Orc's Drift - The Grand Finale

[phreedh]

Mind you I need some like-minded souls to play with

Pack your minis in a bag and hop on to a plane to Sweden. Sorted! I'll provide a table, some quality beverages and a sofa to crash on. I'm sure your Mrs wouldn't mind being left alone with the young'uns.

Or to the USA! I've got that stuff too! Well, my sofa sucks, but we have a guest bedroom!

We're at the height of barbecue season too, so the eating will be good!

Ok so a few more offers and I have the 2010 Bloodbath World Tour sorted! 

Thanks for the kind offers fellas - off to buy a lottery ticket... 

[Thantsants]

... and if you're off on tour you need a flag to wave -

Good job on the banner. What material did you use?

[rob_alderman]

Looks like cartridge paper.

Nice banner! Good design. 

[phreedh]

Car... tridge... pa... perrrr? *googles*

[rob_alderman]

Normal White Printer paper. 

[Erny]

Much easier to drive down Saff to Cambridge than get on a plane  . I have the table, the original rules, the geniuine buildings  and I may even be able to sub in for some of your missing original figures....

More realistically there must be at least one local club in your city, clubs are certainly the way. Steer clear of the GW shop though. Anything older than a year is heresy and you have to put up with everyone else in there.

Is your standard bearer a more modern perry sculpt?

[Thantsants]

Cheers guys!

The banner is indeed regular printer paper - what a cheapskate am I! It took the paint ok for my War Wyvern banner and didn't crinkle up so works for me! 

It is a nice design totally lifted from the scenario book!

Your offer sounds tempting Erny but you're right - I'll have to bob down to my local club in York - had a look at their website - just need an hour or two that I can call my own - roll on summer hols!

I remember going in to my local GW ages ago to buy some paints (before I discovered Vallejo and internet purchasing!) for my Black Tree Dr Who stuff - got some blank looks when they asked me what I was painting and I replied Genesis era Daleks, Silurians, and Unit troopers!

Got the standard bearer on ebay so no idea of the maker - didn't recognise him as citadel but he looked the part and once I'd lengthened his spear with one of the pikes from the skeleton horde box - bingo I had my standard bearer!

[Thantsants]

Not quite up to this standard though!

That's insanity. Absoloutely awesome paintjob.

I've always been tempted by Bretonnians, but it's all those different knightly orders!!!! 

I might dig out my old plastic ones this week though, I'm going to my parents for a week where all the old school (well, not as old school as yours, but MY old school) plastics (4th/5th edition).

all the old school (well, not as old school as yours, but MY old school) plastics (4th/5th edition). 

Inbetween-school? =)

[Thantsants]

Mid-life crisis school (GW not you Rob!) 

[Thantsants]

Two more characters frm the militia - found the minis so full of character that a backstory for them is writing itself!

Here is Rearguard Captain Leofric (or should that be Leiafric with that helmet?!)- an impetuous young corporal who's hasty field promotion has somewhat gone to his head!





... and Corbin Grincheux, his dour and laconic, Breton Sergeant-at-arms, who deep down inside harbours an almost maternal affection for the young lads in his charge!





and the group shot!
