Mushroom-soup? Well, kinda.. Stripped those extra 19 NGs for a total of 49, I think, now.. Decent unit.

Just need to check them for mould lines.. No one will ever look but I do care, I just cannot, not clean them upp.. But it is okay, I watch or listen to something and grab a knife..

Yeah it´s a bit boring.. I am just cleaning up mould lines... But I want to assemble it, before starting to prime.. Heh.. The growing Whaaagh! A Bigboss (?) on his boar, I´ll paint the arms separately so, not glued. 2x NG Shamans, 1 NG BSB, 1 Night Goblin Bigboss. Soon to be, 30 NGs with netters, full command. And soon to be, 20 Ngs with short bows, full command (I´ll use them for a second spear-armed unit later), 8 Big ´uns with spears, full commands. That BSB will have to be the standard bearer for now, I have no other and I have to konvert a musician from the Black orc drum somehow.. Right now, i can make about 16 boyz. I need to sort that thing.. Spider Riders 10 plus some character, full command. I´ll paint this plus alittle more I´ll buy and try to get some 750p-1000p games in at Christmas perhaps?
I found one NG without a nose.. So clipped that head off and replaced it with the champion´s. And then used the standard´s pole and put an orc skull on it plus the gong basher´s basher? He´ll do as a second shaman for now! The skull is from an old Savage Orc Shaman, hehe..
Cannot really decide if i want a unit of Savage Orcs (that I don´t really like, but they ARE availble and I need the bow arms for Mordheim!), Stone Trolls, more NGs, boyz (40k bodies, I have choppa arms) or squigs.... I can trade in some old shit for 2-3 boxes.. Oh, Maybe Black orcs, but i still don´t think they will be worth it at this lower level, yet..

Thinking about painting these 500p first. I´ll probably add atleast four more boyz though, since I can easily do that. But Doing 500p and playing some Escalation League with a couple of friends might be fun. I prefer a little more.. But I would start playing at 500p once these are done.. There a sNG haman and an orc Bigboss as characters. And my shitty Mordheim Fanatics - for now..

I got some mix of Skull Pass Spider Riders and from the box.. They look similar, but the ones I suspect are from Skull Pass, are moulded in one piece.. Just like the NGs

I like the converted shamans. Simple but effective

Thanks - yeah, cheap & easy, for now. But I like them as well. The squig horde has begun to take shape.. Those I had still, from the Mordheim-stuff.. 20 on the way.. i also have some spare Goblins and I will be using those left-over gong-bashers, standard bearers etc.

Yeah - I sawed it off just now. Was even more evident in the pic that it was wrong.. But it is gone now!

Hmm.. Stripped the 6th Mordheim-squig, my brown "war dog"-squig.. I have not even used it so felt unecessary.. Now I am thinking about stripping the other five and rebase them on square bases... That gives me 30, hehe.. Is 25 enough or can I.. Might as well strip these too? I can play them in Mordheim with square bases but not the other way around.. They look ok but i used Khorne Red since the store did not had the other red.. Can´t remember which, which I painted them.. Now I have all of those Mephiston red, Wazdakka, Wild Rider, Wvil Sunz or whatever.. Might as well re-paint and do it better - and have 30 plus 10, right?

NVM the shitty-looking bases.. it is just what I have.. The last ones too.. But I threw together a new unit standard for my spear-Orcs. Figured it would be nice to be abdle to have the Orc BSB too.. I just took that spiked club from the boyz, cut it down and used the Black orc stuff... I think it works? The unit is a bit messy to form up though.. And then, yeah, I needed an orc shamen. And this is what I had... An Ork Nob, I made that skull wand and chose that head... Should probably be bare-headed though? He looks much stronger and tougher than his stats. but I have an orc Shaman.. I think I´ll clean up the shield arms for the orcs and prime them. I´ll paint them first.. They are kinda done. Only 20 but I will add more later as I get more.... I hope i get the 20 squigs and 3 trolls soon.. I have bases for the trolls but i need to pick up more 20mm square ones. I don´t have any more.. While they are not expensive, they are annoying to buy. I can get 20 without slots for like 4 dollars or twice the ammount with slots... But they were not in the store I can get them from. But I have put ina notice..

Oh yeah - that Nob-body have three shells in the necklace.. I tried to scrape them down to look like teef and I will paint them that way. I had another body but did not like its stance.. Curious to what you guys think of these O&Gs ona budget with konvershuns look like.. And I´m looking forward to get some green on them..
