COOL STUFF! The Orcs & Shaman painted up WONDERFULLY. While I've seen the Orc minis before, the Heart Breaker Shaman is new to moi...I wonder what he plans to do with the Goblin he's clutching. VERY WELL DONE!

How big are the BTD nightlings? I got some of there dwarves and they match up well with old marauder dwarves. How do these guys look next to GW goblins from that time period?

The BTD one on the left is a bit bigger. I'd freely use them in the same army as separate units but wouldn't mix them together in a unit. With the exception of using one a a leader/champion figure

The BTD on the right is a tad bigger and again would mix them in an army and probably a unit.

That's not to bad. They would  probably fit in pretty good with the black hat goblins. They look a little bigger then classic gw too.

Great painting, love all those little skulls on the shaman (and his little sidekick too!). These guys are surpirsingly well sculpted, I really have to look into the BTD minis sometime soon.

I like your colour scheme - something different! The army looks impressive in those "whole army shots" and I really like the Elf army you did :)

Thanks.
The BTD range has quite a few nice ones in there.

Never seen most of these figure ranges before, but your painting really does want me to buy some even if i'd never get to use them lol.

Do you put all your goblins on 25mm bases?  Looking on BTDs website it doesn't look like the Kev Adams sculpts would rank up on 20mm bases.

I do put them all on 25mm. Mostly play games other then WFB these days so it's not a problem.
The majority would be hard pressed to get them on a 20mm base and if I was going to have to put them on 20's I'd do a multibase where they can be turned etc to better fit in the ranks. The smaller Nightlings from there other range which I also use will have no problems on a 20mm base.

That's cool I just ordered some of the bigger ones and some great orcs. All my metal dwarves are on 25s anyway so it won't matter. I still play WFB 4th but only at home since there isn't a tourney scene for that any more ha ha

I'm tempted to break out 3rd ed and play again. These days I just don't like the look of 20 mm base anymore.

I have a unit of 15 of those Great orcs. Great models but hard dressed t get them to rank up even on 25's. I may go to 30mm for those. Just haven't decided yet hence they sit as bare metal still.

Your army is impressive!! I have got some of those BTD Orcs and Goblins and they are fantastic. The Great Orcs are really huge, I have used 30mm round bases and they stillīd need some more room for the feet.  Did you get any of the Foundry Giants? Iīm planning buying one in the near future.

Are the smaller Nightlings Kevin Adamīs creation too?

Cheers.
