Orcs from the Orcs Lair Mark Backhouse (30 points)

 A fairly mundane posting I’m afraid but I’ve got a more exciting one next. My Analogue Painting Challenge seems to be in fits and starts. Luckily I have been painting, but the cunning nature of the dungeon means I’m saving some of my figures for later chambers of the maze!

Up next for the Orc’s Lair is a pair of old Warhammer Fantasy Regiments Orcs. I did a few of these last challenge and still had a few kicking around that needed a bit of love. Luckily you can never have too many orca so a couple more will help provide another pair of arrow magnets for my friends High Elves to target.

These funny chaps are beautifully simple plastic sculpts. I fell in love with them when WFB 3rd edition came out in about 1987 aged 9.

The 3D shields were a nice feature. The classic grinning moon has become a key feature of more recent Goblin army versions. Back in 1987 these must have been one of the first plastic shields with an embossed design. 

So a very simple 2 x 28mm figure @5 each = 10 points

Mission completed = 20 points

Total = 30 points

From KyleC - Orcs Pit - Goblin Force - 125 pts

 

Chugging along the Dungeon here, the mighty adventurers come across a mighty warband of Goblins blocking their way! Oh Noes! 

The Orcs Pit seems to have run out of Orcs, however the Gobbos were more than happy to fill in while they were away!

First up being the scouting party of 4 wolf riders... now these are equal opportunity wolf riders as these Goblins believe in equality. See 2 of the wolves had mishaps on the printers, but instead of tossing them aside like last nights stew.. they kept them for the forces and they became stronger for it!

One having a cleft lip as part of his mouth didn't print out, and another with part of his fur being cut making it flap in the wind while they ride. So they painted the flap yellow.. painted his face orange a bit.. and call him Don.. and ride that special little wolf right into battle even if he probably also suffers from bone spurs or something.. 

If the adventurers can get past the scouts, then they have to deal with the happy, gleeful archers! Well 2 out of 3 are gleeful, the third is just trying to do his job.. 

Beyond the archers are the front line warriors.. with their spears at the ready and each pointing to where they think the Adventurers are coming from... obviously someone didn't go to Durham castle for new specs else they would all be pointing in the same direction.. But the champion with his sword and shield is sure ready!

But if the adventures can get past all of those magnificant Goblin troops... then they have to contend with the commands! Both the captains here ready to take the adventuerers on.. with the banner waver showing support.. and the Shaman be very giddy to see if his magics work properly this time!

All in we have 13 on foot for 65 pts, 4 mounted for 40 pts, and 20 for the Chamber giving 125 pts here! And more squirrels! This is what... 9 now??? I should really begin to focus or something eh? All models were printed using the Warploque Digital files. 

Next up is a teleport to the tomb.. so a suitable tribute to Sarah must be found..
