Goblinoids, sir, thousands of 'em...

Oh the lengths I am going to to avoid picking up a paintbrush at the moment! I think I am definitely suffering from a bit of a painting hangover from the binge that was the LPL.

So what better tonic - fiddle about with the hundreds of unpainted minis I have squirrelled away for future/ongoing/never-ending projects. Inspired by Orlygg's "No Grand Plan", as featured on his marvellous blog - http://realmofchaos80s.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/no-grand-plan-warhammer-armies.html, I thought it was about time to see what I'd actually got, which in no way will further fuel my forrays into ebay to complete and add to the units I've started...

So without further ado here is my Goblinoid horde list. Hopefully this won't come across too much as a "look what I've got!" post as, for me, it'll be a good reference and something I might do for the other armies I've got building up. The entries in red are those I still need to get my hands on.

I'm not sure whether this army will ever be fielded in its entirety - unless I have a whole weekend devoted to one game and a similarly masochistic opponent! It will, however, certainly provide a good pool of troops to dip into and create smaller armies and warbands.

Wish List

A few other bits and pieces I would like to include that haven't made it into the list -

Eeza Ugezod's Mothercrushers - Black Orcs are a little conspicuous in their absence from the horde. I just need to get hold of the standard, musician and champion, and stock up on enough troopers to make a goodly sized juggernaut column!

Notlob's Orc Artillery - For a little more fire support that is slightly more accurate than your average stonethrower.

Mighty Ugezod's Death Commandos - A fun annoyance unit for flank attacks - just don't tell Eeza that there's a pretender to the throne! Again I have one or two of the minis - still need Kudra Stuntysmasher, Gnar, Ushtug the Gut, Sileth Frothlip and Shylob Carcassbreath.

Ironclaw Black Orcs - Never really liked these minis but I'm coming round to their dubious charms.
