| 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.

Are those Blood Bowl Trolls I see?
ReplyDeleteVery cool
Yes, two Blood Bowl Trolls 😄
DeleteAn amazing horde! Best of luck for the project
ReplyDeleteThank you James!
DeleteThat's a LOT of Goblin Wolf Riders! Can't wait to see what colour schemes you use and watch your progress through these. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you Graeme!
DeleteTeam Gobbo!
ReplyDeleteAlways.
DeleteGreat looking army! And lovely choice of art work!
ReplyDeleteThank you George !
DeleteLove the battery of Doom Divers! Looking forward to seeing this army finished!
ReplyDeleteMe too !
DeleteSome classic miniatures in there, and soooooo many wolves. I remember previously that you painted a lot of colour variations for these, so that should help you from going howling mad from repetition... ;) Good luck for OWAC IX
ReplyDeleteAll the wolves will be painted slightly differently !
DeleteThat’s a lot of Wolves! Absolutely loving it - best of luck for the coming months!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jaska !
DeleteA practically full cavalry army! I remember a white dwarf where there a was a full wolf riders army and i was stunned. You made a great selection of models, knightmare miniatures are really good.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my goal ! After this OWAC I should have around 70 Goblin Wolf Riders, Grom and Niblet on chariot and 3 others chariots, all painted. I think I still have 2-3 chariots somewhere to paint ! Probably not good at all for an army but still fun to try !
DeleteAhh, holy moly - the dream of all O&G armies (I think - it's certainly mine) to have a whole raiding party of wolves. absolute legend! Good luck with the paint!
ReplyDeleteI love the goblin horde! and those trolls are ace!
