I’m So Excited!

I just got this big behemoth! Tamurkhan on his Toad Dragon!

Future Grandkid: Grandpa, what was it like when Obama was president?

Me: Aah, yes… the Homestuck President.

The Witchfate Tor! I painted this a long time ago around whenever it came out. It’s due for some touch ups! The “statues” are game pieces from a TSR Hobbies board game called “Dragonstrike” that I bought at a surplus store called Ax Man. Back then I was a smoker with a Redbull habit. Nothing some steady dry brushing and spot detailing couldn’t fix!

I also have the ruined version, the Dreadstone Blight, and another tower whose name escapes me. Not the Deathknell Watch, the other one with the asymmetrical construction that could double as an observatory. Let me know if you know the name!

Eeza Ugezod’s Mother Crushers. Black orc regiment of renown from the 1980’s! I’m pretty stoked to have and to have painted 25 of these guys!

Here is a scratch built hunters hall I made. I used the old styrofoam inserts that used to come in Warhammer sets as the basis for the second floor. That’s a real mouse pelt that some taxidermists use to practice. The rest is dowels, popsicle sticks, foam board… that kind of stuff.

The Rogue Idol of Gork and Mork!! This one is so much fun to paint! It’s got all these embossed details because it’s supposed to be like a cave painting come to life, but it’s taken the cave with it.

And there they are, all five of my big Orcs and Goblins Forge World units. I have the smaller night goblin and orc warboss kits as well. I’ve show those if you go back and look at my blog!

I’m glad I have all of them properly based now!

I love when Grimgor Ironhide checked the hubris of both Valten (and Karl Franz) and Archaon the Everchosen at the conclusion of the Storm of Chaos (global) campaign for Warhammer Fantasy Battles 6th Edition. Just smacked both of them around to prove a point and then left. What was that point? That both of them had made a terrible error not considering Grimgor and his ‘Ardboyz as the main threat.

Also Vardek Crom trying to take his army through Sylvania was equally a dumb idea.

Here are some very old paint jobs from when I played in that campaign!

Continuing on basing minis while I catch up on YouTube videos. Here’s the 6th edition WHFB Ruglud’s Armoured Orcs. A unit of 20 Marauder Minis (the GW sub company founded by Aly Morrison, Trish Carden and Bryan Ansel) Orcs plus a couple extra command units and Ludruk from the original Ruglud’s Armoured Orcs.

I finally finished my 3 units of 30 savage orcs! I was encouraged to reclaim my coffee table for when we have guests over soon. These guys are kinda finicky!
