Kidterminal's the man to ask about the hobgoblins - they are citadel though and slotta-based - dunno which range like?

The bird hasn't finished being flipped yet either!

Personally I can't wait to do the live long and prosper one - the orc in question even has slightly spockish ears!

He'll go nicely with the Slann in Space Inn as part of my secret sci-fi theme that may begin to permeate the project should I think of any more ways of shoe-horning it in!

Space orcs?! I've never heard of such foolishness... what's next? Cosmic Elves? Astro dwarfs? Pah!

You may be on to something there - what about heavily armoured humans but with ridiculously big shoulder pads on their armour that would seriously impede the movement of their arms...

On second thoughts - it'll never catch on!

How about a group of three orcs with shields doing rock, paper scissors to each other? Not quite grim but still slightly whimsical..

There must be some seriously vulgar signs in sign language to use....

Like it!

Shame I only have 6 more orcs equipped with shields! Might have to just glue some more on the backs of others if I get any more ideas...

Well they are a single 2 figure blister that was supposed to be a preview of the hobgoblin army from 2nd ed. I've had them since they came out in 87-88? I don't think Citadel made any others.

Thanks Rob - I now have visions of a seething horde of Hobyahs and Mourngul warriors sweeping across the plains from the Mountains of Mourn....

... and I really don't need another project right now!

Got the rest of the shields done and a lot of fun it was too!

Thanks by the way to Kidterminal for the two Death Commandos - Ugezod and Guzrog - I hope there won't be any conflicts over who leads this tribe as I have the later version of Ugezod as a stand in for the Hagar Sheol scenario mini!

Inspire by VoodooInk's neat little nicknames I've carried the trend on...

'Police Verso'

'The Fonz'

'Live long and prosper'

'Rock On'

'Flipping the Bird'

... and the mob so far!

Handy!!!!

Those are awesome mate, they really draw your eye to them!

Very cool mini's there!

Does one of those have tusks on top of his upper lip?
Those old orcs were so much more varied and cool than the current ones.

Awesome shield designs too, wish I could paint like that.

Keep up the good work!

'Handy'!?!?

Glad I could be part of the process. These are starting to be a great centerpiece for your Orc Horde.

The 'Rock On' Orc looks like he's doing the fist pump- pure awesomeness!

Thanks fellas!

Not sure which one you mean Graccus but there's a few with tusks but they all seem to be sprouting from the lower jaw?

The Fonz has fangs (or tusks).

Great set of shields, Steve! Love 'em. =)

So he does!

The girls just can't resist those pearly yellows!

Righto - finally got some ogres done - huge thanks to Leadasbestos for these and the command group waiting in the paint queue! Sorry they took so long - got a bit of tunnelvision with the Orc's Drift thing and they got side-lined for a while...

Anyways here's the piccies - thought I'd use the name of Golgfag's tribe as inspiration for the shield design. I thought Rutdrogg could be ogre dialect for Red Dog or Red Wolf - quite fitting I think for these Norther raiders!

Should be a good motif for the standard too - next up when I get back from the weekend...
