DragonRune Miniatures - Badlands Ogres

 

The 1st batch of Badlands Ogres done for my Greenskin army, as with the the rest they are painted quickly with the goal to getting the army playable.

4 more left to do including the command section, but I may take a break and work on something else for the army.

That's it, just a quicky...

TTFN

Avatars of War - Orc Warlord and BSB (Conversion)

 

Quick post showing off my latest Orcs done, both are from AoW and are cast resin.

Very much in the style of my other Orcs. The BSB is converted from the Orc Pitfighter using parts I had laying around (Hey this is me after all, Mr Budget after all).

Still far too much left to finish from the stash, plus I still need to hunt down some more DragonRune bits, so if you have any in the stash for sale then let me know.

TTFN.

DragonRune Miniatures - Greenskin Army Project

 

Hello old lead lickers, this is going to be a bit of a photo dump of my current project, it's more just place to keep all my current photos but you never know you many enjoy having a look at what I'm upto, 

Anyhoo, here's bit of a blurb of who or what DragonRune is (From the Lostminiwiki)

DragonRune was a manufacturer based in Barcelona, Spain. The company was founded by Felix Paniagua around 2000. The original company closed down in early 2003 and was purchased by the US based company The Tin Dictator (April 2003). The range would continue to expand under the new ownership. 

In 2008, The Tin Dictator ceased retail operations and the DragonRune range was sold to Armorcast. Sculptors: Felix Paniagua (Orcs and Ogres), Raúl Valiente (Goblins), Sylvain Quirion (Komodons).

This is my progress so far, you may have noticed that it's not all pure DragonRune and that it includes Avatars of War & Citadel parts, that's because this AoW is owned by Felix who was the owner of DragonRune so the Greenskins match well and the citadel parts are just to add some interesting touches and conversions.

Don't expect an update on here anytime soon but you can follow me on Reddit where I post pictures often but it's alot of MESBG and Beer.

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.18 - Da Royal Court Completed.

Bit of a bonus Bloggy post today as I've stumbled across my old Foundry Orc Warband while having a tidy up this morning.

Sadly they haven't been used in anger in many a moon which is a real shame as I quite like the ladz. 

Bring Out Your Lead 2016 - The Aftermath Pt.3: Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers

Right-o the final BOYL16 Blog post from me and this one is the conclusion to the To4OG series .

Those taking part were:

James author of Realm of Chaos 80's

Steve author of Eldritch Epistles

Paul author of The Black Castle

and Myself.

Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers - Pt.10: 20 Half Orcs

So my counts this is my final To4OG's post as these takes me up too 1000pts .

Note I missed posting a month due to camera problems, but I still painted up a Hobgoblin Battle Standard in that month which hasn't yet been shown but I'm saving him for next month as part of a full army shot.

Right this month I repainted my Half Orcs clothes and cloaks which I first painted for Orctober 2013.

Much happier with them now.

Just need to finish a movement tray and I'm calling it a day.

Boy going for a horde army for To4OG wasn't my cleaverest move hehe

Anyway Ta Ta for now!

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.15 Barny Widdleslop, Slapdud the Lame & Furrozek Filthfingers

As promised from Pt.14 I've been adding to the Da Royal Court for use in Chicoheim™ (Either Mordheim or Frostgrave).

So today is 4 new members:

Barny Widdleslop, Slapdud the Lame, Furrozek Filthfingers & a Handmaiden

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.14 Wanger Rumblestump the Chief Jester & Ozzy the Bateater

So it's been awhile since I've done anything for my Mordheim/Chicoheim™ Orcs aka ''Da Royal Court''.

But like most (Read: all) of my projects they are never really finished or put to bed.

Yesterday while looking though the lovely updated Warmonger Miniatures I got the urge to paint up some more of the stunning Kev Adams Greenskins.

For those that don't know Warmonger is an extension of Foundry Miniatures where all their stunning (Sometimes bloody expensive) Fantasy range now lives.

Warmastering

'Ello my OoaB readers I have some goodies (Baddies?) to show you today.

If you remember from Back to War..master? Blog post I'm back working on my 10mm and despite the problems with my eyes I'm rather enjoying..

Well ok maybe not the bloody basing which is a pig even with using texture paint.

Well thats enough prattle it's time for pictures of toys!

YAY!

Back to War.. master?

So last Orctober I started up a LotR themed Orc army and other then a couple of games they saw little action.

I think I lost interest dew to not having much selection to choose from and despite ordering a few more bits they came too late and the bug was gone to another project.

Well all I can say there is nothing like losing your job combined with a upcoming game to give the spark back.

So the last few days I've painted up a few units and tidied up some others, plus I cleaned and prepped a few more units ready for the paint brush.

Warmaster Orc Reinforcements

Well there's been a real lack of Blogs here ain't there?

Well that's all down to work and a increased workload (Still I've had a pay raise already which helps) but I haven't been idle on the hobby front with the postman still bringing me little packages of goodness and gaming once a week.

I've also had some painting time which I've been building up a Kings of War Varangur (Chaos for those in the WhFB frame of mind) force from Grenadier and Ral Partha figures.

But more about those soon :)

Anyway my Warmaster Orc force has gained some reinforcements from no less then 3 separate companies.

Warmaster Battle Report: Orcs of the White Hand Vs Dwarves of the Mountains

Together, my lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle-earth. The old world will burn in the fires of industry. 

Forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the Orc. 

So last night as a rather busy Watford Wargaming Federation I had my first game of Warmaster ever!

My long suffering opponent was also playing his first game and came armed with little Dwarven Gits.

Anyway here's some pictures of our game.

Orctober 2015 Pt.4 - Whom do you serve?

Whelp, Orctober is coming to the end and I've completed my goal of having 1k Warmaster Orcs painted (Not a legal list but as this is part of a greater whole it matters little).

Orctober 2015 Pt.3 - Looks like meat's back on the menu boys!

As promised a update of my Warmaster LotR Orc army, it's slow going but I'm rather enjoying seeing it build up. 

Plus as I have so many units I can jump from one to another if a unit get boring or the colour starts to hurt my wee eyes, so I'm much further along then the finished picture look as I have 4/5 WIP units as well :)

Orctober 2015 Pt.2 - The Union of the Two Towers

The world is changing. Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard and Mordor? 

To stand against the might of Sauron and Saruman and the union of the two towers? 

Together, Lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle-Earth. The old world will burn in the fires of industry. 

The forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machinery of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the Orc. 

We have only to remove those who oppose us.

So dispite a bone crushing week of work and the joy of a new (Evil) furball I've made good progress on my Warmaster LotR themed Orc army.

Orctober 2015 Pt.1 - Mordor Marches!

Now as I'm sure we all know Erny from the self titled Erny's Place runs the Oldhammer version of Orctober every year.

Now this year I was going to sit it out as I'm quite burned out on Greenskins as I'm doing a Hobgoblin force for Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers & my Mordheim Orc Royal Court.

But as my treat for starting my new job I ordered some 10mm Orcs from Copplestone Castings and they turned up less then 24 hours after ordering woot!

Now I only done a small order but enough to get started on for the time being.

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.13 Orc Warband and Scenery completed

'Ello my OoaB Readers!

Enjoying the Rugby World Cup?

I am!

Anyway in the last post I was asked to do a shot of all the finished Mordheim scenery together so far, so off I trucked to my local gaming Club tonight and took a few shots.

Now as you can see, there's not much yet but it's slowly building up.

The Orc Warband so far

Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers - Pt.4 - Cavalcade Greenskins

So following on from the last To4OG post about Tales of the Dragon Kings range by Blackhat I kept looking for more alternatives supplement my Citadel Hobgoblins.

And I came upon Cavalcade Wargames Armies of the East owned and run by Forlorn Hope Games which long time readers of OoaB should know that I'm a massive fan off mostly because they stock the wonderful Ex-Grenadier range.

So what goodies do they have to offer?

Samurai Greenskins

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.7 - Orc Queen

So who says there isn't many realistic female figures in Wargaming?

Well this one sure enough looks like my Wife on that special time of the month,

Khorne cares not where the blood flows indeed...

Anyway I bring forth the Orc Queen Vict-Orca

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.5 - The first battle

So Wednesday night saw myself play the first game of Mordheim in around 15 years.. 

Oi I'm that old honest!

Heh anyway here's a few select pictures for your enjoyment.
