Unfortunately due to family life keeping me out till early morning I was unable to try the new troops on the battlefield but I have them photographed for you here:
First the four foot troops – three with ‘hide’ covered shields and one with a wooden shield. These are the £5 pack from GW and are pretty dull for details but good as ‘bulk’ troops or in this case the main troops for SBH as a low cost entry point.
Backing these guys up is an old savage orc shaman that I painted many years ago.
One of the largest models I have is the Orc leader – a fair hunk of metal to place on any table top and one of my favourite figures that I have painted.
The option I am looking at is to use the Shaman as a summoner so I purchased the small box of skeletons and used a basic wash over white and dry brushed to bring up the details. Very happy with figures though the poses are limited to one! Not a patch on the new Mantic figures but for a £1 each I’m happy
Given these where an impulse purchase during a day off (some of the Christmas Holidays) and took less than a day from start to end I am very happy with the results and look forward to using them in anger. I had not planned to spend any money on figures till Vapnartak but I did get them finished and not dropped into the lead pile so I do not feel bad about this!
