields now which is a pain - can't believe the price people charge for them on ebay...

Love the last chap there, with the centurion like helmet! Nice 'uns. =)

The amount of orc sculpts that citadel did back in the day is amazing. They all have so much character. Well Done! I think its time for another battle report, don"t you? Orc tribe vs. Orc tribe perhaps?

You're not wrong there! I reckon the next game will be the biggie - when I get round to actually playing the scenario some time in July or maybe August...

However, assuming the Orcs win (and the odds are pretty much stacked in their favour in the scenario!) I have been thinking of doing a follow up where there is a power struggle as the tribes begin bickering in true Orcy style, and fight for control over the conquered province of Ramalia - there's even some instructions for Magyar Ironfist, who became chieftain of the Kwae Karr Orcs after Fy'arr's ignominious banishment, to try and kill King Fy'arr at the battle of Orc's Drift - both to revenge himself for the perceived insult of being given the weak Human outpost of Linden Way to destroy and to have a go at the Kingship himself!

Things could get awful messy if he succeeds...

Right - had a bit of a lull what with one thing and another but you'll (well some of you anyway!) will be pleased to hear that I've finished!

Well the Orcs anyway!

Here's the last few members of the Vile Rune Rube Tribe -

and command group -

... and the moment that's been a while coming!

All the Orc Tribes together!

You'll have to excuse the blurriness down the middle - I couldn't fit them all in on one decent pic so had to fiddle round with the panoramic feature on my ancient camera which involves stitching two pics together - not done it in a while - can you tell!

Anyway as most of these boyz have been shut up in the cabinet for some time, waiting for the stragglers to catch up I think I may as well review the troops while they're out...

King Fy'arr and the Fy'arr Guard (still cracks me up that!

)

King Fyarr's old tribe, the Kwae Karr Orcs (30 warriors and 10 archers) - now led by his successor, Magyar Ironfist (front left) and accompanied by the snivelling shaman, Bagrash (front right)

The Severed Hand Tribe (20 warriors and 10 archers), led by Hagar Sheol (front) and accompanied by Grashak Kra, his faithful Hobhound Handler and his 10 not so faithful Hobhounds

... and finally the Vile Rune Tribe ( 40 Orc warriors), led by Fangor Gripe (front centre), accompanied by Guthrum Mane the alcoholic Rock Giant (the big guy!) and shadowed by the weasly Half Orc spy Silas Meel (front left).

Just a few more Elves to do to finish off Brommedir's Bows and the Wood Elves of Kachass Pass...

It all looks great together!

What's next?*

*Yes, I want to see more!!!

Thantsants · « **Reply #479 on:** August 27, 2011, 08:52:53 AM »

Cheers fellas - well after the elves I've got a bit more scenery to do - a river and a small lake, some more sandbag defences for Orc's Drift, maybe some mountains for the table edge but porbably not as I want to get this played this year!

Next on the horizon is a follow on to the Magnificent Sven scenario...
