I just couldn’t leave the already build and clipped orcs without bases… also one of the boars had a terrible gap in the neck. Pried the head off and put it back on with a little bit of greenstuff. Also fixed one of the wheel centres while I was at it.

Also finished the weird tentAlso finished the weird tent

I needed to spread out the content of the Warhammer Fantasy box and count stuff. And of course, things are missing. I’m guessing I used one of the boars for my Snakebite Boarboys and some other bits. So I need:

  • 15 25mm square bases
  • 2 25×50 cavalry bases
  • 2 boars
  • 1 set of drums for an orc musician

If I can get a hold of those things I have enough minis for

  • two chariots
  • three mounted orcs (one champion)
  • two musicians
  • 30 boys with melee weapons
  • 31 orc archers
  • two to three standard bearers (depending on what’s left on the sprues)

So if you have a link to a shop where I can acquire said items (ebay Germany is a joke) I’d be happy. Don’t need to be GW originals (especially the bases) I’d be happy with “look the same”.

Also, there was this chunk of metal… that’s an ogre am I right? Would he be more likely be seen with an human imperial army or an orc horde?

I can't help it!

So now what?

Where to start with the cleaning? Stripping the GW BB? Building the WHFB Box? Completing the 40k choppa?

And yes, there is more in the closet… don’t make me open it again… I’m scared!

Well, this technically didn’t fall out but it sits in the back of my mind… ever since I’ve got it.

A box of Warhammer Fantasy Battle... was one box brand new... at some point got added the orc content of another box...A box of Warhammer Fantasy Battle... was one box brand new... at some point got added the orc content of another box...
And then there is this very polite chap taking of his hat... I think it's the only dwarf I have. Maybe @brennon or @avernos can tell me who he is.And then there is this very polite chap taking of his hat... I think it's the only dwarf I have. Maybe @brennon or @avernos can tell me who he is.

These I know. Classic Blood Bowl Line men, Black Orc Blockers, some goblins from WHFB, Blood Bowl and some 2nd edition 40k orcs… I do have a complete Orc, Goblin and snotling team but still I might paint the BB goblins to fit my goblin team…

Some “orcs” possibly for Blood Bowl with an extra head and some “grot on a stick” that may or may not come from the same company. I got these in a weird ebay bundle but I can’t tell where they are from. Any ideas?

Edit: thanks to user @scribbs we know the goblin is one ofthe “Set of 3 Goblins – RN Estudio

And I found the other orcs too. They are the 5 Linemen by RN Estudio

Now I know. And knowing is half the battle!
