15mm Fantasy-Battle Valor Orcs

Battle Valor 15mm fantasy range, which is very large, very good and expanding all the time.  Ed Spettigue has done a fantastic job as is massive supporter of the 15mm fantasy community.  I have backed both of his Kickstarters and they are great value.

Having had this army sat in a box for more than it should have been I have finally managed to put some paint on metal.  Obviously they are not finished, I forgot to take the bases to work lol  Here I have mocked them up on a 160mm x 80mm base which would be a KoW horde, I love the mass effect.








These figures are just wonderful.  The detail and variety is great and they are a joy to paint.  I have chosen a non-green Orc flesh for this tribe to set it apart from all the other Orc and Goblin tribes I have, there are atleast 5 different tribes so far.  I look forward to painting up the rest of the metal pile.

15mm Fantasy-Work In Progress

Continuing the theme of using old Games Workshop Warhammer figures in my 15mm realm here is a picture of a new faction....Chaos/Abyssal Plague Hordes.

The 'Plague Bearers'  will be a large infantry/troll style unit and the 'Nurglings' will be a shooting, spitting venom darts and close combat unit.



The second WIP is a mock up of an Empire Horde unit, under Kings of War.  It's based on the Renaissance Spanish Colunela a combined arms unit of pike, shot and sword/halberd men.  


I have based the numbers and layout on John Roache's great blog http://olicanalad.blogspot.com/search/label/Italian%20Wars.  It's a great blog and inspirational on so many levels.
The figures are Old Glory and Venaxia
