I decided to start a thread for the various warbands i have for games like Song of Blades and Heroes, Dragon Rampant or Triumph, Tragedy and Trolls (my fantasy variant of Triumph and Tragedy).
The main problem most wargamers have is we start projects enthusiastically but often lose interest or move on to something else before we have enough painted miniatures for a game.
I get round this by only buying and painting about 10 or 15 figures first for small skirmish games like Song of Blades. If i am still enjoying it i expand the warband with variants to give me more possibilities in tactics (e.g. more miniatures with ranged weapons or cavalry) until i it reaches a size where with a few more miniatures i have enough for unit-sized skirmish games like Dragon Rampant or Saga.
This sometimes continues until i have enough miniatures for small army battles.

Anyway to start with i present my lesser greenskin warband.
It is a mix of older GW night goblins and gnoblars with some conversions. The squigs are sculpted out of greenstuff by me. (WIP on this thread here - http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=66934.0)

For one moment I thought that this was a thread about the 100 Kingdoms' skirmish game. A really nice game that would had deserved better fate, let me say.

Anyway, neat looking minis here. Full of character, love them all. Your squigs look awesome, both on sculpting and painting. Very well done.

Everything about these is superb. Both the modelling and painting. The scratch built squids are great and the choice of figures for the riders and their posing make for some great models. Love the scenery these have been photographed against.

What a great warband!

I like the moodiness and atmosphere your colour choices give them. Great pictures too.
The squigs (both sculpting and painting) are magnificent!

The terrain looks good as well. (where is that ruined church in the background from?
