It's Orctoberfest in November! Late as usual, I intended to post some Orcs during Orctober, as many Fantasy Bloggers do, but better late etc.
So here's the start to my collection of 10mm figures from Mark Copplestone (click here).

I've always been interested in the Northern bit of Christopher Tolkien's Map of Middle Earth which alludes to the deep history of his Father's creation.

Wargaming the war between Angmar and Arnor seems like a nice little project for the Winter!

Ah ah, Never ending Orctober :) Nice collection, I didn't know these figures, it must be really difficult to paint at this scale. I intended to show Orcs for Orctober too, the figs are painted but I didn't find time to take pictures. Maybe in november, as you did ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Philotep. Post the pictures in November as well - perhaps it will be a new tradition?!
DeleteAbsolutely, I will call it Norcvember :-D
DeleteNorcvembre - C'est ouf!
DeleteVery nice, another Hare and Hounds based campaign?
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark - I haven't really thought yet; it'll probably take months to get the figures painted!
DeleteThe next H&H campaign I plan to play will be a Horse & Musket period one - I've started making the "board" and will probably use my RISK figures for the 3x3 games.
Everyone loves a nice, evil greenskin 🙃🤢. Looking forward to your campaign, when you get it up and running, MJT.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin - I'll hopefully get some more figures painted sometime soonish
DeleteA great start. I look forward to seeing this interesting project develop…

Thanks Alan - I'm enjoying rereading bits of the History of Middle Earth
DeleteThe Copplestone figures are lovely, aren’t they? 😉
ReplyDeleteI am also rather fond of the old GW Warmaster figures. Some of my favourites are a bunch of goblin wolf-riders which I tend to very much think of as pseudo Mongols.
Cheers,
Geoff
Geoff, they're very nice indeed. I liked the Warmaster figures too but I only have a few Empire knights I was kindly given a few years ago.
