Monk would be proud
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.
I can't help it!
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?
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!
Things that fell out #6
Well, this technically didn’t fall out but it sits in the back of my mind… ever since I’ve got it.
Things that fell out #5
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…
Things that fell out #4
Metal Blood Bowl… orcs? same bag again but don’t know what company they are from….
Edit: Looks like they are (from left to right)
Things that fell out #3
More random bits from the Blood Bowl bag from ebay… any idea that those minis are?
Things that fell out #2
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!
