The Jungle Orcs are Coming!!

[Simon]

With the new Orc and Goblin army book just came out, it is time to start my fav army of all time.

My Orc and Goblin army will be "jungle" themed, made up of savage orcs, forest goblins, spider riders and Gigantic jungle creatures and dinosaurs.

this army consists:

Great savage orc shaman Wurrzag
Savage orc war boss (Avatar of war brute orc model)
Savage orc war boss BSB
forest goblin big boss

savage orcs
forest goblins
river trolls (use as trolls)

boar chariots (stegadon with orcs)


My first order from Maelstorm has arrived.



I am going to use river trolls as normal trolls
orc mounted stegadons as boar chariots.

all models will be based on Micro art studio bases



my first lot of MAS bases.

This promises to be your best yet!

Exactly the kind of army I'd love to do, very keen to see what list you settle on in the end.
Count me in for some practice games against you!

[Simon]

this is going to be a very slow project.

I am going to take my time and paint each model individually, I predict it will take me at least a year.

I am going to paint and purchase a unit at a time because micro art studio bases are very very expensive.

[Lazarus]

there expensive coz they waste all that cash on packaging.

After I spent 2.5 hours last Sat assembling 180 identical clan rats, I decided I really need a break from them.

So I decided to open up my first box of savage orcs. Personally I think the new savage orcs is one of the best GW range. The models are really well sculpted. They look really dynamic and mad which is exactly what I think savage orcs should look like. In regards to the sprues, there are tonnes of extra hands and weapons but I can’t believe there are only 10 heads!! No extra at all! Overall I am very happy with the design, but was very unhappy about the price.

Anyhow, all my models are going use Mirco art studio bases, they are very very expensive but they are very very very nice. IMO, they are definitely the BEST you can get, they make all other resin bases look like crap. If you are a quality over quantity person, just go for Mirco art studio, you will not regret it. One problem I found with MAS bases is that because they are so detailed, it is quite difficult to fit a model onto the base and later rank them up. So I decided to pin all my models then rank them up before I glued them onto the bases.

First 10 is assembled and all ready for undercoating. Left hands are going to be magnetized so I can give them shields or extra hand weapons.

Beautiful, very well posed. They're going to look absolutely awesome when done.

After almost 1 month of waiting, my first half order from maelstrom games has arrived!
I will be taking this army with me to OZ in Aug and will be competing sporadically in OZ next year.

[Jayden]

my night gobos are going to run from that!

[Big D]

My dwarfs will just get mad.

[Simon]

can't be stuff going to work, worked on my jungle orc army for a bit.

stage 1 of my Savage orc stegadon rider (AKA orc Chariot)



the idea is: I magnetize everything so I can disassemble it easily:




and turn into a jungle goblin Stegadon (use for my Goblin Lizardmen army)





enjoy
