Rock lobbing orcs at Cooke’s Crevasse by MarkB - 40pts

The looting rioting adventures continue across the island to Cook’s Crevasse. This time more Orcs (because let’s face it you can never have enough!?) so please welcome Scabs and Snotwangle. Scabs is a Maurauder Miniature from about 1989. He is a scabby and poorly clothed beast of burden clearly labouring with his heavy rock. This is his favourite rock called Betty. He always collects her after a battle to reuse her again. Scabs loves Betty because she always makes such a mess of the Stunties or the poncey pointy eared Elves.

Scabs 💕 Betty

Unfortunately for Scabs he is forced to work very hard by a rather brutal Orc called Snotwangle. Snotwangle takes delight in telling Scabs to work faster loading the catapult. I’m afraid the Man Mangler catapult was already painted before the challenge but I thought you’d enjoy seeing Scabs, Betty and Snotwangle in action!

This is Snotwangle. He is a Citadel Orc champion from about 1987. He likes to drink from his bottle of triple X Snotspike booze as he barks instructions. He is a nasty Orc!🤪

 
At the end of a long hard day of shooting rocks at Stunties Scabs and Snotwangle like to relax. Scabs likes to polish Betty. Snotwangle likes to drink more grog.
 


Cook’s Crevasse completes with a rock themed figure= 30 points
2 x 28mm figures = 10 points
Total = 40 points

Now we shall head to the coast to Docherty’s Dock where more mischief is planned!

From DaveD. Oh Martin will be pleased - he may even ask questions on the kind of rock! - prepare for your Thursday test! 40 points it is

  3. I love the idea of Betty being reclaimed after a successful battle. I'm sure she gets cleaned up, at least a bit - right?

    Really lovely work, Mark - and a great storyline!
