We still have the following:

Tale of 4 Oldhammers - The City of the Lead Pt.1 - Gnolls

This is Fred, he likes long walks and eating your face.

So welcome back to the To4OG series, it's now the 2nd year so time for some changes!

We still have the following:

James author of Realm of Chaos 80's

Steve author of Eldritch Epistles

Paul author of The Black Castle

and Myself.

As you know the last one we done was for WhFB3 and 100pts per month, this time it's Mordheim and only a single per month (Totalling 12 figures that have a combined cost of 500gc).

So after throwing a few ideas around from Skaven to Araby I've finally settled on my Warband of choice..

Yep

You already knew this from the title

GNOLL'S

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!

and Myself.

Wow Pt.9 already, times going by fast and I'm now almost done with this army (Woot?)

So today I have just 1 figure a Lvl 15 Goblin Shaman.

Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers - Pt.8 - Hobgoblin/Goblin Chariot

So arhhh back to whole Blogging wotsit then!

2 whole posts this month and it's a far cry from 1 every few days, but have no fear I'll try to update more often.

Anyway on too the Blog post!

Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers.

Those taking part are:

James author of Realm of Chaos 80's

Steve author of Eldritch Epistles

Paul author of The Black Hole

And of course myself.

So the idea being is paint a 1000pts in 12 months.

Anyway here's this months entry:

Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers - Pt.7 - Goblins

So as you may or may not know (If you are living under a rock) that myself, Steve, Paul & Ringo.. sorry James are all taking part in the Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers.

Now I been lax dew to work and personal life kicking me in the balls and taking away my painting time.

Anyway this month I have semi-cheated and repainted a Goblin unit, each Goblin had his skin repainted to look less scruffy and more in keeping with my Hobgoblins.

Now this may sound easy but on a unit this size it took alot of man hours.

Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers - Pt.6 - Hobgoblin Army

'Ello my sexy and lovable readers of OoaB!

To refresh your memory the 4 of us (James from Realm of Chaos 80's, Steve from Eldritch Epistles & The Warlord named as Paul from The Blackhole) are all taking part in a Oldhammer version of the iconic Tales of 4 Gamers.

The end reasult will be a 4 way Battle Royal at Bring Out Your Lead 2016.

This is now my 3 months instalment (I'm working one month ahead of everyone else at current).

So this is my complete force so far around 300-350 points (Yup Hobbos are cheap).

Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers - Pt.5 - Hobgoblin Rōnin on Temple Lion

So how are we doing today my fine readers of OoaB!

Well England lost their Rubgy game last night.. silly buggers!

But even that news hasn't dampened out my shine today as tomorrow I start my new job (I was at current a carer for my Wife, but she is back working herself now) so I'm back into the workforce and earning a couple of quid a month.

Now that might mean a reduced post output from me while I get used to working again but I don't forsee it being too bad to keep the painting and hobby running at full force.

Anyway on a related note this post is a tad early being next months To4G entry but I got it finished while I knew I had the time spare.

So I bring forth!!

Hobgoblin Rōnin on Temple Lion

Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers - Pt.3 - Tales of the Dragon Kings

So what's all this about I hear you proclaim!?!

Well as we all know by now I'm taking part in the Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers and I'm building up a Hobgoblin force (Or you should do, or why would you be hear).

Now do to the force being a Allied List they never had many options and they are rather a pain to get from Ebay and various trade sites/forums/pages.

So I started looking elsewhere for options and after seeing this POST by the Oldhammer favourite Goblin Lee about a Chaos Nippon force which uses Black Hat Miniatures Tales of the Dragon Kings range and thought with the odd weapon swap or head chop they'll add some flavour quite nicely.

Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers - Pt.2 The first 100pts

Well as you no doubt know from this POST that myself along with James, Paul & Steve are doing the Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers.

For my force I went with Hobgoblins, sadly the list in Warhammer Armies happens to just be a allied list so I have 6 options total to choose from (General, Battle Standard, Shaman, Hobgoblins, Elite Hobgoblins and Hobhounds).

Now feck that for limited choice, even at 1000pts that'll be a dull ol' force to say the least.

So I need to expand my options, so flicking though the 3rd Ed rulebook (After asking where the rules were from a fellow To4G) I saw the rules and points cost for the Rocket Launcher (50pts) so adding the cost of 3 Hobgoblin crew it comes to 65pts.. 

Bargain!

Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers - Pt.1

So what's all this then?

Well,

Just before this years BOYL a discussion took place between a few of us on the Ol' Bookface that we should do a Tale of 4 Oldhammer Gamers and with a set goal of gaming at the end of it in mind.

Those taking part along with myself are:

James author of Realm of Chaos 80's

Steve author of Eldritch Epistles

Paul author of The Black Hole

So with that sorted (Well almost Paul has yet to confirm he's still up for it) we came up with the idea of making a 1000pts WhFB3 force to have a 4-way game with at BOYL16.

My first idea was to do a Nippon and a quick look in my lead mountain turned up a dozen or so figures I could get cracking on..

Then I saw the box labelled ''Hobgoblins''

So I opened it..
