Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 17 The Great Gaggle of Goblins

Around 10 years ago when GW released Skull pass I bought 3 box sets of it and then promptly put them away to collect dust. I think most of the dwarf bits went to a friend also never to see the light of day. It was about 3 months ago when I got them all out and bagged them up ready to sell at the next gaming convention. And then I played a game of KOW. I had an ogre army that I really loved and I have pretty much finished it now so as I was looking for a new project (Not like I don't have 4 other armies I could rebase) I decided to look at Goblins. I have a few units painted up for my orc army but when I pulled out all the Skull pass minis I had more than enough to start a complete new army. I may use the odd older model but I will mostly use the new ones I think.

I've had 3 games with the Gobbo's and they are rock hard. Legions are the key to the army IMO and I have tables two armies to date. (Got tabled once by efreets but we all know what I think of them)

Anyway I wanted a new theme and I want to show of the display base aspect of the game so I've come up with a dungeon theme for the Goblins.

Here is a pic of the first base which will be a regiment of Fleabag sniffs. I have about 30 spiders (A heap got used in a deamon army but 30 is a good start) and Im going to use them as mounts but I didn't like the forest goblins on them so I will use night goblin archers as the riders.

Anyway here is the first concept unit

There will eventually be 6 spiders in the unit.


There will be a torch on the wall. I tried to paint the base so it looks 

like the torch is lighting the room up.

Anyway let me know what you think. There will be a lot more to come.

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 16G. The end is Nigh!!!

So I think I'm ready to stick a fork in this army. If I do a revisit I may add another horde of Shooters but apart from that I think I have enough stuff covered to give me a playable list.

I counted up all the bits and I have about 3500 points with no magic items. Not a bad start and about what I had with the other system that shall not be named.

At some point I will do a Video Army showcase to show all the guys.

Anyway here are some pics. They are a bit washed out as I am still getting use to the camera I have at home. I think its the lighting personally.



King Sirruh Wretched Thunderguts Longshanks the Turd.

Heroic Pose.

The Shooters. Cant hit anything but they scare a few people.

Boomers

Siege Breakers

penitent Gobbos Carry a long dead hero to war. This is my other unit od Siege breakers.

Eddie suggested using this guy, a BSB on Chariot with Ensorcelled armour.
At first I was like Pffft, but it survived 3 rounds of attacks from Badger riders and a badger Hero
 in two separate games. And at 140 points he is a cheap inspiration. 

Red Goblin Scouts. The toy Ponies are really fast.

King Steven. King of all the red goblins. (In his mind anyway)

Next up will be my Gobbo Army. Tabled Eddie twice but Kort Tabled me so they can be beaten.

Cheers.

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 16F Fire Support part 3. Ready Aim Fire!

So paint job is done for both these units. They aren't stuck on the bases yet as I need to transport them home and I will do some snow on the bases as well but here's a progress shot.

I want to put a red gobo with a keg on this base to signify the brew of Keen Eyedness.
Also there should be a chain or rope between the stakes which I need to do yet.

The Gobbo that goes with this is painted I just forgot to add him when I took the pic.

Let me know what you think. I will be doing an army review as I think this army is done for now.

Stay tuned.

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 16F Fire Support part 2. here comes the Boom

Boomers and done. Some of the green stuff looks a little rough now that I have under coated them but I'm still pretty happy with how they turned out. Here's some pics, you be the judge.

There are some leaking barrels at the back of the base with flammable stuff leaking out. It doesn't really show up in this pic.

Can you guess where the inspiration came for this guy.

 All you warmachine players should pick it

GW ogres really aren't built for doing different posses.

This one is supposed to be leaning over for a big spurt.



They are undercoated now so paint should be applied tonite and more pics to follow.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 16F Fire Support part 1.

Still here slowly plugging away at my ogres. I have the Siege breaker horde 2 troops of red Gobbo scouts and a Horde of red goblins rebased. My Lord is done except for the head piece. I couldn't find anything I liked so I ordered some stuff from Horde o' bits. Not sure how long it will take for the bits to get to Oz.

Anyway here a few progress shots of the Shooter horde and a Regiment of Boomers. You warmachine players might guess where I got the idea from.

They are going to look like Jesters. I hope they turn out OK cause its not easy doing all the bits

Another angle of the Boomer

The back rank are the old shooters I had from Warhammer days.
To keep in theme they are supposed to look like archers.

This is the positioning shot with all 6 shooters.

As always feel free to comment or give some criticism.

Cheers

KGK League table for march 2016

Kooinda Gaming Klub
LEAGUE TABLES FOR MAR 16

Had a Warmachine tourney this month. Only 5 Players Turned up but it was still fun. I took the first Bye and ended up coming second by winning 1 game so that was fun. I think only Eddie and myself played KOW this month and as usual only Jay and Ado are playing X-Wing but we will have an X-Wing tourney in June so hopefully it will shake the table up a bit.

KGK League table for Warmachine. Mar 16

Tourney this month so games for everyone (That bothered to turn up). Looks like James has an impossible lead to beat.

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 16E King Wretched the Lion Eater.

Not sold on the colour scheme and the heraldry is a bit Meh! but its done for now with a few minor things to redo.




The sword is supposed to be purple. Funny what the camera sees.

There is a shield but it blocks too much of the
 mini so I may attach it to the saddle somehow

I removed the Dragon helm Crest and will replace it with a lion Crest when I find or make one.

I have more done so as soon as I get a few pics I like I'll post them.
let me know what you think.


Cheers

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 16D New Bases for some old and new friends.

Updates for the Siege Breakers plus a few other units I'm rebasing

This is the banner guy on the new base

The 3 new guys

​

My old Maneaters will make up the back rank


These guys were my scrap launchers. As per the story behind the army they are scrounged
Betonnian bits. A few war horses and a trebuchet strapped to a sleigh.

Both these units used to be one unit called the toy Knights. They are now standing in for two units of red Goblin Scouts.

More to come. I still need to flock and put snow on the bases. I have played a few games with the army and I still need to iron out the Army, but I have a ton of ogres so I'm not spoiled for choice. Feel free to drop  a comment or critisism.

​cheers

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 16C: Wretched gets a mount part 3.

He is really coming together now. I have a few minor things to do like a neck chain the reigns in his left hand and a few decorative bits but I like where this guy is going. Anyway have a look and let me know what you think.

Base is painted but I want more detail in it.

A Regal pose for a not so regal Poser.

You can see the hawk on his shoulder.
I wanted something bogger (he he) but it will do for now.

Imagine this thing charging at you.

I have to thank eddie for putting me on the Siege breakers. All my Maneaters will be converted to these guys but I may need to make a lot more. They are rock hard at 6+ to wound.

So that's it so far. A lot more stuff to do but progressing at a good pace. leave a comment even bad ones help.

Cheers

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 16B: Wretched gets a mount part 2.

More work done on this project. I finally got some plastic glue so Wretched is now fleshed out as is the base. I have nearly finished with the fur on the Rhinox. Can't say I'm 100% happy with how it turned out but once it is covered in armour and painted I'm hoping it wont be so noticeable.

Anyway here are the latest pics for your edification.

This is the base. Its 100x50mm. The bottom is made from 2mm plastic with sprue around the edge to give
the chiselled look. The main rock is made from condensed foam covered on green stuff. The other rocks
are made from the same condensed foam. I will cover this in black paint mixed with PVA to give it some
strength. I want to do a bit more like a small tree etc.I just hope I don't go over board.

Rhinox on the base for size comparison. In Warhammer all the Ogre characters had Knoblars as sword bearers or to take the first hit etc so I am going to carry this on with this guy. He will stand in for the healing item for now.

The big guy on his mount. Sword is scratch built and will have some Fleur de lis' added to it. How its made is in the Tutorial section of this blog.

Click here for How to make Plastic weapons
Click here to go to Tutorial menu.

Another angle of Sirrah Wretched. You can see from these how the body, arms
and legs have been extended to make him the biggest ogre on the block

This shows the size comparison of my ogres compared to original.
This version of Wretched is about the same size as the other version
but as he is sitting down its hard to do a direct comparison.

So next bit is the Caparison for the Rhinox. Once that's done I can put a saddle on the Rhinox and start shaping Wretched to sit properly on him.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers.

February League results

I’ll recap the rules for the league for this year as there seems to be some confusion. I’ll also try to justify why we have taken this route. Now if you feel this is a bad Idea feel free to argue your case and I will give it the consideration that it warrants. (Probably none as I have already made up my mind)

1.	Games must be played against other league players. (Last year we had a heap of games registered against randoms and most games were of little or no value, also you had players like Ado who was in an X-wing league and he was able to log a hundred games easily which no one else had a chance to compete with. So we collectively decided to keep the games in house. Now this doesn’t stop you from playing outside the Klub, in fact I encourage you to go play as many games against as many opponents as possible. But to try and get everyone involved we have decided our league is in house only.
2.	You become a league member by registering a game. So if you want to register a game with a non league player then register his/her games with yours.
3.	Each game will cost 50c to register. You can only register 4 games per month in each system. There are three tables. Warmachine, Starwars (covers all 3 games) and Kings of war.
4.	You can only log 1 game against the same opponent in each system.

Points for the following.

1.	Play a game
2.	Play the Leader. (Top of table from last month)
3.	Win against the leader
4.	Caster kill Warmachine only).
5.	Win a game.(no extra point for clocking out)
6.	Scenario win (Warmachine only)
7.	Tourney game (Mainly ours unless you play one of us in another tourney). Also points if you win a tourney or place in a tourny. 1 for a place (2nd and 3rd or just 2nd if 8 or less players.
8.	Travel, If you travel more than 20 minutes you get a point. So Ado, James, Jay and Graham. Also all the boys that went to Cancon and played games against each other. If like Ado and Jay you go to IF to play you dont get a point for travel.
9.	If you bring a new player into the league.
10.	The old usuals like fully painted army, a newly painted unit or charater, or a conversion or scenic base.

If you can think of more rules let me know.
Remember only 4 games in each system (Approx 1 per week) so pick your four best games.
Email or inbox me on Facebook with your games.

Cheers

I did a count back and it looks like jay has jumped ahead due to travel points. So unless someone else gets a game in before the end of the month it looks like Parfiet is the new King for next month. Or is that Queen?

Kort played the Efreet list 3 times and tabled all 3 armies. I'm not saying Efreet are cheaty (I am but no one will listen) but I'll leave it to the group to decide if they should be limited to 1 per army.

I know there is a tourney for KOW soon so if it’s in Feb we can log those games if the points are better for you, otherwise send me the games and I'll add them to March.

Cheers

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 15 A: I can hardly Bear it





This will probably be my last project for my troll army for awhile. Group is getting into KOW and the old tingle is starting again for many conversions.

Anyway as part of my dirty dozen list I have a battle wagon. I really don't like the one PP made. I just cant see trolls making anything that intricate and complicated. So I am going to build one that looks like a stage coach. Unfortunately I ran out of glue so the body will have to wait. In the mean time I have decided that Tuffulo's don't really fit with my theme and as one day I may buy Bearka (and resculpt the stupid looking bear) I want all mounts to be bears.

I sculpted (really converted) a few bears for the Kislev army I did a few years ago so thought I would give it a go.

So the first pic is basically the armature. I probably don't really need to use the horse body but its good for size comparison and I have a heap left over from the Kislev project.

The rough Armature. I cant do the mouth and teeth myself

(Not really a sculptor so the wolf head will suffice.)

This is what I am aiming for as an end result.

Fleshing out the body.

Front view of course.

Not sure if I will put armour all over the bear.

I may do to make him look a little larger but I think two of them should do the trick

Closer look at the finished product.

Let me know what you think. Not fussed on the fur so hopefully the next one will look a little better.

Cheers
