Dustin's February Orcs (203 points)

February is always a busy month for me, so I'm glad I didn't have to mulligan. Instead, I focused on some command models for the orcs I painted last month and some fire support in the form of an LE22 Orc Bazooka Crew (they appeared in flyers for both Fantasy and Rogue Trader).

Sleazy Company, Band of Bovvers

Fun times with anachronisms.

Lvl 15 Orc Hero with Additional Hand Weapon, Heavy Armor -- 92 points
Standard Bearer and Musician for last month's Orc Halberdiers -- 46 points
Orc Bazooka Team -- 65 points

Onward to March!

Dustin's Orcs of the New Year (203 points)

And so it begins...

After a bit of a slow start, I was able to finish my first dozen orcs, along with a nasty ol' C20 marsh troll for good measure. These guys were pretty fun to paint; nice and simple, but suitably menacing when ranked up.

The troll was a real treat, though. I've already opined on the C20 trolls elsewhere, and this guy might be my favorite of that bunch. I love the little details like the fish poking out of his net, pure character without going to extremes.

12 Orc Boyz with Halberds, Shields, Heavy Armor -- 138 points

1 Marsh Troll -- 65 points

Onward to February!

Dustin's 'Orrible Orcs -- An Introduction

When I completed the OWAC II, I had a nice little army of Night Goblins. Now, those poxy little gobbos need some support (and possibly the lash for discipline) in the form of some dead 'ard, proper Orcs.

For OWAC III, I'll be selecting my force from the Orcs and Goblins army list found in Warhammer Armies. WHFB 3rd Edition is my primary ruleset at the moment, so it makes sense to the build the force to those guidelines. Granted, Armies does have some hefty minimums when you're selecting a horde of goblinoids (20 orc boyz, 20 arrer boyz, 20 gobbos, 20 stikkas), but I consider my Night Goblins to fulfill the compulsory goblin requirements.

The initial muster for the challenge.

Lvl 20 Orc Hero with Double-Handed Weapon, Heavy Armor -- 121 points
Lvl 10 Orc Hero with Bow, Shield, Light Armor -- 66 points
Lvl 10 Orc Hero with Additional Hand Weapon, Shield, Heavy Armor -- 66 points

19 Orc Boyz with Halberds, Shields, Heavy Armor, Standard, Musician -- 241.5 points
19 Arrer Boyz with Bows, Shields, Light Armor, Standard, Musician -- 220.5 points
12 Scabbies (Half-Orcs) with Shields, Light Armor, Standard, Musician --  104 points
1 Marsh Troll -- 65 points

Bolt Thrower with Orc crew -- 46.5 points
Orc Bazooka Team -- 65 points (bazooka 40 + two crew with light armor 25, per WHFB3)

Total = 1003.5 points, 60 models

'Ere we go!
