Mitzy Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 So Destruction huh... I rebased my Ogres the minute AoS dropped and have been using them exclusively until SCGT 2016 when I re-based my demons. But before this madness began (don't we all just love re-basing an entire army!) I had bought some Orcs to add to my Ogres. The Orcs will be painted up in the same scheme as the Ogres (The Meat Men ofMitzmanheim) and are slowly coming together. Here are some photos of what is finished and a couple of wip shots of my troll unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Looking great! Are you planning on adding some of the new stuff to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitzy Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Cheers chaps, I am so loving the Orruks and getting them done is really enjoyable. I am SO excited for the new minis and will be pre-ordered everything tomorrow morning I'll add more photos as the army comes together but probably need to move the thread to the painting section... Anyway how are those AoS dice serving you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 The dice are great. I rolled a hammer on my first go! Im looking forward to see you get the new toys built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitzy Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Well, I blew a load on the pre-order Orruks! WAAAGHH incoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stronghold Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Me too! The Gore-gruntas may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I like 'em and they'll fit perfectly with my new army theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, a unit of them flanked by my Pig Boyz will be a force to reckoned with! Well they'll look mighty pretty (in Orruk terms obviously)!

DeadlySarcasm Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Wow I've never even considered using LOTR trolls in my O&G army, they are so much nicer than the standard troll model (not the river trolls, i love my river trolls). How do they size up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amysrevenge Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 My favourite non-GW troll is from Reaper's Pathfinder line. Size fits well with the old metal GW trolls (smaller than the River Trolls). Soon to be available in Bones, for now just in metal. ETA: I only have 1 metal one right now - once they are past the kickstarter stage and up for sale I think I'll buy 6 or 9 of them in Bones.

How do they size up? They work really well as it goes, but they look a bit stupid on a 40mm base therefore I mounted mine on 50mm ones, disadvantaging myself maybe but the aestetic looks better in my opinion. Here is a photo for size comparison to the new Orruk Mega Boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I'm going to be attending Throne of Skulls with this army I'll have to stick to GW minis for this project but there are some great alternatives out there for sure!

Mitzy Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Oh and over the weekend I finished my 1st Orruk mini from the latest release, I have to retake the photo this evening as the one I posted on Twitter as finished had not been finished at all! As soon as I posted it up I realised that his tongue hadn't been painted and he had no blood spatter....... For the love of Gork and Mork, whoever heard of an Orruk cleaning the blood off himself for a photo? Pic to follow this evening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amysrevenge Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Yeah fair enough. I'm heading to the UK this month and wanted to bring along stuff to play in WHW and it was actually really hard to put something together that was all either GW or scratch-built out of GW bits.

DeadlySarcasm Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 @Mitzy cheers for the picture dude. I think I will be picking up some of these to use as regular trolls once I've got my ironjawz done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitzy Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 So here he is Warboss Ellviz (blue Pig Iron shoes and all), see every good Warboss knows that boots are made for stompin' and Ellviz likes his enemy to see his boots as they rain down on their skull! Enjoy... Ps, his 60mm Sarissa base is in the post so he is borrowing a 40mm for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobgoblinclub Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Love your painting style. It's a much brighter than stuff I usually like but this really works. Nice bit of humour in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
