Morannon Orcs swaps 2

Until an unemployed Troll happens by, it's back to weapon swaps with the Morannon Orcs.

Ordinary Orcs have a reputation as scroungers, using whatever weapons they can find.

Not so, Morannon Orcs, who have an issue of equipment and generally keep to it.

This bunch, however, were last in the queue and so many have had to pick up odds and ends as they marched along.

Amazingly, they even found items left behind by some passing Dark Eldar and Ultramarines from a universe far, far away.

(Just to make it clear, these are only at the basecoat spray stage!)

Dark Eldar

These Dark Eldar Kabalite Warriors are from Henry's box set.

They make great models but my painting standard is not up to their quality.

They've not been to war yet.


In both fact and fiction they are rather fragile.

I'm still thinking about the bases!

Pickled Magic

 Just to show I've done a little painting when not watching little men run about Settlers 2 country, here's granddaughter's choice.


She wanted to be in with the boys but at her age, this Spell Weaver will have to be kept, ship-like, in a bottle.


Well, a pickle jar actually.


This is a Fine Cast model and though the detail is to be admired, the rough edges, bubbles, pits etc make me think - plastic every time.


Add to that the difficulty in getting paint to adhere, despite two washes in warm water and detergent and the silly prices - well, I'll not be buying many.


The trouble is, GW have you over a barrel if you want leaders and characters.


I'll keep an eye out on Ebay in case some turn up in plastic.


The other she chose was Isabella Karstein but she'll have to wait.


First some Dark Eldar.

Discount Prices

Oh! How could I forget.

We adopted a new discount scheme last month, one army from each range was to be discounted.

Now, as neither David nor Nina can tell an Orc from an Ork or a Dark Elf from a Dark Eldar, we have decided to revert to having a

discount price for every box of models.

That includes starter sets, boxed games, the new Citadel Finecast models and models not in stock, but ordered in, especially for you.

Good, eh?
