Thanks man. Yeah I struggled to have them hold them nicely for firing. Not too much bitz and lack of cash, otherwise I think I could have done that.. But I am quite happy with those swinging them and atleast one actually, trying, to fire.. I might do more in the future, but i need to get more plastic.. The main-opponent in the upcoming campaign has Undead so figured having short bows on the little runts, aka Gobbos, and some crossbow orcs seemed klever.. No Fear -test to put arrows in dose weedy gitz! And when the Gobbos and squigs are down, we go back to the taverna anyways, beating the shit out of the beaten up Gobbos when they later return, losing us the match.. Hehe.. I have it all figured out - gold will roll in, ish, the orcs will get fungus beer and some action as the runts bear the brunt..

New O&G-boss. Ashork was never meant to always be the boss. But I will use him if this is not painted when we start (soon - august(. Crossbow, why not? BS 4, I want it modelled atleast. Might not pay for it from the start.. But was not really any space to hang it on the back but I had that empty hand gripping something..

Honestly, it's how I'd model them with such fancy tech anyhow.

Thanks guys. Fixed him up quickly. Pretty happy with him. Even went back and fixed teef and bones on the Shaman and Big ´uns a little better while I was at it.. Will see if I can´t make the arrow-arse-ends a little better tho..

Just realized I can just use my Big ´uns as Black orc heroes and thos Boss, for a while.. So I can play both Warbands.. It´s time to paint Bllod Bowl Black orcs - and that troll, I think.. That troll, might.. Might! Be a susbstitute Mordheim troll for a little while.. But I think I have a proper River Troll before I can afford it in game!
Should I hang crossbows on the Big ´uns backs? They might afford them later and they could come in handy in soem scenarios - if I know when to shoot and when to move.. but it would be nice having the option. I will face alot of Undead, with all that annoying Fear..

Looked over my first boyz - I was happy then, just a couple of weeks ago.. But surprisingly I had become a liiitle better - and they needed improvement. The skin was sloppy, too dark, just a thin layer of Warboss Green on the Waaagh Flesh (which was laid down a bit too un-thinned so a little grainy). Looks a little bit better now. Will try to fix it over the warband and then other stuff like bones and teef too. The Big ´uns will have to be Black Orc heroes for a while too. I´ll leave the two I have and that big boss. I might put him - and the two Blorc heroes, on square bases instead... And then i will paint the Blorc BB team. But, the Big ´uns will get some paint touch ups as well as crossbows on their backs. They have it on if I buy it later.. No quivers though.. Lack of bitz, later?

Looking good chap! The bases really work with the scheme you've gone with too!

Thanks guys, forgot to reply here.. The left crossbow, I think it was, fell off during transport so I think it now looks like the other one.. I have Ashork as a reserve hero when someone advances, forgot that, so started to plan an Orc I could use... But i damaged the body without shells on the necklace so took this.. might put it on hold though.. Might need those arms for the Boar mounted one.. But these will get bows - and maybe some other stuff for a dagger and maybe an axe later when I get money. i kinda appreciate the mobile firepower of the bows now. Crossbows are great but that table I was on, was very crowded in places... And I want distance "firepower".
Cannot separate the torso and legs easily. But i did get the heads off so all mould lines can be cleaned up. Just ordered Savage Orc bow arms and quivers....
If I remember correctly, those are all three legs from the command plus the boss´ torso (bigger). But that´s okay, I like them. The boss will be, well, boss! might become a hero too if needed.. I have a list with four of these Arrer Boyz in. But always nice with a spare.
