Here it is, my second River Troll. You can find the first one here:Gallery360 spinThis one was painted a bit differently: I used airbrush a lot to create the skintone, then deepened the shadows here and there with some glazes. Scales were done using si…

Second River Troll WiP – almost there

Posted on March 16th, 2013 under , , , . Posted by

The River Troll is almost done, still need to paint the skin details, and I’m not sure about his head, I think it needs deeper shadows. But I’m kinda afraid that I will ruin the current paintjob if I try to paint them in… Oh well, it needs to be done…

Posted on March 11th, 2013 under , . Posted by

Anyone who’s tried using minimal sized units of Squig Herds with any success? For the same cost as a Mangler Squig, you can get 7 Squigs and 3 Herders. However, for an even cheaper cost, you can get 8 Herders and 2 Squigs.

Both units will serve a s…

Posted on March 4th, 2013 under , . Posted by

Following up on my previous post on What makes a good Hammer unit? I decided to list my top choices from the O&G army book. In the right player, almost anything that hits hard can function as a decent hammer unit, but I feel like the units below ar…

Today I finished painting Goblin Shaman plastic mini for Orcs & Goblins army from Warhammer Fantasy. This figure was very nice to paint, I’m fairly happy with the results, except maybe the wooden parts of his staff, but I didn’t have any more ideas…

A Cunning Scheme: Hammer Unit Qualifications

Posted on February 25th, 2013 under , . Posted by

The Hammer and Anvil strategy is a very old, yet highly successful military strategy going back to Alexander the Great (and probably even older than that). Small wonder then that it’s a popular strategy in Warhammer as well. But while it can be extre…

Learning to glaze, part 6: Greenskins!

Next object for me to experiment on is this little fellow (plastic Goblin Shaman from Games Workshop):It’s also my first time ever with an airbrush! But I only used it to prime the model. I primed it black and then sprayed white from an angle to create…

2600 pts O&G Fast, Wyvern & Boar Boyz combo

Posted on February 20th, 2013 under , . Posted by

I’ve been playing around with the idea of creating a very fast and hard-hitting army, with enough infantry backing it up to create an interesting synergy. The idea is to outdeploy my opponents and then stack one flank with a hard-hitting one-two punch …

Review: O&G Magic Items

Posted on February 18th, 2013 under , . Posted by

One of the reasonable yet frustrating points about the 8th edition army books has been the removal of all the fun and useful magic items from previous editions. That being said, the O&G book still contains some of them, and a few can actually b…

Posted on January 30th, 2013 under , . Posted by

The ETC team has released an early draft of the next ETC army rules. You can read them here. Although I’m no ETC player, this will impact my tournament experience as many of the organizers trust in the ETC rules for their own tournament rules.

A Cunning Scheme: Pre-battle strategy

Posted on January 26th, 2013 under , , . Posted by

I wanted to share a strategic move I performed while going up against a Beastmen army down at the gaming club last week. My opponent was running a Gor Horde of around 40 models, joined by a Beastlord, a Wargor BSB and a Great Bray-Shaman. They had the …

The glazing part on the river troll is almost done. The last thing I want to glaze in are a few bright highlights here and there and also a bit of toning down the white on scales, just to make them stand out less (and also to correct all the mistakes I…
