The Latest RAGE - Part 1

At long last, our adventuresome heroes find what they've been looking for... but discover it was not quite what they expected. Special guest performance by #03043: Surkar, Orc Shaman, painted by the extremely talented Jester.

The RAGE Chronicles had just been released, a game revision that included many new rules and changes to character data cards. Many models gained extra Special Abilities and Damage Tracks. Faction abilities were also revised.

Other Side of the Rainbow

Captain Kharg and company go in search of paint, and are surprised to see a few familiar faces. Meanwhile, Lunk selflessly takes it upon himself to validate a certain legend concerning rainbows and pots of gold. WARNING! IF YOU READ THIS COMIC WHILE LISTENING TO PINK FLOYD, NOTHING PARTICULARLY PROFOUND WILL HAPPEN!

Okay..so nothing is sacred..not Warlord, not CAV..and now not even Reaper paints. At the time I had a pile of unassembled, unprimed, and unpainted orcs, not to mention a few that needed some touch-up work. Then I was just beginning to learn to paint.

Ironically enough it was about that time that Reaper announced their plans to launch their line of Legendary Encounters pre-painted plastic models.  They had seen my work and were afraid.

Lucky Streak

When Greka explains that the Ring Of Power has an evil side too, Lunk comes up with a plan that will improve the party's chances.

Our game store used to have a bucket of "cursed dice" for people to borrow if they had shown up without their own dice. I never did formal scientific tests to validate the curse, but most people preferred to remain on the safe side and buy dice there rather than chance losing another character to Old Snake Eyes.

Dial "O" for "Owwww!"

Kharg and company hatch a plan to hijack some big stompy robots. Meanwhile, Fourthorc finds what everybody else is looking for by using his head.

In original Warlord, a 10, or zero on a ten-sided die, is an automatic success or hit. 

East of Adon

After a seemingly endless trek across the vast and empty emptyness, Kharg's raiders discover a whole new world of surprise and danger...and cheesy pop-culture referrences. CAV Dictator 70 painted by guest-painter Chris "Bob" Holcomb.

Reaper also published a game called CAV that was a sort of futuristic big-stompy-robot fantasy game. The models were based on six-sided bases and 'could' be played on a hexagonal map.

While making this comic I had to repeatedly remind myself that there is no "k" in orc.

Reven Brides for Reven Brothers - Part 3

In spite of Greka's bad matchmaking, one lucky couple succeeds in walking away unwounded from le Jeu d'Amour.

Up in Kargir, the orcs have this little game they like to play in which they take up axes, swords, clubs and other hurtsy things, march into the human-occupied parts of Orc Country (which is pretty much the whole rest of the world) and wage war on the basis of "those gits stole our football". The football is in fact only symbolic, but the vuvuzela is all too real..and unfortunately for the orcs, the humans invented it first.

Reven Brides for Reven Brothers - Part 2

Proxy Models arrive from far and wide to help Greka in her mission to make the world a greener place. Special appearance in this strip by Skralla the Black, painted by Urion Franz.

Originally in official tournaments, only Reaper models from the Warlord line were allowed in the game, and each model could only represent the model it was intended to represent unless no model was yet available. This was eventually relaxed, and not long after that, ANY Reaper model could be used..even some of the orcs from the old Dark Heaven line...which made me and the rest of the Gragg Elfslayer Fan Club very happy.
