Dragon Rampant - Orc Armies swells!

 

Hello fellow Grognards and Young Guard!

Welcome to another installment of 'Of Dice and Army Men'!

In the past, I posted pictures of my Dragon Rampant Orc Army consisting of a large number of Chronopia Assault Orcs.  Well, the ranks continue to grow.  I just really love these Assault Orc models, so when I see them on ebay, they are rare to come by and like to rescue them (for the right price of course!).

I have added the 10 Assault Orcs below to the ranks.

The trick is adding minis to an army you painted a while back to keep colors consistent and in the same style.  I do keep a project book of color used.  Unfortunately, that army was not recorded in the book, but I did remember the limited number of paints used on these models, so off I went.  I highly recommend keeping a paint log for your projects.

Next up, in Jan 2024, I was able to finish painting my Ogre Kingdoms Army for Warhammer 6th/ 7th Edition, but not able to take pictures for posting.  I hope to have those taken and the army posted soon!

Until then, gather the forces and GAME ON!

Vampire Warband - Dragon Rampant

 Welcome Fellow Grognards and Young Guard to another post of 'Of Dice and Army Men'!

This episode, for your enjoyment, I offer the Vampire Warband for Dragon Rampant!  Inspiration for this army comes from Count Vlad in Dracula mixed with the Vampire army in one of the Underworld movies.

I've been wanting to build this army for sometime now and have been working to collect the variety of figures in the army for a very long time.

Goblin Warband - Dragon Rampant

 Welcome fellow Grognards and Yound Guard to another installment of 'Of Dice and Army Men'!

2023 has been a wonderful ride!  I've been spending a lot of time painting (need more time playing!) and knocking out armies/ warbands.  Last post I made my 50 post mark and was able to break my 2022 models painted record!  2023 is going to be a year to beat, and I'm making a serious dent in the pile of shame.

Up next, for Dragon Rampant, the Goblin Warband!  Again, as with my Dragon Rampant warbands, I try to work in as many manufacturers as possible and like to reach back to days gone by to use models no longer produced.

Hope you enjoy!

Goblin Chieftain and Bodyguard (Heavy Foot) ... 6 pts  (Heartbreaker & Chronopia)

Goblin Shaman (Light Foot/ Wizardling) ... 5 pts. (Reaper Miniatures)

Until then, GAME ON!
