Orc's Drift - The Grand Finale

[tomogui]

Thantsants, this was amazing and a very satisfying conclusion to a truly epic folly. This sort of madness is what our hobby is all about! Just inspirational stuff. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.

Truly Homeric!
Now we demand a whole replay of Orcs Drift, this time winning the good ones!

Bloody brilliant, Thatsants!

It has been a pleasure following this to its finish(?!?).
Wonderful storytelling matched with a wonderful collection of painted classics.
What more could we ask of you?






Except for more!

As I wrote on your blog watching this project progress has given me a great deal of pleasure and I have to admit to being a little sad to see it finish (and in such an epic fashion, too!). 

Thank you very much for taking the time to share it with us all.

Thank you for humouring me in my folly Tomogui! 

One thing leaves me confused, though. Did the shaman cure his 'problem', and how?
Did he burn his junk off in the blazing ruins of the hospital, or rub the ashes on it? It's an odd thing to pick out and ask about, but I feel that I must.

Not at all - I think I meant to drop in a hint somewhere that would have shed some more light on Bagrash's little problem. Lets just say there's no danger of any little Bagrashes running around anymore! No chance of any more infection down there either as the shaman managed to cauterise the whole area... 

Or if you prefer the gentler version - think E.T. 

Now we demand a whole replay of Orcs Drift, this time winning the good ones!

Well Blacksmith who knows what might come out of the Oldhammer Player Registry?

Mason - I do have a Goblin horde waiting to be painted and the back story of the diversionary attack on Ortar to flesh out... 

But that'll have to wait until I've finished Return of the Magnificent Sven. 

So don't be sad Funghy - plenty more to come!

Great news!

I have been keeping an eye on Sven, too...

Just joined the Oldhammer registry as well, so thanks for the linky!

Literally all I've got is the scenario booklet and the command sheets so I thought I'd scratchbuild some buildings (hahahah - when I get the time), scour ebay for whatever original minis I can and use proxies in the main...

 target - get it played this summer! 

I just had to quote this as a reminder for myself

Dear Thantsants,
Your project has been a joy to follow, and albeit I rarely recall Warhammer Fantasy Battles until late 90' (I was a Sci-Fi guy after all), I do have fond memories of the local shops displaying various armies. One of them was, if I remember correct, the whole McDeath set. I met the guy years later and asked him about the miniatures. He said that his former wife threw them away when they made room for another baby...
Anyhow, I do look forward to all your coming ventures, and I must confess that you're project has been a great walk down memory lane.
So thank you!

A hell of an adventure, from start to finish.

There is something sad about the finales of great movies & battle reports...of course I could always go back & reread the Beasty. That aside, WONDROUSLY WELL DONE! ENCORE!

Yikes, that's going back a bit - ah the naivety of youth! 

Cheers Siversixx, although the story about the McDeath miniatures is very distressing! 

Thanks Fram and Deafnala - it is a bit sad I must admit, but at least Lustria is beckoning

I agree on all counts. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm sad that's it over. Well done sir! Well done indeed...

[Thantsants]

Cheers Voodoo - I'll perhaps be able to make some time to have a go at your tasty looking OP4S rules, or play some more Havoc, which I haven't done in a while.

Fantastic.

This is what wargaming should be about.  Thank you for ALL the postings.

Still stunning after all these years...

That's some threadomancy there! However, there's some great old lead (and plastic) there. Really cool to see those figures.
