Orc's Drift - The Grand Finale

[Argonor]

Wonderful!

I'll go home and work on my 3'x3'/90cmx90cm table right after work. I need it for our (pending) SBH campaign...

Had hoped to seal it last weekend, but I was way too tired in the evenings after moving heavy stuff all day...

Really feel an urge to get some fantasy minis on the table everytime I watch this thread. And everytime I see a painted mini at my home, I automatically start looking for my dice. Withdrawal symptoms after not playing a game for more than a month, I guess....

  Brilliant stuff oodles of character in that lot!

[LeadAsbestos]

Yep, just perfect! Exactly what I like about minis, and about this forum! Damned inspiring!

[Thantsants]

Thanks all! Definitely the morale boost I needed - its been a long slog and there's a way to go yet - sorry to anyone who's sick to the backteeth of orcs btw! 

Know what you mean Argonor - I'm going to have to dream up another little Orc's Drift related scenario to try out the 2nd ed rules and get some dice rolling again!

Anyway must get on with those last few orcs for the Kwae Karr tribe...

 This is such a great thread.Brings back loads of memories of all the old miniatures.Now like most I need to track them all down  .

 Keep up the good work.

[Thantsants]

Thanks Manic - just got a few more characters I'd like to nab so hold off your foraging for the mo! 

Right so another milestone - I have finished my first Orc tribe! 

Its a slight cheat as a lot of the minis I have posted before in various shots, however, not altogether like this!



Also managed to get Bagrash - pardon the phrase! 



and had fun with his shield - Fyarr will go mad when he sees the size of those ears! 



In the process of putting the Kwae Karr Orcs together I have not only managed to paint up Rugluds Armoured Orcs (still after plastic crossbows for them?!  ) but also half of Harboth's Orc Archers - Harboth and his standard bearer being the last additions -





As well as all this Orciness I finally got round to painting up two replacements for the Dwarfs of Ashak Rise - Nobby the crossbowman...



...replaces the Gnome sharp-shooter!



and the Dwarf miner replaces this little fella on the far right -



As the armoured Dwarf seems a little smaller than the others he will fit in nicely with my band of Gnome Adventurers - when I get round to them...

And since the miner is holding up a little nugget of gold - the reason this band of dwarfs deserted their posts - I had to put him down by the river, happily panning!

 





More ramblings here!

Hehe great little upload. I love the prospector and the Harboths Orc Archers command. Great stuff.

What a nice mix in that update! Great shield on Bagrash, who turned out really nice as a whole!

[Thantsants]

Cheers fellas!

Best get started with the 30 or so orcs for the Severed Hand tribe... 

[dinohunterpoa]

Speechless!!!

WONDERFUL!

I particularly like very much the old Citadel villagers!

Keep Going!

:O)

[VoodooInk]

Great work on the shield! Oh, and what's wrong with the ears??

[Thantsants]

Thanks fellas -

As for the ears - they just came out a little larger than intended!

Hope to have the first batch of the warriors of the Severed Hand Tribe up some time over the weekend...

I'm beginning to lament selling all my old GW orkses (including Ruglud's Armoured Orcs) last summer.

Which brings me back to my old maxim: Never, ever get rid of anything - you'll always need it a few months later...

What does the wife say about that?

She's a collector, too...
