The Green Tide.

[lgmdaniel]

Back to my very much loved collection of the green. I've had a mix of these models when I first started collecting in the late 80s, having picked up some blisters and boxes from the only place that was local to a boy living on Hayling Island. Southsea Models and Games in Portsmouth. When I got back into the hobby around 2014 I sold off a lot of stuff that was just a distraction and started sourcing more and more greens, a lot never got painted, just put into my own storage. Though I did get a small warband of models painted up. This was after backing, I think a Kev Adams and Tim Prow Kickstarter, which had a number of Heartbreaker minis. It again went quiet, until the mention of GW of the release of Old World. Which poked my interested and pretty much once I got hold of the rule books started painting loads and loads of Goblins and Orc. Within about 2/3 months I had 3000 pts, plus more plans to get the rest of my lead pile sorted and my eye on some other miniatures.
So he I present some of my collection, in full colour.

Some of the first ones I started on after the new release.

Discoveries in the attic.


A large majority of the models, its got a lot bigger since. More Trolls, and some other bigger models.



I think this collection was what I put together for my first game. No Orcs yet, but they did join them over time.

Lovely stuff. Very much the period my Orcs and Gobbos grew properly from my previous little war band. I remember those spears on the Goblins, they were lethally sharp. The way you've done the mushroom shields is very clever, I like that.

Thanks, as I was painting up loads, I wanted a quick and easy method to getting them done. I have so many Goblins with spear, I think I counted about 100. So still a fair few more to get done at some point.

As you can see, I also still have the boxes.

What a great horde you've put together. Those fanatics live in my head rent free for now and all eternity - lovely little buggers.
And keeping original boxes (which look pristine!) is on the next level of collecting. Makes me wish I had saved all the boxes I bought back in the day.

I'd have loved to have saved some more, but I've no idea what happened to them. At some point I'll get a proper gaming room and have them on the shelf.
