Practise HoD Game @ Manday

Got a practise 3000 pt game in today and Manday but it was pretty rushed so not enough pictures for one of my +Gommo's Itchy Nuisance bat reps :(

It's my Orcs (with Warboss/Wyvern/Spider build) taking on an Empire list with 2 cannons, hellblaster + stank! I didn't expect to have my Wyvern around for long, he had to stay tight to those trolls.

In the end, ended up 12.5-7.5 win, with my wyvern warboss surviving, but my Spider didn't (2 cannon shot death turn 1 :( )

But my 8 trolls spewed through a unit of 12 Reiksguard, GM/Runefang, BSB, Warrior priest unit! And had 4 trolls still standing. Go the vomit!!

Two weeks left till the tournament so should have my Wyvern finished by then. Skullmuncher is getting close

My horde of savages complete. ... enough for my list at least

Finally got through that savage orc horde. It was a tough slog but they turned out ok.

I'm going to also add another 6-7 as archers that I can replace the front rank with. Hopefully opponents are ok with that if I want to switch to arrer boyz for a game.

If you want to see how badly I use them though, check out my latest bat rep

Weekend Wrap-up #4

Well it's been a good few weeks again since my last update. !! Ooops.

Luckily I have been keeping busy, and plodding through painting more Orcs & Trolls. Four out of nine trolls are complete which is an entire front rank in this unit of 8. (With 1 remaining to act as single redirector)

The trolls are actually quite enjoyable to paint and the style I've gone with is fast yet looks effective.

The savage orcs on the other hand! Aargh, they're a pain to paint. So I've borrowed (stolen?) from Luke Davis and gone with remounting 3 Orcs to 50mm bases. This will cut down on having to paint 4 whole orcs, (Yay!) but makes the unit SO much easier to rank up.

2 of the bases done

Well over half a horde finished!!

I've have 2x50mm bases to still finish, with probably 2-3 individual orcs to flesh out the unit of 40. Once they're complete, along with last 5 trolls, I'll have a good size 2400/2500 list all ready for action.

Then, it will be on to adding some elements to make it a little 'fun'. My current purchases were basically the net list. So I'm looking at adding

• An Arachnarok. This thing looks too good not to paint and have. One thing I miss compared to my Empire, are some center piece items, and this is one of them. Also...
• 1-2 Wyverns. Of course they won't see action every game, but I want to have the option

Until next time...
