Ooorks innnn Spaaaace.

Who ever first thought about sticking Orcs or should I say Orks in space was a genius, not sure if Rogue Trader was the first some how I doubt it but who knows. Here are my RT orks, old, bad  paints but finding them in the cellar made me decide to snap them as they were with no improvements.

These are the first run of RT Orks before they got all fixated with Clans. Not that I have a problem with the clans and the plastic arm orcs of later RT, I have a bunch of them too. But I do love this incarnation, they are so piratical and brutal.

I think I painted these about the time the Iraq war started, the second one, I had some notion in my head about doing them as some sort of desert force form that.

More points for the first person to notice the 90's WD item in the shots.

I also have a load left to paint but maybe I'll update the others some time too.

Ashcans Great Horde.

 I was planning to sort through my O&G collection soon. I have a unit of 35 or so gobbos that are becoming a bit of a mill stone, I just can't summon the will to get them done to the standard I want them.

The I saw these two blog posts:

http://teasgettingcold.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/goblinoids-sir-thousands-of-em.html

http://warhammerforadults.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/realm-of-chaos-army-builder.html

And a plan was hatched. So the following list is made of models I actually own and only those rerleased for 3rd or earlier. Only about half are painted and less to a satisfactory level but this is for motivation. After getting into the high 9000's it became important to hit the 10000 mark so I did include skaven allies which I hadn't planned on doing.

So here it is Ashcans great horde.

Old lead Old PJs.

A few random pictures found on my hard drive. Mainly from a wood elf vs orc battle from many many moons ago. Anyway worth documenting if only to show that my painting has improved in ten odd years. I really must return to all of these some time.

A hodge podge collection of arrer boys. Must get Harboths painted up.

Marauder Orc regiment and some drastic plastic orcs.

Mainly marauder orc boys with a few citadel thrown in, I have more than enough to make several separate units of Marauder and citadel now.

A 90's wyvern attacks Skarloc's scouts in original 80's paint jobs. You can just see some warhammer regiments boys at the top. Nice out of focus photo.

I quite like this photo, wardancers including champions and Glam from Skarloc's unit.

As above from above.

Marauder Woodies.

 

Silver helms, showing how I take most of my photos.

Eagle Warriors, as bought off ebay.

 

Jaguar warriors as bought off ebay.

Dark Elf army.

I’m still putting the last finishing touches to the posting guide, background fluff and pregens for the EW so in the interest of keeping things moving here is a bit more old stuff. Dark Elves this time, I have a bout 5000pts in old money, 3000 painted and here is about 1500. Shame about the 6th ed plastic banners, I'll need to put them right soon.

Plastic cross bows.

Witch Elves by marauder.

Marauder warriors.

Marauder sorceress.

Marauder doom drakes.

Evil twin?

Wanted Bold Adventurers - Enemy Within ag’n

Handout shamelessly nicked from http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?497386-WFRP-2nd-Ed-The-Enemy-Within-A-New-Campaign

So we now have three players signed up as authors on the game blog with an invitation sent out to a fourth so I figure it will soon be time to start. If you’d like to play, and a few have expressed an interest but got no further, then please do send your blogger email address to me at chrisgillsonATyahooDOTcoDOTuk and I can send you an invite to be an author. I’ll be posting a list of the pregens up soon and you wouldn’t want to miss out on nabbing your favourite now would you. Lets say I'd like to see everyone who wants to play signed up by Wednesday next week, then after a few posts to explain the whole pbp on a blog format and some basic background we can start in earnest.

The Enemy Within

OK back from a wet holiday in the mountains and ready to start on The Enemy Within if people are still interested.

I have started a new blog: http://theernywithin.blogspot.co.uk/ but hope to restrict it to posting from just those of us who will be playing.  If you are still interested, or if anyone new is interested please do send your  Blogger email address to me at chrisgillsonATyahooDOTcoDOTuk (using Coopdevils cunning email disguise here). I can then send out invitations to have you as authors on the blog. I don't want it to get messy with non-game chat so if you do join the campaign please only post in game stuff as new posts any chat can be normal replies to posts.

Slaves to Darkness.

12, it's the magic number.

With the boss.

Daemonettes always say slaves to darkness to me more than any of the other miniatures in the whole late 80’s chaos range.  I picked these up in a grab bag from Luton GW in about ’91, got these, a Keeper of secrets, a few Slaaneshi champions 4 chaos dwarf swivel guns and some RT Chaos space marines all for about a tenner. It was almost the last bag and I can only assume it was considered old stock. Anyhow these were once painted very badly in coloured washes over white, then spent maybe the last six or seven years with bright Neon PJs (should I show pictures of these? No, no bad idea).

The back row.

The boss and his lady.

When my brother decided he wanted to play a few 4^th ed games it seamed appropriate to use these lasses that he had fought so many times in that edition but give them a new PJ all the same. I decided in the end to go with muted pastels of Slaves to Darkness for this repaint but sticking to just one colour.

I also took the opportunity to  tart up the Keeper of Secrets and the witch.
