Ian's Goblin Army (part II) - OWAC IX - Intro post

Greetings from the cold city of Montreal, Canada. This will be my fifth OWAC and the goal is to increase my ever expanding Goblin army. The plan is quite simple.

January : 10 Goblin Wolf Riders (Rank & File - 140 points) 

February : 10 Goblin Wolf Riders (Rank & File - 140 points)

March : 10 Goblin Wolf Riders (Rank & File - 140 points)

April : 10 Goblin Wolf Riders (Rank & File - 140 points)

May : 5 Doom Diver Catapults (Wild card - 500 points) 

June : Leader month and extras (Leader - 205 points if I choose to paint Skarsnik and Gobbla, 195 points for 3 Trolls)

OWAC IX

11 different wolves, a lot in metal, a lot of size difference !

Those are all extras. I might choose a leader on wolf instead of Skarsnik and Gobbla.

Goblins from different eras and size ! Knightmare miniatures on the far right.

The OWAC IX theme is about finding an old school artwork and building an army around it. I did the opposite. I knew I wanted to painted all the remaining Goblin Wolf Riders I had in my pile of shame before starting to look for an inspiring artwork. I found this one by doing a Google search and knew I saw it somewhere... I bought the Death on the Reik scenario for the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game way back around 1989. I always dreamed of playing it and read it entirely multiple times. I loved the depth of the story, all the weird encounters, the old school art... But I never had the chance to have a group to play it. I sold it a few years ago after keeping it for more than 30 years and immediately regret it.
