Orc's Drift - The Grand Finale

[Erny]

Hey nice to see a new post, I'm going to be a pesky pedant again though.

Those shields on the biguns are third edition Warhammer regiments Goblin shields not the 4th edition ones.

Which given the time frame of you collection you may be happier with. I have round flat shields coming out of my ears. Send me an address and i can certainly send you five. However I think the ones you are using look fine.

All looking good, you should get some games of SoBH in with these while your waiting to be ready for the campaign. get some use out of them!

Hi have you got any Bugman's sheilds?

[thebinmann]

Being Swedish I didn't even think to pronounce it like "fire"... I thought "fy'-arr", and it seems I lack the proper frame of reference as well. =) After a quick google, I now get the header on Thant's blog as well... "about as much use as a chocolate fire guard".

Island kooks...

I'd never even thought about it until you ask. But were are kooks

Next you'll ask for glass nails, sky hooks, rainbow paint and long weights!

[Thantsants]

Now there's lovely (you know the Welsh (I mean Dwarven) guard from Rorke's (I mean Orc's) Drift)

Sorry Binman missed that one! 

Btw, I didn't catch the joke in "The Fyarr Guard"... please enlighten me!

No worries Phreedh - the pun only revealed itself to me recently... Same with Bagrash, as I've mentioned before - didn't work that one out till I did a google images search! 

My turn to be confused! Island Kooks? Seems we're all talking in riddles! 

I'm going to be a pesky pedant again though.

Mister Erny Sir, be quiet now, will you? There's a good gentleman. You'll upset the lads.

Sorry love that quote from Zulu! 

Couldn't quite remember where they came from - inherited some of the nasty plastic gobbos and figured the shields came with them - I'll have to reinstate them on the backs of my Warhammer regiments Gobbo stickas!

A few of those round shields would be great - pm sent.

[Thantsants]

About those games of SOBH Erny - would love to - got any spare hours you could send with the shields! 

Some more stuff I got done over the weekend!

Standard bearer





and Gobbo spears (sorry Erny - know you're after some but as you'll see in the second pic I need these guys to deal with a cat problem!)





More ramblings here as ever... http://teasgettingcold.blogspot.com/2010/05/eight-out-of-ten-cats-prefer-gobbos.html

Hi have you got any Bugman's sheilds?

I'm not aware that there are any Bugman specific shields but if there are I don't have any.

[Erny]

I didn't think I'd ever say this but less painting more gaming!!! Mainly so the rest of us can catch up.

Love the gobbos by the way. I pretty much have enough gobbo spears now so no hard feelings  .

[phreedh]

My god Thants... you've been cranking them out like crazy. Good job!

Agree with Erny, get some gaming on! I want to see these in action now! =)

Guess I'm wrong, but I thought I'd seen embosed shields...

Good to hear - look forward to seeing the pics.

As for gaming you may have to wait a bit - next to weekends are booked up with family stuff - Mother-in-Law's birthday so I also will have to be on best behaviour... 

Got a week's holiday coming up though after that so I'll see what I can do - got an idea for a little scenario or two that would tie in with the main Orc's Drift storyline...

Besides I need to paint the Linden Way militia up yet - Mayor Leofwine's getting lonely! 

[Thantsants]

But before that...

Some of Borinn's desperate dwarven deserters, lured away from their duties with the Grand League for a spot of gold panning in the river Canis!

[phreedh]

Very nice! The faces look really good!

That axe-dwarf is one of my favourites of the marauder dwarfs, got him lined up with some buddies waiting for paint. That's faaar back in the queue though. =( Only surviving models from my old warhammer days.

[Thantsants]

Yeah, cheers Phreedh,  he's a great sculpt - particularly like him as he has a crossbow strapped to his back so I don't need to buy as many crossbow armed dwarves for the scenario, which seem to go for a bit of a premium on ebay at the mo! 

Was quite chuffed with the pike-dwarf's face too - looks mean enough to be a deserter with gold fever! 

[rob_alderman]

Marauder dwarfs! Best dwarfs EVER.
Except Krautian Landwehr, of course. 

But yeah, I have quite a few, wish I had more bog standard warriors though!!!

[phreedh]

rob, as you know I still have a shitload of the hammerers. Posting up a lead mountain clearance thread today, check the bazaar later.

Sorry about the hijack, Thants... =P
