Orc's Drift - The Grand Finale

[Thantsants]

Also nearing completion with the Dwarfs of Ashak Rise. Two more clansmen to paint up and some crossbow dwarfs wending their way as we speak, courtesy of Phreedh. 

I had to demote Snorinn to join the clansmen as I manged to track down the original scenario mini on ebay a while back - no silly prices on this one!  Snorinn is the one on the right. Borinn, his father and mastermind of the desertion/gold panning scheme, is on the left.







Not combatants but key in Borinn's get-away plan are these three fine young fillies -





and where would we be without some battle scenes...

I picked up bagrash at the weekend!

I picked up bagrash at the weekend! 

You need an ointment for that, mate?

Thants, when it rains it pours... Good job, and I like the new Snorinn better than the old! Looking forward to see my crossbow guys painted up! =D

I picked up bagrash at the weekend!   

Wow - congratulations I think!

How much do you want for him?! 

[rob_the_robgoblin]

Nice one thants, it's looking good! Still haven't sorted through that stuff, my other half's dad is here. 

[Thantsants]

Cheers Rob - no worries about your sort out - looks like that little game I keep talking about might have to be curtailed - relatives stuff going on all weekend myself...

Ahh, a pleasure looking at your pics. Once again thank you for posting them.

[Thantsants]

Pleasure's all mine!

Might even get the last two of Borinn's clansmen based up and photographed if I can get rid of the outlaws who are coming round for a BBQ in good time! 

[Thantsants]

As promised but way past my bedtime...

My favouritest orc mini ever doing what orcs do best -crumping elves!

No wonder the orcs are pissed, that elf in the background seems to have made his hood out of orc skin! =)

That dwarf thief is a great mini, you have an awesome collection of models painted up by now mate! Browsed through your old pics yesterday evening. You've had a bloody productive spring! =D

[rob_the_robgoblin]

Aye! and it all looks great!

I think I  have that 'crumpin' orc kicking around somewhere...

[Thantsants]

Cheers fellas - hoping to have it all ready by the summer hols so I can play through the whole scenario!

Must...  paint... more... minis... 

No wonder the orcs are pissed, that elf in the background seems to have made his hood out of orc skin! =)

Haha - well I like that green - what can I say! 

[Thantsants]

... and talking of green...















Quite chuffed with this guy's shield - took the design from the Kwae Carr Orc's page in the scenario booklet and painted it with a sharpened stick, filling in the gaps with a brush! Might have to fill in the background in red to hep it stand out more - not terribly clear with the metallic background... 



... and the obligatory battle scene - Ambush at Ashak Rise!



Loads more mugshots and a few ramblings on the blog -

Awesome update, they look very nice!

I have huge problems when faced with a blank shield - I'm rubbish at free hand painting. =) Yours turned out well, but as you say - more contrast with the background might make it more distinct.

[Thantsants]

Cheers Phreedh - went back to it and in true Orky style I painted it red! 

Looks a bit better I think...
