While the painting of Uzgrim's all-Marauder Orc army has been on hold of late -- pushed out of the limelight by a move to second edition Blood Bowl -- I've been keeping my eyes out for the few Marauder Orcs I'm missing and this last week I've picked up two which are sufficiently odd to deserve sharing here. May I present, <b>Orc 9</b> and <b>Orc 17</b> from the November 1988 Mail Order Flyer...<br />
<br />
Orc 9 is a curious chap, mainly because he appears to be from outer space (more specifically, from the Warhammer 40,000 universe).<br />
<br />

His fate in my Warhammer army remains undecided. He either (a) hides discreetly in the middle ranks of a large unit of Orc warriors, or (b) he stands proud as a time-travelling Shaman whose magics are perhaps simply the result of his high-tech equipment. Votes please...<br />
<br />
Orc 17 is a classic. Here he is:<br />

His 'axes-akimbo' stance appears to be based on Jes Goodwin's classic Chaos Warrior Slambo which was released, I think, in 1986 (though I'm unsure as to the respective dates at which these two were sculpted so that's pure speculation - perhaps someone reading knows?). There's just one odd thing - he's tiny - think 'large goblin' and you'll have it about right (that's a 20mm base he's on there). Small though he is, I think he's fantastic. What he lacks in stature he makes up for in chutzpah and he's destined for the front ranks.<br />
<br />
There are still a couple of Orcs missing from the ranks so the hunt continues...<br />

<b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Uzgrim's story...</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Rotgut shifted his grip on his war mace, its blood stained
shaft familiar in his scarred hands. He looked across the filth of the camp to
see Uzgrim, the Marauders’ hulking warlord, picking at the remains of a spit
roasted sheep surrounded by his favoured warriors. Nazdreg was there, as was
the stupendously foolish Naznob, the leader of the newly recruited Snortas. As far as
Rotgut was concerned Naznob's Snortas were pig-loving glory hunters.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>‘Oi, Boss!’<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Uzgrim looked up, his heavy chin thick with mutton grease.
And worse. Rotgut opened his mouth wide, baring sharp yellowing teeth, laughing
long and hard.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>‘It's time that you wasn't da boss no more.’<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Uzgrim had known this was coming. If not from Rotgut, then
from another ingrate upstart. Having dragged his Marauders over the Middle Mountains they'd run into some dirty beard-wearing
Northmen, fresh of the boat smelling of salt water and blood. Orc blood. Too
much orc blood. In fact, in their three bloody meetings Uzgrim had been bested
every time and now his own boys were beginning to doubt him. But fighting for
position was part of the job, a good part. ‘It's a…’ thought Uzgrim, ‘a
meritocra… a merit…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gah… Survival of the
watzzit… Meanest.’<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Uzgrim took a final bite of the greasy meat, throwing the
bones to the snotlings lurking in the trees at <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the edges of the camp. Getting to his feet,
unarmed and leisurely, he stepped up to Rotgut, disdaining the heavy bladed
choppa offered up by Malfang. To take it would be to admit weakness, fear.
Malfang, his personal standard bearer and long term ally, would know this,, the
gesture more a test of his leadership than an offer of support. Malfang’s
loyalty would last no longer than Uzgrim's strength.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>A ragged circle of boyz formed, hooting, jeering, spitting
and laughing. Rotgut raised his mace in the air, barking out a guttural challenge,
jabbing a thick finger into Uzgrim’s chest. </i><i>The import of the gesture was clear and Uzgrim's response
was instant. His forehead connecting with the bridge of Rotgut’s stub nose. The
blow had little effect beyond rocking Rotgut’s head back. It was all the
opening Uzgrim needed, his tusk-like teeth tearing a ragged hole in his
opponent’s thick neck. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Rotgut slumped to
the blood soaked ground, his challenge undone.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Uzgrim looked over at Naznob, the boar rider looking on at the bloody scene unmoved. ‘Feed him to the pigs.’</i><o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">The truth…<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Behind this clunky story lies a germ of gaming truth written
on the grassy (tablecloth) plains in what my boys call ‘Daddy’s playroom’. It's
a painful truth. In five games of third ed. Warhammer, itself a painful if
rewarding learning experience, Uzgrim’s Marauders have won precisely no
battles. Admittedly the first, against a skeleton horde, might have just about
gone their way but since then things have gone downhill fast. The next three
games saw Uzgrim take on a Norse warband. In the first he drove his chariot
straight off the table (thanks to a massively buffed Stampede spell. (The
lessons learned. We decided to limit modifications to magic saving throws to
just one point to avoid auto success).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next was closer, this time we had the help of a neutral third-party force made up of black orcs and ogres who tied up the Norse for a while.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the third encounter with the Norsemen Uzgrim <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>recruited a giant, a move countered by the
Norsemen dragging along a huge unit of Fimir. When the giant rocked up drunk
things looked bad and they got worse as the unit of two stone throwers was put
out of action by Winds of Magic. Uzgrim's lesson - don't put too many eggs in one basket...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the final battle, Uzgrim found himself facing an Undead gun
line. This was an uphill struggle from turn one. The giant’s
second drunken appearance didn't help… The lesson from that one? Maybe use
advance forces? Perhaps bring in the victory points conditions to give more static lists a reason to
leave the deployment zone. And maybe leave the giant at home, drunk side-changing
monsters sound hilarious but actually aren't that entertaining if they happen
to be on your side, twice! Uzgrim, who thinks Giants look very cool, thinks a
better strategy might be to bring two along…<o:p></o:p></div>

While Uzgrim may have survived this time, the boys won't be
giving him another chance. If the Marauders don't see victory in their next
outing his fight for leadership is going to take place on the tabletop. Dice
and heads will roll. Matt, if you're reading, you'll be rolling for the
challenger... Could this be the end of Uzgim? Only time will tell!<o:p></o:p></div>

I <i>need</i> (actually need) some more of these boys. Not because the completist in my knows that there are many more to collect but because I didn't think about how they'd rank up when I based the boars. Having put them all roughly level on the bases it turns out that boyz's arms stick out too far so I need about another three boars to base further back on the bases to space them out.<br />
<br />
So, if anyone has any boars to sell/trade please do get in touch.<br />

Oddly the picture doesn't show anything close to is listed as being in the army, I can only assume that they didn't have the models painted, so I'm not entirely sure what the army would have looked like. The good news is that I fully intend to find out how that lot looks (though it could take some time). The other thing I spotted that disappointed me is that unlike Uzgrim's army this lot don't have named characters and units, hopefully I'll find that in another issue of WD when I have time to look.<br />
<br />
I've begun with the pikemen which are my absolute favourites of the range. This lot just bagged on ebay for more slightly than I'd hoped to spend...<br />

The banner is an attempt to replicate the original paper banner, this time onto a plastic banner that I cannibalised from some plastic goblins. I'm fairly pleased with how it came out though I think I need to be bolder with my colour choices as it looks a little more muted than I'd hoped. Here's the original, it's much brighter than mine.</div>

Uzgrim's Marauders featured in White Dwarf 123 where they were given a brief background story and showcased in all their glory as a fabulous army deal that came in at £70 including postage. Looking at the contents of a parcel that cost not much less than that (and which contains just few of these models) I rather wish I'd invested at the time (though I'd almost certainly lost them by now).<br />
<br />
WD123 some great close-ups of the unit making up the army. As you can see the whole range wasn't used so there are quite a few more duplicate poses than I'll be collecting.<br />

What I'm wondering is who wrote that text and who painted the models? If anyone can help answer those questions I'd really like to know the answers. Not least because I need some more Orc names for my other heroes and I think it'd be grand to ask the original writer for some suggestions.</div>

ORCTOBER FEST 2014 is well and truly behind us, even NORCvember is rapidly coming to a close so it seems like high time that I showed everyone how (not very) far I've got with my Orc army. This is how far:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To add to the thousand words painted by the picture above - that's 20 Orc boys, a chariot, a stone thrower and a goblin shaman on a giant spider with bright yellow hazard stripes on its legs. I had hoped to get another unit done (the Arrer Boys are next) but this is all I could manage in the last couple of months. Still, it's not a bad start and it's given me plenty of excuse to return to the ebay hunting grounds where I'm hoping to find the missing infantry and the start of the cavalry...<br />
<br />
Time for some close ups. First up, the Orc Warriors (MB2 and MM25) who are the Big 'uns in my army. <span style="text-align: center;">Apologies for the very yellow picture, things get a little better in a moment... </span><br />

The banner is a slight conversion, it's a plastic Orc banner pinned to the Marauder banner pole and painted to look as close to the original Nardreg banner as I could manage. Here's the original from <i>White Dwarf </i>133 (i<span style="text-align: center;">f anyone knows who painted that army I'd love to know)</span>:</div>

Next up, my Goblin Shaman. This little dude caused havoc in my game last week, spitting out crazy magic from the top of a tree.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And onto the Chariot. Again, a fairly quick paintjob but I reckon it looks ok (though the grass on the front of the base looks very odd in this picture):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
And finally, the stone thrower. I planned to make a base that would accommodate the crew but ended up with this 60mm sentinel base which fits pretty nicely:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Of course I'm nowhere near finished. My next painted unit should be 20 orc archers but I have a feeling that plan might be interrupted as I've just picked up a very cool Goblin shaman that looks like it'll be really nice to paint up. More on that in the next post...<br />

So, it's still Orctober. I've been working on my Marauder Orcs for a week now, sneaking in about an hour of painting each evening in an attempt to get the army finished. For some unknown reason I decided I'd paint them all at once. I've never painted a whole army in a single batch and I'll be honest and say that it is about as much (or little) fun as you'd expect. In seven days I've added a few models to the army (3 goblin fanatics) painted the bases of over 100 models, painted and inked the metals on 60 orcs, and begun slapping some green on the orcs (just 16 to go....)<br />
<br />
Here's how things look at this point.<br />
<br />
First BATCH ONE, the orc contingent (they're getting the painting love right now):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhym4xEONaXefGw-I_ZMy8hvFGGtF5qxS3eEORgoLEREzmVSvpKGokrDDvXMPLZT4BhoovdF_myUKezUsmo1wM6IockexOmnJ7WC-WarJN9QAghXGF9hFDLkfk2WxqaJ7_cZv7xLa_ML0/s1600/P1030361.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhym4xEONaXefGw-I_ZMy8hvFGGtF5qxS3eEORgoLEREzmVSvpKGokrDDvXMPLZT4BhoovdF_myUKezUsmo1wM6IockexOmnJ7WC-WarJN9QAghXGF9hFDLkfk2WxqaJ7_cZv7xLa_ML0/s1600/P1030361.JPG" height="200" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
And BATCH TWO, Gobbos:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyRV5tahHHgQwui5fVCanwoCSHwDLDgs4KCzHulL4UiozMExjDJkA6Lhu49aSJxYsp1O519VybJXkzaDWsShF2xN-lgOJSiXw544_wnUZ6iIN61mMpV8dNLIGWWoYoLzdvJPHsnfwGy98/s1600/P1030362.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyRV5tahHHgQwui5fVCanwoCSHwDLDgs4KCzHulL4UiozMExjDJkA6Lhu49aSJxYsp1O519VybJXkzaDWsShF2xN-lgOJSiXw544_wnUZ6iIN61mMpV8dNLIGWWoYoLzdvJPHsnfwGy98/s1600/P1030362.JPG" height="225" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The next week should see me get the rest of the orcs painted green, inked (green ink is the last of the 'messy stages' before I start having to be careful where I put the paint), and I hope I'll get at least one more colour in them (either red which is going to be the detail colour, or brown on the wood and the various pouches which to me really are one of the defining features of Oldhammer lead models - clearly Orcs in the 80s like to carry their cash with them...<br />
<br />
I'll end by revealing 'DA PLAN' as it currently stands. I'm going to aim to finish the entire army (70 orcs, 40 goblins, two rock lobbers, a giant, a wyvern, and other bits and bobs) by Christmas. To keep my motivation up (and to stop me painting my outlaw gang for Dead Man's Hand) I'm mulling over the idea of putting together an Oldhammer invasion of Warhammer World sometime in January. I reckon a bunch of us playing Third Edition with some classic lead would make for a great day out. Any takers?pwhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00458088323671181623noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693079614785338584.post-55903717727254195962014-10-05T14:30:00.001-07:002014-10-05T14:32:48.066-07:00Orctober Fest!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's <a href="http://ernysplace.blogspot.fr/2014/10/orctober.html" target="_blank">ORCTOBER</a>! The stars have aligned, Mork and Gork have announced the Waaagh!, or the Waaarr!, or perhaps none of those things depending on how Old your Oldhammer is. What is for sure is that Erny, of the excellent <a href="http://ernysplace.blogspot.fr/" target="_blank">Erny's Place</a>, has brought Orctober back for a second outing and I'm delighted to be jumping aboard.<br />
<br />
My Orctober involves starting putting some paint on this lot...<br />

<br />
These chaps are all Marauder miniatures and I've done next to nothing beyond basing them with Vallejo pumice and spraying them with Halford's car primer.<br />
<br />
Perhaps of interest is this chap, one of my Black Orcs who has suffered the indignity of a weapon swap. When I'm done with the unit there will be ten models and as there are only four poses six will undergo similar mutilation. Cutting up old lead feels a bit odd (thankfully one came from ebay broken!) but I don't fancy a unit of identical models. Oh, and if the arm looks massive, well, it is, but the angle of the picture isn't helping much!<br />

So, that's the start of my Orctober, at the rate I paint I'll be going on through Norcvember, Dorcember, Janorcy, Feborcy, Morch, Aporcil... And the rest... It's going to be a green yearpwhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00458088323671181623noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693079614785338584.post-68980000513024100382014-09-28T14:37:00.000-07:002014-09-28T14:37:16.921-07:00The Dragon Zoo...Over the past few years some of my Citadel dragons have been re-homed, moving from the darkness of my figure cases onto a windowsill at my mum's house. Today Mum gave me some pictures of the dragon zoo. If the figures aren't Oldhammer enough, surely having Mum taking the pictures for me is! Anyway, without further ado, 'ere be dragons...<br />

The 2014 Bloodweiser 6 nations took place last weekend, all of the coaches made it (despite one broken clutch and a trip to Halfords) and a winner was crowned after three rounds of Blood Bowl mayhem. I present the results, for anyone who is interested:<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Round One: Multiball</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Gouged Eye (Orc) 1(0) v 2 (2) <span style="color: red;"><b>Blockholm Syndrome</b> </span>(Norse)<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">The Grim Readers</span></b> (Dwarf) 3 (1) v 1 (0) Hashtut's Hell Hammers (Chaos Dwarf)<br />
Horton Hears a Human (Human) 2 (1) v 4 (3) <b><span style="color: red;">High Fidelfity</span></b> (High Elf)<br />
<br />
<i>In terms of the three themed rounds, this was everyone's favourite. Multiball was loads of fun and made for really interesting games. It took me too long to realise that attack was the best form of defence! The most surprising thing was seeing the Dwarf team get 3 wins in a round that everyone thought would cause them no end of problems. Only a couple of rules questions came up: 1) Can a player carrying a ball move through a square containing the other ball. NO. 2) What happens if the ball lands on a player carrying the other ball. SCATTER IT.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>So, round one ended with High Fidelfity in the lead on tournament points...</i><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Round Two: Spiked ball</span></b><br />
<br />

Horton Hears a Human (Human) 1 (2) v 1 (2) Blockholm Syndrome (Norse)<br />

The Gouged Eye (Orc) 0 (0) v 1 (0) <b><span style="color: red;">Hashtut's Hell Hammers</span></b> (Chaos Dwarf)<br />
<br />
<i>Round two and it was spikey ball time. Just as the Dwarves bucked the trend by scoring high in round one, here the elves dealt out a massive dose of the smack down to the dwarf team leaving the Grim Readers with next to no players on the pitch... I managed what I think is a personal first in 'deciding' to leave three players off for the pitch on defence. As the scoreline shows, that didn't go at all well! The spiked ball was reasonably entertaining, best really when the ball went loose and bounced through various players, otherwise the effect on game play wasn't that dramatic really.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>High Fidelfity maintained the lead here, picking up the win and bonus points for casualties.</i><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Round Three: Pit traps</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Horton Hears a Human (Human) 0 (0) v 3 (5) <b><span style="color: red;">Hashtut's Hell Hammers</span></b> (Chaos Dwarf)<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Blockholm Syndrome </span></b>(Norse) 2 (4) v 1 (0) High Fidelfity (High Elf)<br />
The Grim Readers (Dwarf) 1 (0) v 2 (3) <b><span style="color: red;">The Gouged Eye</span></b> (Orc)<br />
<br />
<i>I liked the pit trap round, with the bonus points for pushing players into pits this was a pretty entertaining variant. In terms of rules to clarify, we decided 1) that players could attempt to blitz out of pits (losing the blitz if they failed to get out, 2) that players didn't have to make dodge rolls on the move getting them out of pits, 3) that getting out of pits cost 3 movement, 4) that only one armour roll is made for falling into a pit (i.e. don't roll for the knock down and then the pit fall, 5) that only one player could be pushed into a pit (count it as an occupied square for pushes).</i><br />

The tournament win was given on points (and not on the result of the game on table one in the final round) and Barney's <b>High Fidelfity</b> took a well-deserved win.<br />
<br />
The day was rounded off with a curry and a game of <i>Talisman</i>. Of course this was the real test of skills and I totally walked it thanks to a combination of a troll with a magic sword that leeched so much life from my adversaries that really I had no option but to take the crown. I'll admit that I'd rather be good at BB than lucky at <i>Talisman</i>, but it made for a nice chilled out end to the day's gaming.<br />

Preparations are now well underway for the Bloodweiser 6 Nations (and a good job too, it's next week). Playtesting last week indicated that pit trap-spiky-multiball mayhem is a goer, and painting tonight sorted the balls and the trophy. Up top you can see the trophy, nothing too fancy but I reckon it'll do just fine for the home-brew tournament that's on the horizon. And here's Varag, taking great delight in showing off his (three) spiky balls -<br />

You know it's a good day at work when you get to spend a couple of hours reading <i>Warlock Magazine</i>... that's how my day ended today, reading all thirteen issues as background reading for an article I'm working on. For anyone who doesn't know, <i>Warlock</i> was the magazine of Jackson and Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks, first published by Penguin and later by Games Workshop. Offering a slightly off-kilter view of GW's early history it makes for a very entertaining read (and thankfully it can all be found online very easily).<br />

<div>
<br />
While the useful material for my work came in the letters pages, there's masses here to look at for the Oldhammer fan. Rick Priestley's articles and the full games included in the later issues are well worth a look. It was the adverts that really caught my attention. First, this one from issue 11 which shows the early ambitions of GW as the games shop that had it all:</div>

<br />
The date for the Bloodweiser 6 Nations is set. On September 20th, six teams will meet on the Blood Bowl field to see who has what it takes to lift the <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(very small) </span>trophy. Will the Orcs, Dark Elves, Humans, Norse, Dwarfs, or High Elves take the title? Only time will tell...<br />
<br />
The three-game 'tournament' (a term I use very loosely) will be played using the current LRB6 rules, with a randomly matched first game and Swiss-style for games two and three. In line with the wishes of the sponsors, who demand nothing but all-out carnage, each game will be slightly different. All of these variants reprise the variants from the <i>Blood Bowl Companion</i>, with very minor tweaks to the rules to bring them to the modern-day BB field.<br />

<br />
Each coach places six pit trap counters (3 nothing, 2 pit traps, 1 spiked pit) face down in their half of the pitch. <i>Players should not look to see which counter is which!</i><br />
<br />
When a player moves onto a square containing a counter turn it over. <i><span style="color: red;">Nothing:</span></i> Discard 'nothing' counters. <i><span style="color: red;">Pit:</span></i> Fall in, make Armour roll to avoid injury. <i><span style="color: red;">Spiked pit:</span></i><span style="color: red;"> </span>roll D6. On a 1-2 roll another D6 (1-4 = SI, 5-6 = Dead). On a 3-6 = make armour roll to avoid injury.<br />
<br />
Players in pits lose their tackle zones and can't move, block or tackle. They can't be blocked/tackled.<br />
<br />
Climbing out. Make an agility roll with +1 for every friendly player adjacent to the pit and -1 for every opposing player adjacent to the pit. If a player fails they remain in the pit. If they were attempting to climb out of a spiked pit roll a D6, on a 1 or a 2 they are seriously injured. Falling back into a pit does not cause a turnover. At the end of a drive all players climb out of pits ready for set up.<br />
<br />
Players with the leap skill can attempt to leap over pits (whether they are revealed or not). If the leap roll is failed they fall over in the square they were leaping to. If the leap roll is a natural roll of a 1 they fall into the square they were leaping over (unless it is occupied). If the square contains a pit trap they fall in.<br />
<br />
Players can be pushed into pits. Casualties caused in this way do count towards SPPs. Pit traps count as empty squares for pushbacks so can <i>always</i> be selected as the target squares for pushes. Only roll once for armour when players fall into a pit (i.e. they don't roll for the initial block and then the fall).<br />
<br />
If a ball lands in a square containing an uncovered pit marker it does not result in the counter being turned over. If the ball lands in a square containing a revealed pit (including a pit with a player in it) scatter the ball - fortune (or magic) prevent it from falling in.<br />

<br />
Throwing ranges increased by one category. No Longbombs.<br />
<br />
Catching spiky balls is dangerous. If a player fails a catch or pick up roll they must make an armour roll with a +1 modifier.<br />
<div>
<br />
The ball can be thrown to empty square but this will cause a turnover as per the normal rules.</div>
<div>
<br />
The ball can be thrown at opposing players (quick/short pass only). If the pass is accurate the player must make an armour roll with a +1 modifier. If the armour roll is passed the player may roll to catch the ball (with no modifiers for accuracy). If the armour roll is failed roll on the injury table: if this results in the player leaving the pitch place the ball in the square they occupied. If the player remains on the pitch scatter the ball from their square as if they had failed a catch roll.</div>

<br />
<b><br /></b>
Simple - there are two balls in play. Either can be used to score, once a touchdown has been scored set up the teams for the next drive (i.e. don't play on with the remaining ball). Players cannot carry two balls (including mutants with three arms)!<br />
<ol>
<li>Both teams, beginning with the kicking team, place a ball in the opposing team's half.</li>
<li>Scatter both balls. <i>There is no touchback in Multiball... </i>so place carefully! It entirely possible for one team to have both balls!</li>
<li>Roll on kick off table.</li>
<li>Resolve result (if High Kick is rolled apply the result to both teams).</li>
<li>Bounce/catch/touchback both balls.</li>
</ol>

I like to tell myself that I'm not actually buying anything much at the moment but one look at the incoming post this last week or so suggests that I'm not being entirely honest with myself... Here's the swag:</div>

So what's there? The mighty trio of rulebooks (this copy of WFB can replace my own slightly wonky copy and the other two mean an end of reading PDFs), the two Marauder Orcs complete my set and I think bring the unit up to a respectable ten (there's converting to be done to make sure the unit doesn't look too samey as there are only 4 poses), the titan gets to join my titan legion as the second Warlord (entirely unneeded for games really), and the Blood Bowl Minotaur is... well, he's a seed for a team I don't yet have. Either Chaos Dwarf or Chaos Pact I expect and of course his presence in the leadpile means that I 'need' the other 15 players.<br />
<br />
All of this good stuff has me doing the same happy dance that you can see being demonstrated by the titan above. Tell me I'm not the only one trying to intercept the postman before he alerts the rest of the house to what's going on...pwhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00458088323671181623noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693079614785338584.post-4380548016038763202014-08-30T11:59:00.003-07:002014-08-30T12:05:07.393-07:00Blood Bowl Fans...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My ultimate aim is to paint up a stand full of Blood Bowl fans,
picking up and painting up models that fit the theme. My inspiration is this
picture from Star Players. I doubt I'll get a popkhorne-eating Great Unclean
One but who knows. The first fans to arrive are these two snotlings who seem to
have got themselves drunk on Orca-Cola...<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The paintjob was quick but I challenged myself to paint the Orca Cola logo, which was based on </span><a href="http://www.talkfantasyfootball.org/viewtopic.php?t=20178" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" target="_blank">Sp0ns’s Blood BowlAdvertisements on Talkfantasyfootball</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">.

As with other Bob Olley sculpts the detail is fairly exaggerated, something I found a bit off-putting when they were released but which I find increasingly appealing today. Certainly there's something a little different about painting an Olley figure, and I hope I've done this one justice.</div>

Grogat Crunchskull first appeared in <i>White Dwarf</i> 113, going on to be immortalized as
a Star Player in issue 114. As you can see I went for a much darker skin tone hoping it would contrast well with the red and white team colours. I'm pretty pleased but the bright green skin of the 'Eavy Metal version (left) is great and the black armour matches the Star Player perfectly. I wonder which came first? Card or 'Eavy Metal paint job? And does anyone know who painted this one?<br />

<span lang="EN-US">Under the current version of the Living
Rulebook (is it LRB6, I lose track?) Grogat doesn’t exist as an official star
player (the only troll star player is Ripper Bolgrot) which makes me feel just
slightly better about having painted him in the Red and White of the Gouged
Eye. No doubt Gort Severlimb, the Gouged Eye’s Coach, tempted him away
freebooter circuit by offering more snotlings than he could eat… Here's the original star player card:<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US">There are two other Bob Olley Blood Bowl
trolls, both ‘unreleased’ though fairly easy to find on ebay. The
imaginatively-monikered Troll Player 2 plays for my third edition Orc team, The
Orkward B*stards (he's the chap on the left, you can see my usual darker painting style here - this coupled with my poor photography makes him look very gloomy!).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I do wonder why these two weren't released, anyone know? And as they weren't released, how come so many are out there?</div>

In <i>White Dwarf </i>101 the Gouged Eye feature as part of a Jim and Bob commentary introducing Blood Bowl 2ed. Curiously they appear to be sporting the yellow and black of the Orcland Raiders (could Jim and Bob have been mistaken!):<br />

<span lang="EN-US">Did you know all that? I didn’t. The lesson? The lesson is that had I undertaken this relatively painless bit of research before painting my team I’d have numbered and named the players correctly. As it is all I can say is that the team featured in this blog is the Gouged Eye as they stand in 2514. It goes without saying that Coach Severlimb would have made a number of changes to the roster in the 25 years that have passed since this team profile was made back in 2489!</span><br />

<br />
As something of a test for painting the Marauder Orc army that is currently sitting in an old margarine tub, my Oldhammer Odyssey began with me painting up a second edition Orc Blood Bowl team in an attempt to recapture the style of the original (Old-bowl?) style of bright colours that typified the game in the late 80s and which is a world apart from the grimy style I've tended to favour over the past 10 years of so (who knew I had a style!).<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
With the job of picking up a team of Kev Adam's wonderful Orcs quickly despatched thanks to a combination of friends on <a href="http://www.talkfantasyfootball.org/index.php?sid=c53c933c57a0947b4c6ca1d4afbab9e4" target="_blank">TalkFantasyFootball</a> and <a href="http://www.tritex-games.co.uk/" target="_blank">Tritex Games</a>, the next job was getting them painted up. Here's how they turned out:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuih3I3YNr7zJKYS2wQ9l3w3K5Rg6X-dpLZeyFCDgIFFYWdN-mztZ3nCb3FF_ZiOig96YTTj4Lil-Dub_k5uKzZivEiuXgcBf_B7zbr2U7BtfXPgCoVZPq06GvXknNFKFHAxLpRmn2PHo/s1600/P1020841.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuih3I3YNr7zJKYS2wQ9l3w3K5Rg6X-dpLZeyFCDgIFFYWdN-mztZ3nCb3FF_ZiOig96YTTj4Lil-Dub_k5uKzZivEiuXgcBf_B7zbr2U7BtfXPgCoVZPq06GvXknNFKFHAxLpRmn2PHo/s1600/P1020841.JPG" height="132" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Before I started I set myself a few 'rules' as to what might constitute Oldhammer painting. I came up with the following guidelines:<br />
<ol>
<li>A white undercoat (a most terrifying prospect)</li>
<li>Bright clean colours</li>
<li>Black lining</li>
<li>Black base edges (I considered Goblin Green but that didn't work for me)</li>
<li>(perhaps most important) Paint fast. As a 16-year old I'd finish whatever figures I bought on the same day as I got them home. For this project I allowed myself five days.</li>
<li>Old paint. Not essential to my mind (I'm not a archeo-painter by any means) but as an Oldhammer bonus I did find a pot of Sunburst Yellow with which to dot their eyes. </li>
</ol>
<div>
The paint scheme was very simple indeed (I replicate it here just in case it's helpful to someone, not because it's anything special or surprising):</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Red: </b>GW Khorne Red, GW Mephiston Red, GW Mephiston + GW Wild Rider (a red mix from the <a href="http://taleofpainters.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/tutorial-how-to-paint-dark-angels-from.html" target="_blank">Tale of Painters guide to painting Dark Angels</a>)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>White: </b>GW Space Wolves Grey, White</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Flesh: </b>GW Warboss Green, GW Thraka Green Wash, GW Warboss, GW Skarsnik, GW Skarsnik + Screaming Skull</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Metals: </b>VMC Oily Steel, GW Badab Black Wash, VMC Oily Steel, GW Mithril Silver</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Browns: </b>GW Scorched Brown, VMC Saddle Brown</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Black Lining: </b>VGC Black Ink</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Bases: </b>here I used a slightly dumbed-down version of BlueinVT's basing method - VMC Khaki, AP Strong Tone, VMC Khaki, VMC Buff. The grasses are GF9 Parched Straw and Spring Undergrowth. There's a really excellent description of basing on Blue's blog here: <a href="http://bluesmarauders.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/hello-all-over-last-couple-of-months.html">http://bluesmarauders.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/hello-all-over-last-couple-of-months.html</a></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally, a partial gift from one of my earliest BB opponents, I got hold of a second edition pitch and painted it up in the same colours as the bases:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpYsj4D03PWd_-vPYL5hvlsym4r4AsHc5msBcF1QEjJiCxGWcVuXChxGc9V3ebXJG3fFgU9kp_J4-drXRgNu8NUa3NCaZgxjf27AqlSwnZpYTwhdFADEoZ-RE_hVXVXS_0wqkhRWK17Mc/s1600/P1020845.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpYsj4D03PWd_-vPYL5hvlsym4r4AsHc5msBcF1QEjJiCxGWcVuXChxGc9V3ebXJG3fFgU9kp_J4-drXRgNu8NUa3NCaZgxjf27AqlSwnZpYTwhdFADEoZ-RE_hVXVXS_0wqkhRWK17Mc/s1600/P1020845.JPG" height="206" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm still wondering if I should paint up the skull in the centre. Or maybe just the letters. Feedback so far seems to say... maybe! Having played on the pitch a couple of times I do know that the squares on the skull need to be more defined so that's now on the to-do list. The only irritation with this pitch (beyond the fact that there isn't quite enough room to lie stunned figures down) is that the throwing template is slightly out of scale with the current rules. There are lots of work-arounds for this but I still want to make a template that scales to this pitch perfectly. One for the 'to do' list...<br />
<br />
So, is this Oldhammer enough? The miniatures are the right vintage, their sculptor is a recognised master. But what about the painting? I'm wondering what exactly Oldhammer painting might mean, I'll be giving the issue some thought over the coming days and I'd welcome any suggestions as to what it means to you.<br />
<br />
For once I'm sticking to my plan to complete one project before beginning another so my next couple of painting sessions will see me throw some paint onto a few more Orcs, Goblins and a Troll before I start the Marauder Orc army I showed off in my last post.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Back in March I decided to collect a Marauder Orc army and at that time I
said (<a href="http://pw2gaming.blogspot.de/2014/03/oldhammer-orcs.html#more" target="_blank">on my-other-blog</a>)</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> that I’d<i>

pocket-money budget of £20 a month and to try to paint as I go along’. </span></i><span style="background: rgb(254, 253, 250); color: #333333; font-family: Calibri;">What absolute rubbish
that turned out to be. Four months and quite a few ebay tokens later and I’d
amassed a rather healthy looking pile of lead. Of course none of it has been
anywhere near my painting station. Thanks to Orlygg's post I decided that the best use of my evening tonight was to set the army up:</span></div>

<i>White Dwarf</i> 92
was the first issue of Games Workshop’s long-running gaming magazine that I read. Published
in August 1987 this means two things. First, I’d managed to miss the first ten
years of the magazine (issue one was published in June/July 1977) and second
I’d hit the sweet spot of GW’s creativity with a host of fantastic (pun noticed
if not intended) games on the immediate horizon including the all-new <i>Warhammer 40,000 - Rogue Trader </i>and<i> </i>the seminal third edition of <i>Warhammer
Fantasy Battle </i>along with a supporting cast that would include <i>Warhammer Armie</i>s, <i>Slaves to Darkness</i>, <i>Adeptus Titanicu</i>s, <i>Blood Bowl
2ed</i>, <i>Dark Future</i>, and <i>Space Hulk</i>…</div>

My current gaming interests are largely
retrospective and the time-circuits of my DeLorian are set to 1987-1990. Rather
appropriately, back in 1987 Graeme Davis, answering readers’ letters in WD92,
found himself responding to complaints that the magazine was in decline: ‘It’s
a funny thing,’ he wrote, ‘but the best issues are always a year or eighteen
months ago, and the current ones pale by comparison.’ <span lang="EN-US"><i>Plus </i></span><i><span lang="EN-US">ç</span><span lang="EN-US">a change</span></i><span lang="EN-US">...</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">This should all
make some sense of the blog title, <b>WD-92</b>. It’s not particularly subtle. Though
I was rather pleased to discover that WD-40 (my second favorite lube after
GT-85) describes itself as a ‘Multi-Use Product’ because that’s how I remember
<i>White Dwarf</i> and how I hope this blog will develop. For future readers, this
means, by way of a prophetic contents page, that my future ramblings will
likely focus on <i>Blood Bow</i>l, <i>Warhammer Third Edition</i>, <i>Dark Future</i>, and <i>Epic
Armageddon</i>. The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noted the anachronism that is
‘<i>Epic Armageddon</i>’ in the list. Not S<i>pace Marine</i> or <i>Adeptus Titanicus</i> (though I
played both and may again). Heresy perhaps, but for me <i>EA</i> is the better game.
As, again <i>for me</i>, is the current version of <i>Blood Bowl</i>. Not everything gets
worse, even to the mind of a self-professed lead-luddite. For this I crave your
pardon. You can always skip those bits, or tell me why I’m wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Finally, in
this post about nothing, what makes the <b>WD-92</b> banner symbolic of what Oldhammer
means to me, is something you can’t actually see. What you can’t see is that it
was created by someone I’ve never met in the expectation of nothing in return.
Thanks <b>Mortis Logan</b>. Oldhammer, it seems, is about community and generosity as
much as it is about any particular ruleset or collection of miniatures. But
enough of that jibber-jabber, the next post promises to be all about a
particular ruleset and collection of miniatures: <i>Blood Bowl</i>…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
