I was rewatching the Ralph Bakshi Lord of the Rings cartoon movie for the first time in many years and I forgot how Stoney Baloney this movie was! I realize that they basically ran out of money and had to use all the rotoscope footage they had which is why the story moves along so jarringly quick. There’s a whole 12 minute chase scene where it’s basically horse dressage while Frodo tries to get away. But this is it! This is how I fell in love with orcs! I saw these guys in this and the Hobbit cartoon and it rocked my world. Who were these fanged and tusked guys and where can I find more!? Luckily it was the early-ish 1990’s and I would soon be provided so much to work with as Magic the Gathering, Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, and my discovery of Warhammer Fantasy Battles would happen soon in quick succession not to mention that these movies would be remade by Peter Jackson as the new millennium rolled in. What a movie! What a legacy! What an impact on my life!
Come to bed.
An Amazon purchase, a 3D print that I painted up for our Lost Mines D&D 5E campaign. The second floor has an area for gaming (I decided) here you can see Texas Hold-Em, Roulette, and of course…. BLOOD BOWL!
Some work in progress shots of my Mordheim board! It’s set in a nearby Orc Fort!
I also finished these mangler squigs!
Some updated shots of the Waaagh! With some closer shots of the named characters I have as well!
Close ups of the Orcs and Goblins army. I need to finish the bases on a lot of these and it’s my least favorite part. Buy flock in bulk: my advice
I try to post something every day. I have a lot of stuff to show everybody. Here’s today’s! This Orc Warboss that I converted/kitbashed after listening to the Misfits a lot about 10 years ago or so. I named him Grimghost the Black and his lore is that he’s the leader of a warband from Sylvania called Da Grave Eatas! The ghouls eat the corpses and the boys eat the ghouls! One day I’ll make a regiment for him.
