Warhammer Renaissance armyproject 2024

Inspired, like many before us, by the White Dwarf articles series "A Tale of Four Gamers" (WD 218->);
a couple of Swedish Warhammer enthusiasts recently decided to make a small armychallenge for the coming year. Beginning January 2024, we will be introducing and presenting our armyprojects monthly.

The guidelines are as follows:

2000 points worth of army, for the fan-made Warhammer Renaissance ruleset, presented each month in batches of ~400 points.

We will each start the year by introducing our respective armyprojects and ideas.
The sixth and last month will be for finishing leftovers or extras, summarizing our efforts and presenting our finished armyprojects.

Part 1: Presenting the armies - Niklas Orcs & Goblins

Once upon a time, I owned a massive Orcs & Goblins army. It was easily over 3,000 points and had almost every kind of unit in it from the biggest Black Orcs to the tiniest Snotlings. 

Though the army was mostly fully painted, it never saw much action on the table, and as the years went by and I lost interested in the game, it only gathered dust in the glass IKEA display cabinet. Until finally before heading off to university I sold the entire army, and for a pittance at that. I’ve come to deeply regret that decision ever since my love for the hobby was reignited a few years ago. 

This challenge might be a kind of retribution for past regrets, and to finally have another painted O&G army in my collection again.

This new army of greenskins started out when I bought a job lot a few years ago. The hundreds of models in the lot mostly consisted of an Undead army which was mainly why I bought it, but it also contained loads of plastic monopose Skaven, Empire, Elves and of course Orcs and Goblins. Since then I’ve been slowly collecting pieces to add to the army. Not all of them are from 5th edition (for example, the giant is a later 6th edition model) and some of them are from other companies than GW, but I have tried to stick to the older models for the most part. 


As you can see, the army needs a lot of work, and I will need to strip the paint off of everything before I can even begin the challenge. Even so, I am determined to have a full 2,000 point army by the end of the challenge. The picture below was taken a few months ago, and I have since added a rock lobber, some spear chukkas, trolls and a pump wagon to the pile. I plan to add further regiments to the army down the line, mainly night goblins and squigs. I’m not overly concerned about list building, and am more focused on having a wide range of units and fun sculpts to paint.

For the first month I will be painting:

30 Common Goblins
1 Common Goblin Shaman
3 River Trolls

For roughly 400 points total.
