Orc's Drift - The Grand Finale

[phreedh]

Moving along nicely mate! Guthrum looks like a right dirty bastard. I like him!

Edit: And yeah, some of those scenario figs cost an arm and a leg. No need for you to get hung up on that though, plenty of fine old Citadel stuff going much cheaper which will work just as well. And as previously mentioned... the game will be over in 30 minutes anyways.

This is really a nice thread. It's like reliving my youth again, only this time with pictures of lead heroes and not the paper ones that came with the scenario, which we had to use due to lack of money. Thanks a lot.

Pleasure's all mine!

That was the plan - smellovision in acrylics! 

I do have another orc in mind for Hagar's job - the old Mighty Ugezod mini - shame is he seems to go for daft money too! 

Like you say though - plenty of other cool stuff to be had! 

[rob_alderman]

Dunno why, but I read that as if to say you wanted scratch and sniff paints...

The troll looks cool, nice and filthy.

The dwarves are great too, I particularly like the old wizard. Nice touch adding a little grey to his skin, insantly aging him even more! Adds to his droping face. I really, really like it.

Cheers Rob

Not a bad idea actually...

... might have to switch from stinky orcs to those fragrant poncy elves though before the neighbours complain... 

[Erny]

I assume he was the one on ebay recently. I'm keeping a wide birth of the Orc drift stuff at the moment, no point getting into a bidding war with someone on a project.

All looking good.

That'd be right Erny! Thought I'd push the boat out for such a big guy! Shame I didn't get Bagrash the other day but as he went for £15 I wasn't that sorry!

Talking of Bagrash - don't try google images for better pics of him - took me a while to get the joke behind his name until I did this... 

Also got Magyar Ironfist - the new Chieftain of the Kwae Carr Orcs - Fyarr's old tribe before he got booted out for cowardice. More background here if you're interested - http://teasgettingcold.blogspot.com/2010/05/oh-maggie-i-couldnt-have-tried-any-more.html

More importantly - pics!





I'm sure Ruglud won't mind him borrowing Maggot for a bit... 

Must paint some more orcs - getting a bit bored of the same ugly mugs in the background all the time!

Perhaps they should have called hil Sacsore or Soresac?

[rob_alderman]

Cool model, lots of character in it's face.

[phreedh]

Oh how I miss this guy... 

This was one of the first minis I painted when learning how to paint "properly"... ie started to dabble with washes, shading and highlighting etc. I remember his fur pants taking very well to dry brushing. =)

[thebinmann]

Wonderful stuff!

Makes me want to do it in 25mm instead of 10mm, thouh I think I'll o for Lichemaster in 25mm.

Have you started playing yet? If not have you thought of playing the shorter or even longer parts at a show? If I lived in the UK I know I'd love to see it!

Perhaps webcam payperveiw? (ok that's too far, but I think the show idea could be a real goer!)

  For some reason I've got uncomfortable looking Nipponese Samurai called Ichinakas in my head now!

Guess that'll just be me then....

Drybrushing! I'll have you know I painstakingly layered and blended each strand in his hairy pants! 

Cheers for your comments fellas but steady now - didn't think they were this good!

A huge compliment Binman - thanks! Don't know where would have me though...

Perhaps webcam payperveiw?

... and I refuse to ower myself to this level - I know what goes on with these webcam things...

Hopefully have Snorin and Borin done after tea and Satursday's Dr Who so stay posted

[Thantsants]

So as promised - Borinn and Snorinn, son of Borinn!

Loads more gumph on the background here - http://teasgettingcold.blogspot.com/2010/05/and-when-heart-of-dwarf-even-most.html

Here's some pics of these gold-crazed deserters!

[phreedh]

You've really picked up the pace again! =) Really like the pipe smoker (Borinn?).

[Erny]

Nice looking dwarfs, cool buildings, some I don't recognize though you could do with black penning the white showing where you scored the folds on it, minor detail but quick to fix.

I have Iron fist too, an big favorite of mine due to his appearance in the original WHFR book.

I remember prepping a whole load of old Guard minis for a show, a big zombie game, until someone pointed out that nice minis often go walk about in small hands at shows so I panicked and bought a bunch of plastic Catachans and painted them up in a couple of days. If no losses can be guaranteed a show would be cool to do though. Perhaps a LAF old school fest table.
