Glyn's Orc Waaaaggghhhhhh - Oorni Bughah brings his mob of Red Skullz to the Waaaaggghhhhhh (235.5 pts)

Well, having shamelessly sought refuge behind a combination of a mulligan and the garage last month in the face of lockdown meltdowns, I am happy and relieved to report that whilst skulking in the shadows, I was accosted by Oorni who demanded I show him the way to the Waaagghhh!

This unit of boyz is a combination of Citadel and Heartbreaker sculpts. I have long been a fan of the sculpt originally produced as the commander of the rock lobber but I think he's wasted overlooking the loading of rocks into a contraption almost guaranteed to be the cause of a premature death! A helmet like that deserves a position more befitting 😀 and so I have repurposed him as Oorni Bughah, the Boss of the Red Skullz tribe! He is armed with a sword, carries a shield and wears light armour for 36 points.

This guy is the standard bearer which I personally think is a great sculpt. So much detail but so well constructed it was a joy to paint him up. I opted not to modify his standard to include a banner, opting to just retain the totem as the standard for this unit. He is armed as Oorni and weighs in at 17 points.

My musician is a heartbreaker sculpt that simply oozes charisma.....and the biggest set of googly eyes I think I've ever seen on an orc! I really enjoyed painting the shield used as a gong. I decided to use the same oxidised bronzeish colour I've chosen to use in a few of the front rank sculpts to this unit. I'm rather pleased with how this has turned out.  He too weighs in at 17 points.

These 2 character packed guys complete this Orcy Pontypool Front Row of thuggery. I am again happy with the armours on both of these miniatures and especially enjoyed trying to make the skull cloak actually made up of skulls. I'm not 100% sure I've carried it off that well, but it's the enjoyment that matters right? 🙄

The remainder of the unit is made up of these 3 ranks and with the 2 guys from the front row, add up to 144.5 points. They are all armed with a hand weapon, carry shield and wear light armour.

The unit as a whole weighs into the Waaagghhh at 214.5 points for the month.

I'm also mindful that I haven't given a whole army shot as yet. I've remedied it below. So far the army stands at a total of 889 points.

Lastly, and in no way whatsoever so don't say it is or I'll kick you, my apple for the teacher 🍏 a Black Orc with a massive chopper!! I'll see it gets to you safe and sound Iannick.....and I'll claim the bonus 25 points for the month! 👌👍 giving me a total of 904 points.

My god, I wish I could take better pictures 🙄

Next month will see the introduction of some grit to the waaaaaaggghh.....my 6 stone trolls! 😉

Til next month.......
