Orctober

So Erny, over at Erny's place has come up with an idea to get Orky in October. Or rather Orctober. He's doing this by having a giveaway here and 25 days of featuring Orcs.

I am definitely in for the plastic Orcs, they'll fit in nicely with my batch.

My 10 plastic Orcs. Looks like I need shields.

I thought I'd take it one step further and use this month long (or 25 day long) celebration to motivate my finishing up some orc figures. I have plenty of 28mm and 1/72 to work on.

1/72 Caesar and Dark Alliance

Dark Alliance and Ironwind Metals Wolves

Straight from the Ukraine, I'm not sure why the picture will not display horizontally.

Of course I still have to finish my Talomir forces and play out the battle.

I've had a few new followers to the blog so welcome to:

Phil, your blog is not listed in your friend connect but I'm sure it is the blog Association - Les Riflemen. A very nice blog with well painted figures and good battle reports. It has the plus of an inline English version of text for those of us who are Francophonically challenged.

Dennis Hutchinson, I don't see a blog listed for you either. Let me know if you have one and I'll post a link.

wKfB5nhpy8kvEj44APoPXM7nHFixHoKE, I have to say that I am troubled by your name. I can't tell if I've been butt added (sort of like butt dialed or butt posts to facebook) or if you are real. My apologies if you are real. You also do not have a blog link. Let me know if you have one you would like me to link to.

My kind of maid service, after the break.

  4. This is an excellent idea. I don't have any orcs at the moment, but I may be getting a few from a friend in the next week. If I do, I'll join in the fun. Would be nice to outdo Zombtober.

    1. Hi Anne, I'm actally on the fence about whether to join in on Zomtober as well. I have a bunch of 54mm Zombies that need some love.

  5. Loved those old orcs, even though my group would only allow me to get the Dark elves and Skaven.
    BTW, "wKfB5nhpy8kvEj44APoPXM7nHFixHoKE" must be someones dog who managed to press the right combination on the keyboard to become a follower. Else it is a very distinct name :-).
    All the best,
    Kasper

    1. Your group sounds like no fun ;) We'll see what happens with this new follower, it does beg the question, can you block or kick out followers? If it is some sort of bot or what have you.

    1. Hi Fran, love to see the orcs come out for a grand review. I need a maid service for the whole house, and the yard. One can dream.
