Spencer aka Spencers Blog texted me the other week asking if I fancied going round him on my days off for a painting session, which I jumped at the chance, so in the space of two days I managed to get 19 spear armed orcs done and most of the black orcs including two leaders ( which I finished off this week), so this only leaves the spider riders, the chariot and a couple of leaders to sort out and we'll be there!
So the completed spear armed orcs,
The completed black orcs, I'm going to get a couple more boxes to fill these guys out to about 20/30 strong I've a feeling that I'll be shot at quite alot before getting into combat and with the new rules of the second rank fighting I might as well make full use of it ;)
And a quick shot of what I've done in the last 6 weeks, I've even
impressed myself with this lot depending how much I enjoy 8th Ed Fantasty I might break out the high elves that I started a while back!
But onto the actual army list for the Orcs & Goblins....

I'll need to pick up a box of night goblins, Orc boys to fill out the units, but I'm in two minds about the boar boys and black orcs...
so that little lot comes to 2900, I've a feeling that I'm going to need more core though as I've only spent 1210 points when it should be 1500 points for 50%? but we'll see once I get my hands on the rule book come Saturday, if that is the case I'll drop the black orcs to unit size 20 and the boar boys to unit size 10 that should free up some more points for some more core,
What is that on the Black Orc armor, something bronze-ish with a black/brown wash over it? It looks awesome.
ReplyDeletethe way that I did the armour was boltgun metal, then dwarf bronze on the edges to give it a rusty look then hit it with badbab black ink then grif sep ink and that was it really?
ReplyDeletebut I'm blad you like it I just kinda went with the flow on the day!
