Men In Boxes

And here are the Goblin hordes, made from 1/72 figures from Caesar Miniatures' fantasy line. Quiet a few of the models were sculkpted in the act of throwing some primitive kind of grenade. I wasn't too keen on that so I made some spears from wire and putty, cut off the hands with the grenades and made them into spearmen. All the stands though are classed as "hordes" for HotT. These guys are relatively shorter than the orcs seen in  the previous post. All of them, save for a few wearing steel caps, are almost naked with just some furskins as loincloths. And they dont have body hair. I ended up smearing outty on some just to avoid the all-bald look. Funnily enough though, the sculptor added prominent nipples. As in, eraser-tip, standing, erect, nipples. Serves them right for walking barechested in the cold:) Go figure. Flocking next:)

I've been painting at least an hour everyday before bed and here are the Orcs, ready for basing and flocking. First up are the wolf riders.  These are 1/72 Dasrk Aliance orcs converted to ride atop repurposed Mageknight wolves. The wolves have only received a primer and black wash. They still need some good color schemes. Next up are the warbands. All are Dark Alliance orcs, again in 1/72. They've been painted with acrylics and inks. Comments are welcome. More to come soon!

This is my very first Hordes of the Things army -- 20mm plastic Orcs and Goblins! The army composition is: Behemoth @4    x1    4AP Riders @2          x2    4AP Shooters @2      x2    4AP Warband @2      x4    8AP Hordes @1         x4    4AP                                  Total= 24AP The Goblin Hordes are converted Caesar Miniatures Goblins The Orc warbands are a mix from sets 1 and 2 of Orion's 1/72 Dark Alliance Orcs The orcish bowmen are again from Orion's Dark Alliance Orcs set 2 The wolves are converted from Mageknight and the riders are from Orion's Dark Alliance Orcs I still need a figure for my Behemoth "Troll" element but I'm sorely lacking a suitable figure. Here are my options: The first is a Mageknight figure named "Ironclad", a 28mm orc. The middle figure is a largish zombie, again from Mageknight Metals and the last is a "troll" from Caesar Miniatures. The first two figures look smallish on the 60mm x 8
