I also saw that I had neglected to paint the eyelids on one of the previous hoppers, so I corrected that. Here's a pic of them all together 👇
That kinda wraps up the extra paintwork I have done this month. I had really envisioned that I'd be able to complete the black orc unit as a minimum, but as predicted - motivation has completely left 😭
Here's a quick pic to see the state of the army at the end of February - two months into the challenge.👇
As you can see, it's pretty much the original army list completed and just the extras to paint (archers, black orcs, wyvern and hoppers). Thankfully I held back on posting as a lot of real life happened which meant no painting, and then the unenviable loss of mojo :(
Nevertheless, I still think this O&G army is my best work and I'm really proud of it. I can really see myself adding to it in the future, which is nice. I have many more monopose O&G's in the grey pile!
Sooo, all that leaves is some pics of my Orcs and
Goblins of OWAC VIII!
Goblins of OWAC VIII!
Apologies for these, the light was super different and washed everything out a bit. The links back through the OWAC are at the bottom of the post, and there'll be better pics on the link
Ideally I'd have loved to have taken some set pics with all the terrain and some other armies but this month has still been a little hectic. Might well be some later on my Instagram (link)

All that remains is to congratulate all Challengers on completing their wonderful projects - such nostalgia and brilliant paint! Thank you to the founder Iannick, and the Board of Trustees (headed by Byron) who sail this fine ship - many thanks once again for all your hard work ✨
A chap after my own heart, the horde continues to grow, great stuff, well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Hopefully next year will see some of the psychostyrene O&G's in the paint, but we'll see...
DeleteTop notch pix my guy! What a terrific army!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
DeleteThis has been an amazing season from you. The project has been interesting to follow and is definitely one of my absolute favourites. I really like your style and the bright colours, which bring to mind the White Dwarf magazines from the era - many of your photos would fit right into those pages. Truly fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteThat is a super nice thing to hear - thank you!
DeleteCongratulations on such a stellar output in such challenging circumstances. This army really captures the White Dwarf/Eavy Metal Studio vibe perfectly. My hat is off to you sir!
ReplyDeleteCheers! Got to have been one of the very best starts to the challenge I've ever had, followed by the worst 😂😭. But, it's all evened out in the end, and I'm super pleased with the result. Thanks again!
