Tough Luck

With Mossbeard and the Elven Archers defeated, the time has come for the inevitable Toughness check.

Way back in the day, when an orc model got knocked down, an orc leader could rouse him with a Warcry, and if that didn't work, there was the Toughness check. To pass, most orcs needed to roll a 9 or 0.

Lady Luck, however, does not care much for poor Gurgh. He is one of my oldest models and has much of his paint worn away. Still he is a good stout front-line veteran...and Reven-Heaven's number one returning customer. 

Yard Work

Urga and his Beastmen Woodcutters come to the rescue as the orcs take on the Treeman, hoping to prove that Mossbeard's BARK is much worse than his bite.

The PUNishment never ends, folks!  As for Urga and the rest of the Beastmen, I always imagined them to be the expert landscapers of the Monglash steppes.  

Tree Huggers

Upon realizing that Elves are almost impossible to shoot when they're hidden in the trees, Ugmok and Gurgh try out the tactic for themselves.

It was only a matter of time before I took a jab at the elves. Oddly enough, this was inspired by a game room incident in which my friend Kelly needed a proxy for the big Tree-man model. We "made do" with one of my ogres camouflaged in clump-lichen. Some of the other elf players were not quite so amused.

Friendly Fire

When Elves attack the Reven column, Narg sends his rookie Archers forward, but leaves his rear flank unprotected.

Believe it or not, there ARE actually people out there who are fanatic enough that they go through the trouble of adding bowstrings to their archer miniatures. The material of choice is kitty whiskers (that fall out naturally, of course).

LIttle MIss Understanding

On the road to Aizen Krahl, Krunk meets his new Captain. Not only is love blind, but it does not listen too well either. Introducing #02946 Neroli, half-orc paladin painted by Anastrianna in her first full-length feature funny-page.

The Dantral proxy joke begame a rather long-running gag at our local Warlord games because the official model for the half-orc captain took a long time to actually enter production.  Besides, this particular model was painted by a very talented friend as a gift and I was dying to show her off.
