Jevenkah and Teshub with more topless, er, roofless buildings

[Argonor]

Thank you! Yes, the roof does come off the Orc Hall. Here's a pic of the start of the set-up for the next game:



And if the thaw comes, I'll let you know

Jevenkah

Consider this idea borrowed and stored for later use.

I can't quite see from the pic, if the hall has closeable doors, but if it has, it's a  perfect keep fpr Orcs, Barbarians, an evil sorcerer or warlord...

Only thing I'm a bit worried about, is how my savage tribers are going to get the giant slaps in place for the roof...  I might go for a thatched or shingled version - maybe even with an accessable platform, where some rock lobber or other devilish contraption could be placed.

Darn, you've set my mind on fire with this!     I can see it play a lot of roles in adventure-style games, where the heroes have to enter it to complete some quest (or even just to uncover the nest clue).

[Doomhippie]

Wow, now that is what I call an orc stronghold. Wonderfullly done, and it really looks heavy, strong and suitably barbaric. Two thumbs up from here!

[FramFramson]

Whoa! Very cool!

[Jevenkah]

Thanks!

I love your sig, Argonor. The tops of the arches could hold various different coverings. There are 7 level points of contact, so you could build a selection and swap them. Defense equipment on one side, tower on the other?

These doors do come out (I'll be sure to take a couple pix of the doors out when it's in use), with enough room for 2 orcs to fit under the lintel. There is a trap door on a murder-hole over the outer door that one of the orcs is standing on. That doesn't come off.


Thanks Doomhippie! My stonework has come a long way since joining the LAF. I was going for a heavy, worn, distinctively orc look and I'm so happy with the piece!

DeafNala, thanks again! Here's a nicer angle of the throne, with a few more characters moving in:

[Argonor]

It's just so übercool!

Finally a proper place to put all those fantastic evil overlords that come sitting on a throne, and that I've put off buying because I wouldn't  have a fitting backdrop.

I'll go check my stash of styropor, styrofoam, and foamboard tomorrow (it's a we bit cold hereabouts, and we have a heavy rainstorm, so I don't want to cross the yard and poke about in the cold workshop with just a single bulp over the worktable to light up the room). I even think I have an old Citadel (SO befitting  ) foamcutter somewhere...

[Lowtardog]

lovely terrain

[DeafNala]

Thanks for the additional photos. That is a SPLENDID LOOKING piece that mirrors the character of its inhabitants WONDERFULLY.

[Peithetairos]

Excellent terrain. Atmospheric, well executed and a perfect match for the Orcs. Consider me a fan.

[Jevenkah]

Thanks for the hearty compliments majorsmith, Hupp, Fram and Lowtardog!

Peithetairos- I've been loving your works (and how-tos), so thank you! My husband and I felt this fantastic assembly of orcs deserved a grand structure. He delivered a great piece to me to paint. He even blackwashed it for me. 

DeafNala- I'm glad you're able to pick up on the mood through the photos. Sometimes I swear I can smell the orcs. It's not nice.


Argonor, I hope you had good foam diving weather today! I'm looking forward to your creation.


Speaking of Evil Overlords...we have this new orcish overlord who Teshub finished painting and was lurking away from the camera in the hall shot:




Waiting to roll some dice tomorrow,
Jevenkah

[Argonor]

Yup. I've found some boards that could be turned into something. Now I just have to wait for some more rainy days to keep me inside (we have quite a big garden, and as if the normal spring work isn't enough, I have some tidying up to do after cutting down half our big hazels behind the house).

Time is the one commodity that's always too scarce...

[Dr Mathias]

I love those Nick Lund orcs. Some of the first figures I painted

Very cool stuff!

[DeafNala]

The new Orc Lord looks TERRIFIC. The Master of the Shades of Brown just keeps getting better. VERY WELL DONE!

[Teshub]

The new Orc Lord look TERRIFIC. The Master of the Shades of Brown just keeps getting better. VERY WELL DONE!

Thank you Nala, and for all your painting advice (on the Lady a Day thread) and limitless encouragement (always)!
Now there are so many more Shades of Brown to learn and to paint...

[Arthadan]

Amazing table and very nice miniatures, as always. Must be a pleasure playing with that.

Thanks for sharing!

[LotB]

Compliments!
The temple is very good and the Orcs fine painted!
