    O&G Army - Part one - Da Boyz!

    Hi folks !! I hope you pardon me for the lack of blog updating… So the greens skins army grow-up quickly and the project is on a good way. I painted approximatively 230 models in 8 weeks, added to 60 chaps previously painted for other projects … I totalize a horde of around 300 miniatures. 
    For the moment, the army look like a classic Green skins Horde with Green/Brown/Grey mute colors but I will apply my special recipe based principally on homemade colourful shields and banners. Everything enrobed in the Chaos Marauder cards game sauce.


    Army background !

    It is the year 5513 (Dwarf Date) in the Old World. A massive Dwarf army from Caraz-a-Carak has destroyed dozens of Goblin bases in a heroic raid on the Mad Dog Pass. In response to this outrage, a massive Orc army has been assembled and it is now journeying north, towards the pass, from the southernmost parts of the World's Edge Mountains.
    The plan is to put the Dwarfs firmly back into their stunted place!


    However, approximately every 50 miles of walking is punctuated by some part of the bored army breaking into a fight. As this is an expected manifestation of Orc psychology, the Chaos leaders of the force allow these minor skirmishes to go on, as long as they do not seriously affect the strength of the army as a whole.
    Every tribes want it gets to fly its banner above all the other tribal flags (a position of great prestige)...at least until the next fight.





    Something screw up!


    Oi you...pig face! Wot you doin' wiv tha' fing?' snarled Thogg the Orc warrior.
    'I's stickin' me tribal standard up top so tha'we can all see it.' replied the aged Vandaal.


    ‘Who sez we all want ta see it in da first place,dung-feature?' Thogg grunted.
    Whilst still continuing to erect the crimson tribal pennant, the crusty old Orc replied, 'Da Clan Festerdoom is da most Orcs 'ere.'



    Tribal affinities often cut across regimental allegiance and indeed, as Vandaal said, many of the troops in the great army heading north, were connected to the Clan Festerdoom. 'Oh, an' 'ave you been countin' then?' 'Well...' Like most goblinoids, Vandaal had trouble counting up to any number which a part of his anatomy could not represent. Thogg continued; 'We Black Eyes outnumber you a zillion to one. Our flag'll be da one ta go up.' 'Over my mangy corpse.' 'Dat's easily dun.' 'Aggggggggghhhh!'




    Thogg wiped his jagged blade clean and began to design a makeshift banner for the Orcs of the Black Eye... over Vandaal's dead body. Within seconds the word spread throughout that entire section of the vast encamped army: 'Festerdooms is bein' insulted.' 'Vandaal's 'ad 'is bruggs cut off*.' 'It's a bloomin'

    Black Eye invasion.' 'Dems Festerbreaths 'ave declared war.'
    'ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK!'


    (Translator's note: Bruggs are a valued part of Orcish anatomy)

    4. Je ne comprends même pas comment tu peux en peindre autant en aussi peu de temps avec un rendu aussi bon o_O
      Hors sujet, mais le fond de ton décor pour les photos vient d'où ? Tu l'as peint ?

      1. Merci Jaeckel. Parfois c'est très motivant de peindre par lots de 10 figurines. Les résultats sont plus rapides.
        Les fonds sont issus du modélisme ferroviaire. A+ Nico

      3. La marque c'est "Peco" (Scenic Backgrounds or Backscenes) fait juste attention à l'echelle. A+ Nico.

    5. Beautiful army, so many things I like about this. The colors are great, and so is the selection of figures. I really like the way you painted the wolves, and the wyvern is amazing.

      1. Thank you (^_^) I collect this army and all these models since many many years. I was very inspired by the natural tons furs for the wolf and the boars.

    6. Is that a orc dog cart I see in amongst that army ? Also the colour choice for wyvern is very nice and completely unique well done.

      1. Hi Dazza! No it's a boar chariot (^_^) I'm pretty proud of my Viper Wyvern 😎😎

      2. When I say orc dog cart I'm referring to the rather rare orc version of the classic goblin battle chariot. Citadel released a flyer in 87 where they had parts to convert it from goblin to orc and one option where boars instead of wolfs. Here's link to flyer 5th one down.

      3. By this way I'm agree with you. Glorious WD flyer. It's an Orcish pimped Goblin chariot (^_^)

    10. Carrément génial, tu as super bien avancé en plus. Mais d'ou viennent les orques que l'on aperçoit sur la photo à côté du pavé de snotlings ?

      1. Salut et merci Julien :) A coté du pavé de Snotling ceux sont des Orques Noirs de chez Marauders Miniatures et des War Orcs de chez Warmongers Miniatures. Je vais compléter les rangs avec uniquement avec ces derniers pour obtenir un pavé de 16/20 modèles. Il sont vraiment marrants. Ils sont l'œuvre du Goblin master (of course!). A plus Julien.
