Little Green Men finished!.

 Despite a  short delay due to a back injury ( I'm going to burn that blummin' Kama Sutra) I managed to finish off my little Orc army for "Fantasy Warriors"

I laid them out on the table in front of the Dwarves for a few photos.


I really enjoyed painting these little beggars.


To make leaders for the archers I just added a shield and a fancier bow.


I copied the bad moon image off the internet and made it into a flag.


Wolf Riders.


A bunch of Trolls may give the army some more hitting power.


And a catapult may add to the fun.

I had a lot of fun chopping bits off and gluing bits on from the spares box.


I didn't know what to use to make a musician and found it very amusing to stick a muckle big bell in his hand. I must get out more!.


I repainted my 1/72 scale Dark Alliance trolls with grey skin instead of the European skin colours and I think they look better.

The wee Dwarves better look out!.


The Dwarf Chieftain points the way to battle.

What an enjoyable project, not too ambitious and a lot of fun converting the figures. The models are mainly em4 with some Oathmark plastics for characters, Perry foot knights, Dark Alliance Trolls and a WizKids pre primed catapult.

Hopefully I'll get them into action in the next few days, bad back permitting.

  2. They look great, Paul! They really threw the gauntlet down parading around right in front of the Dwarves, didn't they?

  4. Great army and always nice to see such an impressive force that probably cost peanuts. Who needs GW.

    1. Thanks Mike, it came to about £50 for both armies which ain't bad.
