Orruk Ardboyz goes TOW

Posted on 24 June, 2024 by Håkan

For me TOW (The Old World) seems more interesting than Age of Sigmar, so I decided to remake my ard boyz to black orcs. I also found a few figures in the Start Collecting box that thought could be useful. So I built one Shaman/Wierdnob and three böack orcs/grunts on boars.

Cruel looking orcs on boars!

I also decided to repaint my orcs to better fit what I had in mind for my Orc TOW army.
So I used Slaughter red from Speed Paint and painted over the yellow, Leaving yellow in some areas.

I then painted weapon and other details in different colours, using black metal for the weapons and armor. I added some yellow triangels on the armor and will do that on the other ones as well.
On the boss I kept the black shoulder pads with yellow pattern. He’s the boss after all.

I’ll paint the remaining 11 orcs in the same manner and I also think the boar riders will have the same paint scheme.

I got a package from Games Workshop with stuff for my Bretonnian army.

The decals looks very nice, which is more than one can say about the boring standard boxes they send some of the stuff in.

I did some weathering with mud, sooth, black oil and chipping.
I think I’ll consider them done and will take final reveal pics asap.

My questing knights arrived today from GW. Sadly in a standard no descript box.
I opened it and cut lose the parts. The horses and bases are plastic and the knights are white metall, as can be seen in the pic.

No instructions what so ever! Not many parts so not so very hard I guess. I think I need to pin the arm on the knight in the middle.

One strange thing is that the army builder says 5 and there don’t seem to be any option to lower it. That means I should need 2 more, and I’m not sure I want another box of these!

I worked a bit with the Baron and here he’s almost done.

It wasn’t entirely straightforward assembling him and the pegasus.

Here’s a pic of the entire army.

I either had to glue the baron in the saddle or keep the backrest off while painting, and I choose the latter.

The reins wasn’t easy to get right, and I’m not sure I did, but this will do.

I painted the guns with black metal. Then the tracks got a thin layer of rust, some orange rust, and later I dry brushed with steel.

Details in red was painted on the figures, which was a bit of a strain.

I’ll paint some more small details, then I’ll check if I missed something, before putting on a clear cote. Then decals and weathering is left to do.

After masking for the red pattern in the front, they looked like small packages! 🙂

Time for some red paint.

Then off with the tape!

After some minor touching up, I started paitning the tracks.

They are small, so a bit hard to hold while painting the details. More detail painting later.

Spartan assault tanks – Legiones Astartes – Games Workshop

I bought this box together with a few other Legions Imperialis boxes. After doing my 2nd Thunderhawk build, I decided to do a few more troops/units in White Scars’s paint scheme.

I removed and cleaned up the parts for all four tanks.

As with many of GW’s newer kits, they are very easy to build, and everything goes together very smoothly, with barely no visible seams at all.

There was options for 2 different side guns and 2 main guns, as well a few otions for the command turret. I choose to have one commander and 3 gunners.

Then it was time for some primer and later some paint. Using more or less the same colours I used on the Thunderhawk.
