Morkmillian Horde! Recently Restarted, had over 10yrs of GW so duster is out!!

[Morkmillian]

ty
funny you mention the fort.
was doing some work on it the other day.

ive been putting it of because i wasnt happy with hte tops of the walls and towers so ive been trying to come up with a solution.
so i got a load of coffee stirrers and began chopping,
they arnt tuck to the wall yet and i still need to carve the bricks into the wall but this is what ive come up with.




any suggestions would be great and im trying to not make this O&G but a more generic castle.

Can't wait for the completed grom, it looks like a solid start ^^

[Morkmillian]

ok so as usual this is going ery slowley - but a little bit done.
its all just WiP stuff tho - but need to keep this alive!

firstly 2 of oglah's are nearly done - mainly skin left to do.



only the skin eyes and teeth left on these guys - and i know i forot the mold lines on the bows!!!


some crew - mainly base coated.


gobbo boss.



finally stuck together and undercoated another load of goblins.
a lot of these were salvaged from an amazing deal i got for a bunch of wolf riders,
id wanted this for the wolfs and had to rip the gobbos off and detach the legs etc.



a few other things ive gotten undercoated or started base coating.



and almost finally - ive started making groms base.
its 6 cavelry greenstuffed and glued together.




i got grom 2nd hand and didnt realise the metal was slightly bent - which ment the bar didnt sit flat accros all the wolfs - it was really high on 1 end.
so this levels it out for all the wolfs aswell as the satisfaction of killing a humie.


and lastly just for show - i had 1 the orc i got a while back and had been trawling ebay for the gobbo and sham - and finally got them the other week!
just love all 3 of these models.




so not anythign finished but im trying to get stuff done.
i have a lot on the table but i figured basecoating is easy so i can do that if im not in the mood for the finer side of painting - which is what i think is slowing me down when i feel i cant be bothered to do that complex part etc.


anyway i think thats my longest post yet - hopfully more soon!

*edit* - how do you change the smaller writing under the main name of your forums thread on the army blog screen.
thanks in advance.

[Morkmillian]

ty noisy

and whats this!
2 updates in the same month?
im on a roll!!

finally have a unit of wolf riders finished,
very basicly painted but ive finally got a method im happy with for the wolfs.









oglah's are coming along - now that i know how im going to do the wolfs to this should get me more motivated!

[Morten C]

Beautiful wolf boys Morkmillian!

I also love that you have those old models from Hero quest: Lair of the orc warboss. Those are just so classy. Look forward to the paint on those ladz

[Morkmillian]

ty morton.

i know they are not pro standard etc but im over the moon with the actual wolfs.
as always i spend about a month just staring at the models deciding what colours will be best.

so its great to have a scheme im happy with means i can speed up my work and all those wolfs dont look so intimidating on the desk. - already 5 more wolfs halfway done.

and yea i dont know what it is but i just love all the models from the 90's
maybe its nostalgia.
but i just love the faces the most!

[Morkmillian]

oookay.

5 more wolfs done!



my gobbo sham / lord with wizards hat on wolf.


and my progress on oglahs.
now i acctually picked up a 10th oglah body for cheap,
so i now have 10 total.



i think ill be able to complete the back 5 sometime this week if i dont slack
the wolfs on green bases are my very old painted wolfs - will be getting redone


hopefully more soon!!!!

[Morkmillian]

okay -
long time since last post!
so i did finish these guys minus their shields a while ago but only finished the shields last week!
but may i present the first of 5 oglah khan's wolf boys.








pretty pleased with how they came out.

the 5 with teh command group are almost done but i still havnt done their wolfs.
i
i posted a lot more pics on the ccup2 thread but ill post a couple pics of the amazing unit i won in the ccup2!!!!!!!










i have a 1500 point battle coming up this sunday which these guys will make their first appearance in battle!!

plan to make sure i have the camera with my that day
so hopfully more to update on soon!!

[BorkBork]

The kahns boys look excellent. Am always a tad jealous at people who have them.

and good luck with the first ccup battle

[cb_rex]

I just had a look back through your entire blog, it has loads of interesting stuff, cool units, interesting conversions, terrain, etc.

Those wolf rider models are so cool, in fact the amount of common Gobbos in your army now is very impressive, it looks like you could run at least 1500pts of pure common Goblins.

Keep up the good work!

[Thitanium Prince]

The hobgobbos look awesome, like the community unit, that will be an impressive sight on the battlefield

[amplebob]

Yeah, you best win on sunday! Looking forward to seeing the unit in battle for sure.

Wolf boys look great.

[Morkmillian]

thanks for all the positive comments guys
is always really motivatiing.

i plan to post my list before the battle just to see what you guys think -
i was considering fitting as many common gobs in as i can but the person im playing against is a good player - so im going to have to pull everythign i can out against him i think

im not sure if he will come as empire, dogs of war or warriros of chaos. probally not warriors tho.

he usually fields a unit of 10 heavy cavelry and 2 - 3 units of fast cavelry.
1 - 2 units of xbowmen is expected.
as is 1 - 2 cannons.
if he is empire there will deffo be a volly gun to.

so any ideas would be great,

im currently thinking boosting the ccup unit up to 40.
takign 20 - 25 big uns savage or not.

and thena giant to draw fire away form them 2 units

any ideas would be great - lik ei said ill post a first draft of my list at some point
thanks again!

[Morkmillian]

okay first of - i posted the results of the battle with the ccup2's unit debut appearance in the CCUP2 thread.

couple things to update on.

ive finished the base for groms chariot and pretty much finished the chariot - just a ocuple details to pick out still.
painted up 3 wolfs and stuck it all together - just grom and is it niblet? i forget to paint up.








and i have painted up the 5 wolfs who's eads i had reangled.
im really pleased with how they have turned out.
i dont really green stuff very often so i was a little hesitent to doing so much but i turned out to really enjoy it.










the riders are very nearly finished so ill be updating again soon hopfully.
