Part 7: Niklas' Orcs & Goblins - Wrap Up!

Well it took a while but I eventually painted up the "final" unit for my hodgepodge O&G army! Squigs and squig hunters for a total of 168 points.

And with that, the army is "complete". Or at least done for now. No doubt I will keep adding to this force for many years to come, there's just so much to collect for O&G and I can't just stop here. 

This challenge has been incredibly fun and I'm glad I could be a part of it. Thanks to everyone!

Part 6: Thomas’s Imperial ogres. The army is done!

The army is complete! Will it get any more units? Sure! When I get my hands on some ogres riding bears, then I’ll return!

I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Part 5: ScatteredFlesh's Beastmen

A lot has happened since my last post, both in terms of hobbying and this project in particular even if I'm quite late with my part 5. I mean, there's even a part 6 (Niklas amazingly colorful o&g's) out so I'm kind of ruining the chronological order of things in this (kind of half-dead?) blog. Sorry! But as I said, I have a lot to show you, so let's get into it.

I filled out my unit of monopose Gors from all the way back in Part 2 with a command squad. It consists of a Pestigor repurposed as a champion for the squad, as was befitting of his pose, and a kitbashed musician and bannerbearer. The banner design is stolen from an old woodcut piece, I just made the artistic decision to make the goat blue. This kind of sparked the idea that the Thorns of Chaos (as the warband is named) worship this blue goat figure. This kind of ties back to my minotaurs, who have painted themselves blue. The one with the shield is actually a blood bowl figure originally, with an added hand sculpted shield and a 3D-printed brutal weapon, with a hand from the classic plastic zombie kit attached.

The biggest time sink for this project so far has been my chariot I named 'The shit wagon', which is mostly made out of popsicle-sticks. The wheels are hand sculpted and blue-stuff copied, which was then repurposed as a shield for one of the minotaurs above.

And lastly, here's a 3D-print-kitbashed diorama that will serve as a unit filler of some kind. It has a beautiful story behind it. I mentioned my friend passing in my previous post, and Hampus was the leader of the Cheeky Badgers, a kitchen that served the hungry at collaborative events. Now he will serve the hungry on the battlefields of the Old World forever.
