Okay so I figured I would start up a thread to show how the horde is progressing along. Still waiting for my massive pre-order to get here but in moveing some stuff around for the new baby girl to get here, in May, I happened across a treasure trove of Orcs, Black Orcs, NG and Trolls. I was besides myself so here is the count to the number and what I plan to do with them. I still havent exactly figured out how to post stuff on here(those that do please help the poor noob) but I will as soon as I can.
For now, here is the list of what I have or will have by the end of this week.
Goblins
120 Night Goblins.
3 Night Goblin Shamans
1 Night Goblin Warboss on Giant Squigg
1 Night Goblin Warboss with Great Weapon
1 Night Goblin BSB
10 Spider Riders (Might Convert these to NG riders)
3 Night Goblin Fantatics (I know! I need more)
10 Night Goblin Squig Hoppers
1 Arachnarok Spider Riders
3 Stone Trolls
10 Wolf Riders (Trying to trade these off but we will see)
Orcs
80 Orc Boys
30 Black Orcs
2 Orc Chariots
2 Orc Shaman (One on Foot, One on Boar)
1 Orc Warboss on Boar
1 Orc Warboss on Foot
1 Black Orc Warboss
3 River Trolls
Its a pretty good amount and I know there is still stuff I want to get. Doom Divers, more Fantatics, Rock Lobba, etc. But I sold off my Space Marine Deathwatch army so I was able to fund going fully fantasy. I dont want to get ahead of myself so I'll get to them in time. I'll keep you guys updated. Aloha!

Birthdays, work, sleepovers. I've basically had no time for anything but I did manage to come up with the idea that all my heroes and lords will have Double-Axes. Total throwback from my DnD days of half-Orcs. I always loved those things! I should have a guy done soon to post up.

All the rank and file are going to be goblin green with a quickshade dip. The characters I am going to use a neat trick a guy from out here taught me that he uses with his 40K orcs. He basecoats them in a dark yellow and uses the Citidel washes to layer up and it really does create an amazing effect. You can even varry the colors of yellow you use for differnt hues of skin. I swear as soon as I get some time I am going to work on stuff. I've been assembeling and trimming a lot though and I was curious about something though. I got the Orc and Gobline Regiment big box set and it came with goblin spider riders of corse. But the bases they came with are all scenic and interesting and there was a larger base that looked like it might have goe to something but fit nothing in the box. I never saw the bases for battle of scull pass but I was curious if they actually have their own bases and thats what I ended up with. I did manage to get my Orc BSB done out of bits and pieces of my black Orcs laying around. It truely is a HUGE BSB and it compleatly makes me smile because it feels very Orcy. I wanted it to feel like it was for the blorcs and the boyz too. I will absolutly post pictures of what I have at least assembled and the BSB on here tonight.  |

LOL! I'm at work right now but I promise I will get one on here today when I get home. The BSB and my Warboss with a double-axe. I really want to get the Warboss off Avatars of War. But, I just cant seem to find a few Goblin warbosses I really like..

Finished some unit fillers for my NG last night by "trying" to use the same thing Domus did for his Drow Dark Elf project but really just didnt come out as good as his. I am going to make a couple more so hopefully they will get better. I'll post pics as soon as I get home today.

7 is a good number. How'd you arrange them?
We have an on base crafts store I found. Pretty decent price.

You can always use the bit from the BfSP sprue. It's a NG hit by a dwarf cannon ball. I put him on two bases with some green stuff for him being ploughed through the dirt. I should have used a bigger base and made it longer. Maybe the 4 base size regimental one. Put a NG just kind of looking right behind it!  Oh, I wasn't done in this pic, but you get the idea. |
