whaaagh Gazgar, vidrians O&G

[vidrian]

Hey guys, it's been a while since the last update, but i have been working on the army, the 60 gobbo's are almost finished and the first converted chariot/ lord transport is almost done converting.

how ever there is another project i started working on this week.... an Orc mordheim band.

i once got one of those old ugly trolls from a friend of mine and figured i might aswell put it to use and start a mordheim gang around it.

This beeing the original model.

and this beeing what i converted him into:


i'm no king with greenstuff so i try to do everything with plasticard whichs works pretty damn well for me.

i'll post it again when it's painted, and i will probably post some pictures of the converted chariot soon!

tell me what you think.

I'd like to thank everybody for their kind reply's, i'm not the most active member on this forum, but every once in a while i'll post something cool just to hear what you guys think about it.

so for the next "something cool" i present to you my O&G mordheim warband. we started the campain a few days ago, but since we don't have much spare time to play these games i'm sure the party will be painted before the next game

my idea was to make a mordheim detachment for my O&G army, and thus they will have about the same colour sceme (a bit more detailed) meaning i can use them in my army when i play FB or i can use my FB orcs as proxy's while i'm converting the actual mordheim model.

so here they are:
first off some goblins with bows, these little runts keep the enemy from shooting my orcs. some small conversions with backpacks, extra knifes and whatnot.

Big'uns, badass heroes is what they are, in a few games they will be kitted out with all kinds of exotic wargear, but for now an axe and dagger will have to do.

the shaman! he already killed 3 guys in 1 game (i kinda massacred him though) and i just love this model (which i purchased from ebay a few weeks ago), so no conversions here.

the warboss! this guy is a straight A killer, so i needed a model that looked the part...and to be honest, FB O&G don't really have a real badass model, so i got one from the 40k orks...can you see how HUGE it is? it's almost as big as my troll! converted his axe from some parts, and scratchbuilded the sword. now that is a badass model.

and offcourse a warband picture with the whole started warband in it. it's a small warband because of the troll but that thing just crushes everything it meets. And it never get's killed!


so that's the gang up untill now!

The next update will contain some new units for my big whaagh, comming up:
-painted chariot and chariot warboss
-80 goblins painted!
-Black orc bsb fully painted ( finnaly! )
-3 more fanatics painted!

Vid. here with another update!

It took me forever to finish painting my orc big boss and orc BSB, not because they where hard to paint, but because i had alot of side projects running in between.
But they are finnaly finished and i'm proud to present them:

the Orc big boss on a boar:


no real conversions here, just some minor kitbashing and an emperial butt-plate

and the BSB:



this guys has been converted, i didn't like the sideswinging banner ( seemed like a **** to rank and it just looks weird the way he's holding it..) so some cutting and bashing later and it was standing upright. i also made some extra spikes with plastic-card on the shoulderpad and on the sword.

I know some of you don't like the bright sceme so you will hate the banner, but it sure looks bitchin on the battlefield and really catches the eyes of bystanders.

tell me what you think and stay tuned!

ps. next up is the chariot with detacheble orc big boss!

Damn, how come I've been missing this thread so far? Everything's looking really good, I like how your rich colours work together.

Have a rep cookie!

Plus, kudos on that BSB, really well painted and also it makes me kinda laugh because of the pattern it has on the flag. I want a pijama like that someday!

Cheers,
LS

Hehe alot of people seem to over this thread because it's not very active, but trust me, this bright army on the table top is impossible to overlook

The mordheim campain has been underway for a few months with maybe 2 games a month so it's not moving fast, but my gang has made progress and is alot more specialised now. For all you mordheim player out there ( yes i know nobody plays the game anymore but i can hope can't i?) here's the list of my warband:

-Orc Boss
-2 Orc biguns- both thoughness 5 and resilient now
-shaman
-Orc boy hero with 2 handed axe, 2 attacks and strongman skill
-Orc boy hero with crossboy

-1 troll
-4 orc boyz with axe and dagger
-2 orc boyz with halberds
-2 orc boys with bows
-the goblins that where in the gang either got killed, dismissed or eaten by the troll...not a good day to be a goblin.

so here are some pictures: mind though, many of the painted models still need a dullcoat before their finished, so don't mind the shinyness


The painted troll. He is not as bright as all the other orcs who are just as fibrant as my O&G army. I had really trouble figuring out how to paint him, but the darker sceme isn't tobad, i just wish i had some more bright detail on him.



The Orc boyz with axe and shield, these guys are amazing in the campaign, though and still pretty cheap, right now their the ones that shield my heroes from harm. As you guys can see all of them have gear and loot strapped to them, i imagine them going through the city taking with them what they want to sell or use. their not very converted, but a lot of kit bashing and swapping did make them a lot more personal.


These are the newly created halberdiers, the hencemen group got an extra attack on their profile and we have changed the mordheim rules a bit to make 2handed weapons a better option, and i went for it. although the blades aren't very clear now that they are still white so you guys will have to wait for when they're painted.

The rest of the warband will be in the next post!

Aaaaand we're back

next up:
HEROES!



From left to right: The Shaman, Orc boss, big'un, big'un and the beserker. Apart from the shaman these are pretty heavy conversions, bot the big'uns are made from a combination of black orc and normal orc parts making them look a bit bigger and more badass. the Beserker has the arms from the boar chariot set (i was very glad i found those) and the axe is also from the black-orc set. all of them have been doing amezing in the campain, with T5-T6 they're almost impossible to wound and they know it!



Now this guy is a heavy conversion, this is the crossbow hero i was talking about with loader goblin on his back. the Xbow is completely build from scratch since all the crossbow parts i could find where either to small or not very orky. the goblin is standing on a small platform with bolt quivers on both sides.


And finally the last 2 henchmen: arrer boyz. even though shooting is very underpowered in mordheim, it's still handy to have at least a few archers in the warband, and these models are just very cool so i had to use them.

That's it! i'll post a total warband picture ones they're a bit more painted and all so that might take a while.
Tomorrow i have another big game coming so i wonder how they will perform tomorrow.

Tell me what you think and ask anything you like for i am happy to awnser.
Stay tuned!

Me likes them a lot! Very very bright and you gave them a unique feel with all the conversions (which are brilliant!). Plus, kudos on using that oldschool Shaman model: probably one of the best OnG models ever, or at least ranks in my top 3. Have some rep, will you

Cheers,
LS

Alright guys! i've painted a bit more, made some pictures, and decide that it is time to introduce the band properly.

Over the next few weeks I will post pictures of the newest painted models with a short description of their life in mordheim up until that moment.

First up! a full warband shot with the painting progress so far:

How ever, since we decided to reduce the max member amount of my Orc warband back to 15 the goblins are not fighting anymore.
If you look closely you can see that there are 3 models who still need an undercoat, and 3 models in the final stage of painting: the warboss in the middle, and the 2 big'uns on each side of the troll. other then that the rest is painted and protected!

Tomorrow i'll introduce the first few henchmen and the beserker, stay tuned!

They look great. I like the skin tone, it is very bright. The purple works really well with the bright green skin. The bases look pretty good.

Thanks for the reply Kuffy

It's time for another update!

I've been modelling to reinforce my orc warband, after last game i was able to spend my gold on gear and weapons and have made a henchmen group with light armour, shields and spears, my interceptors


since my one of my halbediers already looked more like a spearmen then a halbedier anyway, i decided to put those 2 together and make another halbedier model:

so right now i have 4 henchmen orc groups: halbediers, spearorcs, arrer boyz and axe and dagger boyz

but one orc also got promoted to a hero after the last game, thus Borak was created:


He's already got S4 and is walking around with 2 maces ( well 1 mace and a metal fist which works about the same) I wonder how he is going to be ingame

On top of this progress i also came up with an idea to incorporate my mordheim gang in my orc&goblins army. I am planning on building a special movement tray for these baby's ( all of them) where they actually will as "rank and file" and making them count as big'uns with 2 hand weapons. the Orc boss and unit champion, borak as musician ( beating on his keg that is) and some model as banner carrier...but i'm not sure how to use a banner in mordheim, but i'll figure something out once i need to make another hero ( which will happen for sure). The idea of the toof digga's comming out of mordheim loaded and experienced to join the fray of Waaagh Gazgar is just to good to pass up on!

stay tuned and i'll keep updating!
