Here is a small Goblin scout unit intended for Dragon Rampant. They are older LOTR Moria Goblins with Oathmark Shields swapped in. I've based them in an experimental 3-2-1 formation for dioramic effects and reduce figure movement while still allowing the exact number of casualties to be removed.
They will join my longer term "Romanised Orcs" project which is a bit of fun and may see some other units during the challenge. Orci Invicti!

Ha! 'Romanized Orcs' indeed. I think these greenskins are excellent, Paul, and especially like how their red jerkins and shields contrast against your snow-swept tundra terrain. Very eye catching. I also like your idea of 'making change' with the base compositions - a great idea for skirmish troops which typically don't need to be as formed up as their heavier line cousins.
A well-earned 30 points for your efforts, Paul - Nicely done!
Nice job... good call to shift focus
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Paul :)
ReplyDeleteGood work Paul!
ReplyDeleteReally nice work Paul!
ReplyDeleteLove these romanized Orks Paul! Proof that a classical education can tame even the most savage of us.
ReplyDeleteNice work Paul.

Cracking work Paul!
ReplyDeleteI really like your Romanised Orcs mate. Your skins tones are great.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking bunch of greenskins!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
I love your Roman Orc project! These guys look great, and the colour contrast with the snow bases looks very effective.
ReplyDelete“Romanized Orcs” May be my favorite theme for the challenge so far - what a fantastic and fun to paint idea. The Auxilia are very smartly done and I like the 3-2-1 basing concept - very clever
ReplyDelete“Romanized Orcs” - hilarious. Well done Paul.
ReplyDeleteLovely work mate, I can’t wait to see the project finished and on the table!
ReplyDeleteNice looking unit, well done. It's good to see something a little different from the mainstream, your Romanized Greenskins are a great concept.
ReplyDeleteI thought about some 3-2-1 basing but haven't been able to make the leap yet. It is fascinating how much a simple shield change alters the appearance of the unit. I'm eagerly awaiting Saga Fantasy and how that will affect my hobbying.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! The red looks really good. Very mean and nasty looking . Cheers
