Orc's Drift - The Grand Finale

[phreedh]

I see why you had to spend some time on Bertolac's shield... Good job!

Actually, this thread have suckered me into buy a copy on eBay. Don't play WHFB, but I suppose the scenario and plot can be tweaked for skirmishing.

This is really coming on, really nice set up and photos, loving the shield.

Phreedh,  orcs drift is one of the larger (unit wise) scenarios, if you can pick up any of the older ones they are really good skirmish size games eminently adaptable to SoBH.

I almost got a Terror of the Liche King from the same seller I got Orc's Drift, alas it went beyond the "a few quid" level. =(

Talking of the other old scenarios - recently picked up The Magnificent Svenn scenario as well as Svenn himself on ebay - noticed I already had Juggo Jorikson and a couple of Slann from other job lots so thought it was worth a punt!

Don't know much about it but it looks like a nice skirmish sized game judging from the card characters listed on stuff of legends -

Mind you if the Slann Warhound costs this much...

Think Otherworld do some nice giant lizards which might work well instead... 

but no concentrate - Orc's Drift, Orc's Drift... 

Cheers for the comments by the way!

Your going to need to pick up 2nd edition and ravening hoards to make the collection complete, they were going for bargain basement prices when I go mine a few years back.

[Thantsants]

Cheers for the tip Erny...

Started a new thread to discuss Magnificent Svenn - otherwise I'm liable to get too distracted from Orc's Drift!

Nice job mate, the group shots get cooler and cooler by the day. =)

[rob_the_robgoblin]

Great stuff mate. 

[Thantsants]

Cheers fellas!

Hopefully by the end when I've got more minis painted we should have pics of the full scale orc invasion and all the pathetic defenders of Orc's Drift... Muhahaha 

[manic _miner]

 This is a great thread.Just noticed that I got the pony in the lot I got today and a few others.Love the old style miniatures.Looking forward to seeing more painted miniatures.

[Thantsants]

Cheers Manic!

Afraid its back to work on Monday after a rather nice 4 week period of paternity leave and holiday... 

But why let a small thing like that get in the way! 

[Thantsants]

Erm..what was I saying about not letting work get in the way?! 

Anyway - Bank Holiday Weekend - Hooray! 

Got a bit of painting done...

Gymlet, dogged and one-legged (nearly) Dwarf Sergeant-At-Arms of the Grand League reporting for Walking Wounded Parade, Sir!! 

To save me repeating myself - wrote some more gumph about the hilarious rules for this fellow on my blog -

Also in today's line-up...

Guthrum Mane - fearsome and permanently sozzled Rock Giant (who I mistook for a Giant Hill Troll - must read the scenario notes more closely!  )

[Smokeyrone]

Wonderful stuff.

[Thantsants]

Cheers Smokey!

Know this theme has been mentioned before but I think I've chosen the wrong scenario to do with the budget I have!
