And two completed warbands (to be dispatched to their recipient today): mercenaries and goblin raiders.

Cor, they came out nicely!

Both warbands look great! Not a fan of the actual GW Ogres, but they look good towering above the plated soldier, suggesting a traveling mercenary warband that collected soldiers from different corners of the known world.

Allow me a question to the more historical-inclined users: what's the name (or period/army that used it) of the helmet on the rightmost footsoldier above?

Thanks!

Gabbi, I think it's a type of kettlehat - later versions became more sallet-like by including eye-slits in the brim. The models are Perry foot knights - appropriate for the Wars of the Roses.

I agree on the ogres: they're more like giants than the old Citadel and Chronicle ones.

Here's an old Essex gnoll. I used to see ads for these figures in the pages of White Dwarf, but had never seen one in the "flesh" until I got hold of this fellow on eBay. I rather like him. He works well enough with a modern Reaper equivalent (perhaps a larger female), I think.

Thanks, both!

Blackstone, I have recently acquired some of Essex's great scaley [sic] orcs: remember them?

Here's an old armoured orc. I've had him kicking around almost done for a while and decided to finish him off quickly tonight.

VERY WELL DONE! There is something very appealing & disturbing about the pale Orcs...love 'em.
