I washed this with a mix of Biel Tan Green and Agrax Earthshade before building it back up by adding more and more Light Flesh (Scale 75) into the Warboss Green / Steel Legion Drab mix. I began with his skin, using a mix of Warboss Green and Steel Legion Drab. (The keen-eyed amongst you may remember seeing this guy on the blog before.)Īll of the paints have changed since I painted my Orc army (back in the Goblin Green days) so I just started afresh. So it was a nice return to form to paint a good ol' classic Orc, and what better Orc to paint than this Forgeworld offering: The Orc Warboss from the Orc Command. I have never really featured my old orcs on The Art of Caesura because this blog is very zen and is all about the present - models that I'm about to / in the process of / or have recently painted. ![]() It's funny to reflect on today, because I would consider the most popular modern incarnation of orcs (Ironjawz) to be one of the more homogenous armies now. Supplied with extra balls, team counters, a decal sheet covered in Orc symbols and 12 32mm Blood Bowl round bases, featuring holes to slot the ball into when your miniature has possession. ![]() Someone is getting flattened when Grashnak gets up to speed. This box contains 12 horrible plastic Orc Blood Bowl players 2 blitzers, 2 throwers, 2 Black Orc blockers and 6 linemen. This special rule helps him steamroll most muscly opponents, and even gives him a leg up against equally massive rivals. I think my main draw to Orcs and Goblins was the diversity of the army in a time when most armies consisted of ranks and ranks of very similar models (oooh this one has a spear.this one has a great sword.this one has a short sword), the Orcs and Goblins had it all: Giants, squigs, small sneaky goblins, big hulking orcs, awesomely armoured black orcs, zany doom divers, blue trolls.and the list goes on! The Great Black Bull is in his element charging across the pitch to deliver his signature twin-horned Blitz, leaving unfortunate players Gored by the Bull. My first army for Warhammer Fantasy was Orcs and Goblins and I have quite a collection of them (and many more still yet to be painted). I just really hope it doesn’t make me want to pick up 30k again!įorget one day tournaments and conventions for me a weekend in the headquarters of the hobby with friends is as good as it gets (unless I actually win a tournament and then that is awesome but I do like to use a good filthy list sometimes!).Anyway, even long term readers may be surprised to hear that my first love in miniatures is all things Greenskin. I really hope the day is more than just a big Forgeworld store and I will be turning up with an open mind to enjoy it all. At the very least I was hoping for something new for each system and not sure there is anything there I actually want to buy. At the moment there is 2 tanks, lots of Custodes a few random Blood Bowl bits and then an AoS Monster who isn’t new but has been made available again. I have no idea what to expect but have to confess I am a little underwhelmed by the products available to purchase there. Then on the Sunday is my first visit to any ‘event’ at Warhammer World at the Forgeworld Open Day. The plan is breakfast in Bugmans followed by visit to the Miniatures Hall (I will find that hidden model one day) and a day of gaming. However I am looking to get back into Age of Sigmar and I can’t stop looking at the Colossal Squig and starting a new Moonclan Army! I have owned this model before but it was sold when AoS launched as I moved my entire Orc & Goblin army on to other battlefields but it has always held a place in my heart because who doesn’t love squigs!? At the moment my big decision is just the colossal squig or the moonclan bundle which also includes the squig gobba and command set (although double the price). This time I am not looking at any Horus Heresy as I am staying away from that system until it moves to 8th edition rules. This is what the Hobby should be about and I am so looking forward to it taking my White Scars with me!Ī trip to Warhammer World is also never complete without taking advantage of the Forgeworld store without having to pay the ridiculous 12% postage charge (I do on purpose if ordering multiple low value items just order separate as the postage will cost them more than 12% and it is a silly system, we need free GW store deliveries but that is another topic for another time…). There is a group of 10 of us all meeting up in Warhammer World for a day of 40k gaming and the White Scars will be coming along J We have tables booked and a big 5 v 5 games of Imperium v Xenos arrange for the day, I cannot wait! This is what the Hobby is all about to me in terms of meeting up with friends and just gaming without any cares about broken lists, slow play at tournaments, painting scores, etc. I am so excited because this weekend I am having a full on geek time!
