Great job mate! What next - McDeath? =)

Please do not embarass me by starting and finishing before I get halfway done! Go jungle instead!

I've been thinking abt this:

Haha - no worries there mate - the only McDeath mini I have is Donalbane who I picked up on a whim for acouple of quid on ebay.

I'm a bit further on with The Magnificent Svenn thanks to the LPL and just need to get my Slann warband off the ground to get playing - oh and make all the jungle terrain I'll need...

I was thinking of altering the scenario a bit and continuing the story after the the big battle at Vastervik - that way I don't have to bankrupt myself by chasing down 50 odd Slann and a similar number of villagers! I was thinking something along the lines of following Sven and his band trying to escape after they are overrun by Gurgll and his rebels...

Also got the mini of Kremlo the Slaan and wouldn't mind a pop at that scenario if I can get hold of the book.

Anyways - back to the other greenskins - got my spearmen based up. They were painted fairly quickly so nowt special I'm afraid - only another 22 to do to finish the Vile Rune Tribe!

The new additions to the Tribe together -

... and the whole tribe so far.

There are a few extra orcs I painted ages ago before the crazy idea of doing Orc's Drift occurred to me. Guthrum Mane, the Rock Giant lurks at the back, Fangor Gripe, the one-eyed chap in the front rank, is the chieftain, and the shifty looking fella on the right hand side is Silas Meel, a half-Orc spy and the first mini I painted specifically for this project I think, who starts the scenario imprisoned in the Wood Elves' garrison at Kachas Pass. Fangor Gripe, however, wouldn't mind getting his hands on him and shutting his mouth forever as the spy knows of Gripe's decision to opt out of the Goblin Wars the previous year - a decision that would certainly cost him his chieftainship - and his life...

They are really great. I can't wait to see all tribes together on the table.

I'll need to pop over to York soon!

Cheers Sade - never thought of going through the compendiums - D'oh!

Taking a pic of all the tribes together is going to be interesting - there's around 130 minis, not including King Fy'ar and his wyvern!

Phreedh - you've got about a month and a half to convince the missus that she wants a holiday in sunny York...
