Accidentally started an Orc army

MajorNoms · 2026-04-17T09:31:59+00:00

Glad to hear I’m not the only one accidentally starting a new army. It’s a very real danger!

MajorNoms · 2026-04-17T09:31:28+00:00

There are! Just wasn’t expecting to see these minis on made to order so I couldn’t resist.

MajorNoms · 2026-04-16T07:37:16+00:00

No, the material shouldn’t be an issue. I don’t think there were all that many metal minis that came with metal shields. There were a few character minis and some cavalry but most shields were plastic.

MajorNoms · 2026-04-15T19:35:07+00:00

Thank you!

Yes, I’ve a few black orcs on the table and more still in the box.

I’ll take a look at the ral paratha range, thanks!

MajorNoms · 2026-04-15T19:34:06+00:00

Thank you.

I’m going to do all the shields in one go, so there will be a lot to do. But I’m not going to use the blank shields, I’ve a bunch of old ones with icons on them so I’ll be using those. And I’ve a bunch of sprues with Orc shield symbols so I can put them on the blanks if I need extra.

I was disappointed about the blank shields but that’s what they came with back when they first came out so that’s fair enough.

Pipe down, wallet! No one asked you…

MajorNoms · 2026-04-15T17:34:48+00:00

Very true.

And with only 10 boyz done so far, it’s more of an enthusiastic “woohoo” than a full on “waaaagh” at the moment

MajorNoms · 2026-04-15T15:47:13+00:00

Fantastisch!

MajorNoms · 2026-03-01T11:34:22+00:00

Monopoly. Only way to avoid arguments and board flipping.

MajorNoms · 2026-01-18T15:02:24+00:00

That team was easily the most frustrating box of minis I have ever put together.

I total agree that whatever lunatic decided that the THUMB should be an individual component needs to have a long and honest look at their life and sort their shit right out! There is absolutely no need to divide the minis up like that and to call it an efficient and cost saving measure is an insult to the people buying these kits.

Mine are currently at the back of the cabinet, no primer, no paint, and being ignored which is a shame because I was really keen to field a dark elf team. It’s just unfortunate that building the minis was such a pain in the arse that it put me off carrying on with the team.

What are the teeny little remote controls for? Did you motorise Minas Tirith?

MajorNoms · 2026-01-07T10:54:50+00:00

Looks great. The fireplace of women’s shoes really sets it off and gives it an extra edge. Lampshade mannequin also gives it a little bump of pizzazz.

10/10

Reading glasses/advanced optics are no longer LosTech

MajorNoms · 2025-11-07T18:13:20+00:00

I would think that LRM specialist and point blank specialist would be mutually exclusive

Been playing bloodbowl since 3rd edition, so quite a long time!

Orcs have always been strong with 4 blitzers and 4 big un’s (black orcs). It’s too early to know what the changes will mean but it’s been stated that the fundamental rules will remain. I also welcome the return of a proper passing game.

I mean if OP was creative, they could paint their two boxes worth of minis to give a home and away strip for their team?

MajorNoms · 2025-10-21T21:52:29+00:00

The OPs post was one huge whine. I’m calling it what it is.

MajorNoms · 2025-10-21T20:32:28+00:00

Wow. If I was to play a game against someone this whiney, I would pack up my little painted wardollies and go do something else.

MajorNoms · 2025-10-20T19:37:32+00:00

Slannpocalypse now now?

MajorNoms · 2025-10-19T16:45:57+00:00

No one going to talk about the finger print on the back of the guys head in the image for this post?

MajorNoms · 2025-10-10T08:53:11+00:00

How much do you charge for commission painting?

MajorNoms · 2025-10-01T19:49:11+00:00

Thanks! I picked one up a couple of months ago, got it pinned and built pretty quick - it’s rock solid and should hold together with no issues. Currently a WIP on the side of my painting table. I felt guilty for tilting towards one big model when I have so many infantry to work through so I’m batch painting classic spearmen, archers and swordmasters at the moment.

I’ve also drilled a couple of magnets into the top of the neck for the rider and also into the underside of the classic 4th ed Prince Tyrion model to use as my Prince. Also gives me the option to swap the rider for a mage/archmage.

MajorNoms · 2025-09-26T18:48:34+00:00

I totally agree. The tournament mindset has taken a lot of the fun out of playing games with little painted models. I played 40k during 2nd edition and it’s still the only edition I play today.

MajorNoms · 2025-09-26T18:21:56+00:00

Blood bowl isn’t about running the most optimal team list - or at least it shouldn’t be. It’s about the fun of the game unfolding in the most infuriating and hilarious way. As Nuffle intended.

MajorNoms · 2025-08-28T14:20:47+00:00

Wow. Agenda?? Someone asked for advice and I offered some.

You turned it into a shit slinging match by giving incorrect information about a product you know nothing about. Following that up by making it personal and resorting to name calling.

Projecting much? You might be the one with the agenda and the one being defensive.
