Thread: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    Re: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    Nice updates with all those warmachines. I particularly like the goblin diver about to be launched. The troll unit looks great so far, the smaller bodies could seem odd, but I think diversity is always better, and above all clever use of bits is always a good thing (no waste hence). I can't wait to see them painted, maybe it'll motivate me to do the same with my 3 plastic river trolls.

    Keep it up !!

    Cheers mate

    I agree about the diversity in the troll unit. I think it adds to the organic and vibrant look I want in all of my units. They`re basecoated now, colour scheme is decided upon and painting commences this evening.

    Will do

    Very good skin tones on your orcs, green without being flashy is a nice change form "the norm" (yeas, mine are flashy), good job on the chariots and Doom Diver, and the River Trolls look promising ...

    *subscribes*

    Can't wait to see where this goes ...

    Re: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    Thanks for the kind words

    My orKs are flashy green but I find that more natural since it`s stated in the fluff that they are an alien fungue based organism. OrCs in Fantasy is more humanoid based as I see it hence the more natural palette on the skin.

    Stay tuned, should be some painted trolls next

    Re: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    Oh boy..getting late! While the Trolls are off to dry and awaiting their date with the camera sometime this afternoon/evening (it`s a new day out there as well innit?) I just mocked up the manglers (troops choices, oh why are you eluding me!!):

    Had a manticore set lying around and after buying a second hand Daemon Prince for my Night Lords I didn`t really need anything other than the rider and the wings. Sooo I chopped up the main body, and with two heads and two tails in the kit it was easy. I will only have one mangler per base. The tail will touch the base while the mangler is airborne on both. The "handlers" will guide them with treats, namely the halfling and sheep you can see in the pile in front.

    These should be a good laugh and quick to finish after I`ve greystuffed them finished. Note that the greystuffing I`ve done so far on these are only to fill in the gaps and large holes. I will texture them more after the structure of the bodies are done.

    Now it`s off to bed, then I need to get me some supplies from my local hobby retailer before he close shop for the weekend. Oh and yes, pics of the trolls laters this weekend, I promise!

    PS: if that incoherent rambling is difficult to understand please understand that I`m very tired at the mo`

    Re: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    I had been hoping you would start a new log for me to follow

    Your Troll unit filler:

    1) The banner bearer is Niblit from the old Grom the Paunch chariot
    2) The Orc with whip is an OOOLD 40K runtherd... Was it for an Ork artillery piece perhaps? The Squig Catapult?
    3) That snotling... Dammit I don't know I deserve points for my memory of old school stuff though! Damn you for making me feel old

    By the way, I love your work so far - the infantry look very nice and I have high hopes for the Manglers. It's cool to see someone on a budget pull such unique stuff out of the bag!

    Re: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    Happy to oblige

    1) Correct!
    2) Correct but I`m also unsure on what piece it came from. My OOP ork bitz box doesn`t give any clues either..
    3) Haha It`s as far as I know from the old snotling bases that came in blitzers, but all of my snotlings are mixed so hard to get clues here as well..that is why I`m asking these questions, to fill the blanks

    Thank you, that means a whole lot for me mate

    Re: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    Very happy with this update, so on with the pics and then wall of text


    Rear rank:


    Front rank:


    There`s just so much going on in this unit I don`t know where to start. Like the former stone troll - turned river troll (first from the left, rear rank) on how he looks at the center, perhaps at the former leader of the mob (head on pole). Like how the troll in the center points excitedly at the yummy enemy probably scaring the mork out of the little gobbo holding the banner pole. How the psychotic orc in the centre is just looking at the enemy and screaming "COME ON THEN!". And how the former leader, now head-on-a-pole very likely is still alive (or it would be fun to think of it like that, bawling and growling). And not the least how well they all look together since I only could afford one box of the new trolls and had to use my own bitz boxes for the rest.

    For me at least this unit is diverse yet unified, bearing my "trademark" colours but also their own with the greenish skin. Which by the way I achieved with the ancient jade green, over to asuermen blue wash. Then the old-old scorpion green and finished with a brown wash and some touch-ups here and there.

    To finish off all of this text I would just like to mention that I`ve finally gotten my gears going on the remaining orc boys. Was at a friends place yesterday and I made great progress on the orcs. I expect to have them done sometime tomorrow if luck be.

    As always, c&c appreciated

    @ashagmorglum:
    Thank you! I will get back to them as soon as I`ve finished the orc boyz.

    Re: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    Finally, FINALLY! The boyz are done..
    Now I do love the boyz, but man they can be tiresome to paint.

    Here`s the fillers that complete the unit.

    Fillers on 25*50mm bases.


    Two on 50mm bases, and a single solo on 25mm.

    Overview picture of the action in the mob:


    Terrible picture I know but the best I could do this late. I`ll take some proper pics this weekend of this unit and the 1200 points I`ve completed so far

    C&C, yes please.

    Re: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    Haha great stuff!... must have been fun for you to create those unitfillers One could wonder though how he managed to get that spear through his head, with out it breaking entirely
    But ofc I can't see him from the front, so I don't know how mangled his face is!
    Rly great stuff.. inspires me to do some more fun/out of the box with my own orcs.

    Re: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    Cheers mate Yeah I just pretty much thought up some crazy stuff and went with it. For the one with the spear through his head, it`s his jaw his holding in his hand. Not very realistic, but a good laugh and gives the unit as a whole a lot of movement. If that`s understandable?

    Re: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    I think that the boss of that mob needs to instill some order before there aren't any boyz left for the enemy to kill. Nice unit, lots of things going on to keep it interesting. Good work.

    Re: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    Cheers lads If you see the placement of the blorc w/drum unit-filler you can see that he`s working his way towards the rowdy lads to bash some heads in. So taken care of

    Next up will be the manglers, which also will serve as my testers for my squig paintscheme. Looking forward to it

    Re: WAAAGH! Red Skullz marches again..

    Been distracted with some Kill Team in 40K. Was a lot of fun so I finally did something with the Dark Eldar stuff I have lying. Retro stuff for sure, but I like retro so fine by me.

    These are Trueborn nobles in a Venom out on the hunt. Just to fit in with the fluff in the campaign/story setting my gaming group play 40k in.

    Anyhoo as I like to stay OT, here`s the actual update, WiP on the Squig Herd:

    I`m using what I have, so the squig hoppers stays. I feel that they break up the monotony in the unit so cool with me. I plan on painting the herders in a slightly different colour scheme on their clothes than on the other gobbos I`ve painted. Just to illustrate the different tribes the WAAAGH consists of as I`ve mentioned earlier (or I think I`ve done it at least). The colour scheme on them that you see now is the previous scheme I had on my Night Goblin army.

    Oh yes, and it snows outside so no better pics of the boyz..

    And if anyone wonders, yes that pic is taken this evening, like 10 minutes ago!


    C&C as always appreciated
