I never really thought I'd purchase, paint, own a 10mm Orc army. Then Wargames Atlantic comes along and released 10mm Orcs for their Fantasy Battles range. So now I own a full army....all from one box that cost less than $50!
I finished the 6 bases of Orc archers (front row behind the command bases) which effectively renders this project complete. The box provided enough figures for me to field: 6 bases of sword and shield, 3 bases of heavy axe, 3 bases of spear, 4 bases of wolf riders and 3 command stands. I still have a dozen or so loose figures that I didn't need (yet). I ordered Copplestone Castings 10mm fantasy evil characters which should be compatible in size, theme and style with the Wargames Atlantic sculpts. The plan is to include a wizard/shaman command base to the army.
I should mention that I was in Huzzah Games the other day and saw that they now have the Wargames Atlantic dwarves and undead. Since I have a box of each on the way, I opted to buy another box of Boneblades so that I can field a proper army once Wargames Atlantic released their undead cavalry.
I might fiddle around with the Boneblades now, I imagine they will paint up quick (essentially prime black, dry brush, pick out details like shields and weapons and ink).
I also plan to work on some 10mm International Brigade for the Spanish Civil War. Let's see how these next projects come along....
