Anthony’s wrap-up post

Friends, I am happy to be in such distinguished company. This my second, completed Old World Army Challenge, as it is for many of you. I won't lie, it was tough to paint all these greenskins, although I have only myself to blame for making that choice. I present to you, Rifgit Snapjaw's marauding horde of greenskins:



The army is composed of the following:

Organ gun ...... 102.5 points
10 Gobbo Wulf(spider)boyz ..... 110 points
Orc Man Mangler ..... 93 points
3 Trolls .... 220 points
10 Big 'Uns ... 95 points
Rifgit's Guard. 5 Snortas .... 135 points
11 Arrer Boyz with crossbows .... 126.5 points
2 goblin chariots .... 108 points
Orc Stone Thrower .... 42.5 points
5 Snotling Bases .... 125 points

Total: 1157.5 points
Nothing makes me happier than having my points total contain a numeric fraction. I feel like that alone wins Oldhammer


So where is the big man himself, you may ask? Here he is. He was busy leading the raid of a local empire town,  so he couldn't make it for the picture.


Talking of photography absenteeism, I must apologize for the lack of an Oldhammer pose. You see, I hate taking army shots, mainly because I have trouble bringing everything in focus when I stand in front of the camera with models on the table.


So what's on the table next? Well, I'm not painting more green skin - I can confidently tell you that much! I've gotten into some cool kickstarters (The Others, Rising Sun), so I may take a crack at those before continuing on the greenskins. Next in line for my greenskin army is a forest goblin contingent (60 forest goblins, 20 forest goblin spiders, giant spiders and araknarok's galore etc.)


I must thank the Overlord for organizing this challenge for the second consecutive year. I realize that his relentless shaming, snarky comments and over-inflated ego were necessary tools to motivate a bunch of curmudgeonly grognards to complete the challenge. Although I do find his 'marriage' and 'personal life' excuses to be a little on the whiny side!


Until next time, happy painting amigos! And thanks again, Iannick, for strengthening the Oldhammer community through your efforts with the OWAC.

    1. Thank you sir. The key is movement trays - that way they can all flee together more easily :)

  5. Anyone who paints Greenskins for the OWAC should get a campaign tattoo like they do in the army! Congratulations on a great looking force :)

  9. Great looking army, and beautiful painting. Even more impressive given the figure count! I also like all the little details on the bases, the shields on the man-mangler... Congratulations. Looking forward to the next faction.
