This post will show the build of my new Oldhammer – Orc and Goblin army
This all started recently when I traded off some unwanted LOTR figures – and most of what is listed below is what I got in exchange – very happy with the outcome.
I will post progressive photos of the army as it develops – from collection to painting to hopefully a fully painted and playable army when finished – thinking 2000 - 3000 points when finished.
If anybody has any figures they would like to donate to assist complete the army that would be greatly appreciated – but in reality if you have figures that would suit – pm me – I have 15+ years of figures collected – from various brands and games systems - and I will post on the Private Sale/Trade page when I get organised .
Happy for ideas on what I should add – started a sort of “want list” at the bottom – thoughts on this too appreciated.
The Army so far
Night Goblins
28 Night Goblin Archers
9 Night Goblin Hand Weapons
7 Night Goblin Clubbers
7 Night Goblin Netters
7 Night Goblin Command – 2 Std, 2 Musc, 3Bosses
Total Night Goblins 58
2 Squig riders
2 Squig herders teams ( older two goblin joined ones)
6 Squigs
Forest Goblins
35 Forest Goblins Hand Weapons
9 Forest Goblins Hand Spear
8 Forest Goblins Hand Archers
8 Forest Goblins Command 4 Std, 2 Musc, 2 Bosses
Total Forest Goblins 52
Savage Orcs (the old Skinny ones)
5 x Savage Orc Boar Boys 3 spear, 1 Std, 1 Boss – do I need a musician ?
1 x Savage orc Shaman foot ( one with staff in both hands above head)
1 Savage Orc Archer ( very Lonely)
1 Savage Orc Spear ( also very Lonely)
1 Savage Orc Hand Weapon ( even more Lonely)
Orcs
3 x Orc Boys ( blister) - the 90’s ones
Grotfang Orc Warlord on Boar
Black Orcs
1 Black Orc 2 Hand Weapons – on a round base for SBH – but if he gets some mates will be rebased in a blink
– love the old style ones of these !
Warmanchines
2 x Orc Man-Mangler ( Rock lobber) - might trade one of for something of similar interest.
Snotlings
2 Bases of the little guys – do I need more ?
Snotling Pump wagon ( old version) – love this model – can I have a army of them ?
Trolls
2 x Rock Trolls ( need the one with the two handed weapon)
1 x River Troll (another lonely figure) – would trade for missing Rock Troll above
I also own but not sure if I should include
15 Big Uns ( Brian Nelson sculpts) includes a Drummer ( but no Std or Boss – have them – but based for another game (SBH) – if I include them and the other Big Uns that would need rebasing would be a unit of 24.
5 Boar Boys (the last metal ones) - as in I saw bits in a box and think that is what they would make up.
What I think I want
Forest Goblins on foot ( as many as I can get my greedy hands on )
Night Goblins – more base troops and some fanatics - thinking 2 units (what size?)
The old Black Orcs – unit 20-24 ?
Lots of Savage Orcs foot troops ( the ones I have are lonely) – more then one unit maybe ?
Grom the paunch
Azhag on Wyvern – would prefer the older orc boss/ wyvern (had him twice in the past) but have not even seen on ebay ( at a realistic price) for a while.
Giant (the clothed one) – have 2 of the later metal one - two plastic one and both Giants of Albion – but of course I want the one I do not have [Symbol]
What I know I can buy off a mate
Not cheap – but possibly a fair price for what they are.
Forest Goblin Spider riders – metal dudes about 24 of them – I know I want some but how many ?
Savage Orc Boar boys– 10 most with clubs - probably need some more of these too !
What I traded
The sorting and clean up for painting begins - this will be the first ones to see paint
The Snotling Pump Wagon has to be one of my favourite GW figures of all time
We have undercoat
Hopefully by the end of the weekend we will have some finished painted figures to show.
