Here are the three new recruits to the team, blockers. At the moment there are only three because I'm hunitng down the final sculpt (I have trades - contact me!) but, like with the line-orcs, I'm pleased with how they've turned out. I could do better, but only if I spent an unreasonably long time on them, and I'm happy with the effort/outcome balance of these. Ready to bash heads....
I've also (just!) started on the blitzers:
And I've found the image I'm going to use as the basis for the team logo. I got it from a google image search, but when I tried to go to the page it gave me a 404 error. If it's yours, or you recognise it, do let me know so I can ask permission/credit the artist.
Six players gives me half a starting line-up, but I doubt I'd use that many lineorcs out of choice.
Do you have a favoured starting (competition) line-up for orcs?

They are lovely. Good work. An afternoon well spent sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephen.
DeleteLovely green there! Works very well with the red and white. I feel like painting BB now...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mattias! I think you should paint some BB, I'd love to see your take on a halfling team.
DeleteI actually have a few halflings painted, including the very imposing Puggy model. Realize I haven't posted all of them on my blog. Here are some of the team if you missed them:

Those are great! I definitely think you should get back to them and then maybe we could sort out some kind of play-by-email match up between the Wyverns and the Doom Forgers?
DeleteThat sounds like a rather good idea! :) 2nd edition w companion and star players books? Or current competition rules? My vote is on 2nd for gits and shiggles, like.
DeleteI used to play 'offline' fumbbl, as in we played peer to peer over the net but the teams were hosted on my site instead of fumbbl. I then rolled advancements etc IRL and updated the rosters. Allowed my cousin and I to play both remote and tabletop using the same teams.
I've never played 2nd! I started with LRB4, I think, and enjoy LRB6 best so far. I'm happy to give 2nd a go, though, and your offline fumbbl idea sounds fine. I suppose I'd had in mind something like the Midgard pbem client (which admittedly runs lrb4), which would allow us to have photos of our players down the side.
DeleteI think you've given me the supporters' slogan for my team as well - "In it for the Blitz and Niggles"
That's a very good slogan! =) About the technical platform, I'm at a loss. For 2nd edition we would probably have to do it oldschool. A pitch each, with tokens on them - and emailing our turns back and forth. The thought of that, while a pain in the ass, has a certain luddite lure to it. However - without the nostalgia I'm not sure you could stomach the 2nd edition rules. They're completely nuts! Guess that's why they're so flavourful. =D
DeleteIf we just want a proper game, I agree - LRBx is good. Something that lets me stat up a team with two werewolves, a few dwarves and a handful of halflings. I have most of the team painted - it's only two flings and a werewolf that needs paint applied.
You seem to have a little better grasp of the available clients. Cook something up? =)
And btw, email me on "lolphreedh@godzilla.se" - but without the lol. =)
Deletedisgraceful, skipping school to paint....no wonder you getting more painting done than me!!! ;-)
ReplyDeletethey look great though
I would swap a day with 11XCore to avoid a migraine any day!
