WIP: Garfy’s Orc Armies on Parade Board #9
With the Orctress finally built, it’s time to detail the board. Learn what I used to detail the foamcoare with after the jump. That’s right, plaster cloth. This is the stuff doctors wrap broken limbs up with and your friends sign your cast with a…
WIP: Dwarfs Hammerers WIP #3
This is what I have been working on lately to finish up the Hammerers. I am theming my Dwarfs around Belegar which explains the red/purple/white color scheme. I call the unit the Ruby Regiment, the blood sworn bodyguard of Belegar Ironhammer, King of Karak Eight Peaks….
Showcase: Skaven Warlord on Rat Ogre Bonebreaker
As I mentioned in previous posts I just recently attended my first team event. My buddy on the team wanted to play my Skaven for the event. The organizers wouldn’t let him run the Screaming Bell so he asked me to make up this brute…
WIP: Garfy’s Orc Armies on Parade Board #8
What comes up must come down… after the jump. That’s right, I have a working jawbridge. My lovely wife gave me one of her necklaces to create a mechanism for raising and lowering the gate. The suspended winch still gives enough clearance to fit…
WIP: Dwarfs Hammerers #2
Hey everyone, sorry I have been MIA for awhile now. September was a crazy month for me and although I was getting some little amounts of painting in I wasn’t good about posting here. Life is normalizing again and hobby time isn’t so precious that…
WIP: Garfy’s Orc Armies on Parade Board #7
It’s Warhammer Fest today and I’m going up tomorrow (Sunday) with Stahly. Check out our Facebook page for updates of our adventure. Now back to the armies on parade entry… To add some character to the board I’ve got out my trusty pencil to sketch out some…
WIP: Garfy’s Orc Armies on Parade Board #6
The Orktress is nearly built. I’ve clad the outside with whittled balsa wood. More after the jump. Just a small amount of cladding to do on the inside, then I can make the jawbridge and orc idol face. Watch this space.
WIP: Garfy’s Orc Armies on Parade Board #5
I’m using Balsa wood to clad my Gorktress Walls to make it look like a timber structure. Orcs aren’t known for their neatness so odd sized, mis-matched pieces are perfect. Read on to see how I added texture to the Balsa Wood. Balsa Wood doesn’t…
WIP: Garfy’s Orc Armies on Parade Board #4
The basic shape of the Gorktress has been made from foamcore. Read on to find out how I constructed it. I built the two towers first (wait, wrong game system). Then I cut slots into the side of both towers to slide the front walls…
WIP: Garfy’s Orc Armies on Parade Board #3
In this instalment I cut and glue the foamcore boards. Read on to find out how I solved the issue of warping. With the holes cut, I used masking tape to cover the exposed edges. You can’t spray undercoat onto exposed foam. There is something…
