Orcs & Goblins Update - Night Goblins

Once again, I have to pay myself on the back for foresight of buying so many OnG models. Trawling through my stuff, I have enough NGs, both bows and spears to work various variations of list.

I do realize I have wAaaay too many models. Below are my big bags of Night Goblins. I estimate I have about 150 NG left. 

However, I have been given instructions from the team to play-test some of the proven lists and the German list with 6 Fanatics intrigues me. 

Hence, only need 2x20 NGs for use as launch pad for the fanatics. 

I am in assembly mode now and have not decided on a color scheme. I just thought of something and would prob do scarlet or scarab red for the clothing and gold/yellow trims. I can imagine it should look pretty good. 

Assembled my first Orc boar chariot as well from Mantic. Everything was snap on for the chariot and assembly was easy. But the boars had some gaps that needs filling. The yoke was also crooked but resin is easily fixed. 

Orcs & Goblins - Rock Lobba

Came back from work early today and had chance to start work on my OnG army. 

Was eager to try assembling the warmachines first and started on my two rock lobbas. 

Got these 2 from Ramshackle Games, at 10€ a piece, which is a fraction of the cost of the GW version. 

However, what u pay for is what you get. The resin they used is not your typical gray resin but brown. It's brittle, had lots of flesh which I had to carefully chip away, less risking chipping away some parts I need.

It was also tacky to touch despite buying these more than 12 month ago and washing it with soap. Made adhering more difficult than it already is. 

Parts don't fit well and some degree of cutting was necessary to get the parts to fit. Hence, you will see that none of the wheels align correctly. My only saving grace is that since this belongs to an OnG army, some degree of non-conformity is acceptable. 

Best part is, superglue does not join the parts!!! I don't know why but they just refuse to stick to each other and I had to use epoxy to get them to stick to each other. 

Not as straightforward as I initially thought. It's definitely a good deal but the quality of the model is just no where near GW. 

Now I have to bloody wait 24 hours for the epoxy to dry before priming it. 

Preparing for ETC 2014

LWith the passing of ETC 2013, it's never too late to start preparing for next year - ETC 2014. 

For the coming year, I am intending to being OnG and will be starting to build up my army. 

I'll have to start from scratch since I have no models done yet, although I have all of them. Most daunting would be the unit of 60 NGs and 35 SOBU. 

Walk the talk and I'll start today. 

Went through my boxes of stuff to gather up te nexessary stuff. As it turns out, the batch of NGs I bought couple of weeks back turned out to be what I exactly need. But still undecided to go with double hand weapon on Sobu or bow. 

Will see how it goes

Go Team Singapore

As I am typing now, ETC 2013 is in its third day and the teams are now in the pairings of the 6th and final game of the tournament. 

Due to personal reasons, I was unable to attend this year, despite having the opportunity to do so. Although, I am in Singapore, my heart has flown with the team to Novi Sad. 

Owing to excellent organization this year, the team was able to stay in constant contact over Whatsapp due to availability of Wifi at the venue. I was also able to extract individual scoresheets from each round. 

Till now, my opinion is that our strikers are not doing as well as they should. We are also not having the best of luck, having already played 3 top tier teams - Germany (Round 1), England (Round 3) and Sweden (Round 5) out of 5 games. The other two games were with Northern Ireland and Serbia. 

The game against England was particularly close with a narrow 4 pt loss. 

The team is drawn to play against Team USA in game 6. 

Edit: Game 6 is complete and we had lost to USA, dropping our ranking to 18th. 

Individual results from each game posted below.
