There was an explosion at the snotlings factory...

3 more ogres built

Kickstarter Ogres size comparison (and mini-review)

So, my Kickstarter Ogres arrived on Friday (ya!).  I've since had enough time to build exactly 1 of them.  But, here he is.  Smaller and weedier than the current line of Ogre Kingdoms, but about in line with the old GW Ogres (which, is what they were sold as).  The snotli...err "Imps" are *tiny*... here's a pic of all 20 of them, with a 25mm base for size comparison.

On to the quality.  They're definitely Trollcast resin - there's some funky left over bits and some air bubbles.  Not bad... about what I'd expect from this style of resin.  This one guy that I've built came in 4 parts.  The body, the head, and two arms.  His left arm had a weird placement for the injection point that took a little bit to clean up, and if you open up the full size picture, you can catch a few little bubbles still.

I'm trying something new with these guys, I'm building them onto little plasticard chunks, so that when the ballast goes down, it will look like he's walking on it, not buried in it (like the painted guys to each side of him are).

All and all, I like them.  I'm glad I got them, and I look forward to building them...

Impact! Miniiatures, Kickstarter, and Bloodbowl..

It's a common collection these days...

I broke my seal on Kickstarter with the Ogres from Impact.  Below is the shipping information for that package.

Yeah!

Some pics of some teams..

These are all destined for eBay...

First up, box set, plastic Orcs...

Next, box set, plastic Humans (with an Ogre)...

Next is a team I've had primed for about 6 years... 16 of the "Imps" and two Treemen.  Painted as a Halfling team.

The were dipped last night, so I should be able to base them and get them ready for sale weekend. 

They're on the old 15mm bases that the Imps used to come with, for extra "i feel tiny" feeling.

Final (?) game of the season for the Amazon's

So, we were supposed to have the playoff this last weekend.  But, there was like 6" of snow on the ground, and several people freaked (not nearly as bad as they did in the South... but still).  So, there were three of us.. the #1 seed (Orks), the #2 seed (me), and the #9 seed (Humans)... who showed up to play. 

The Human coach bowed out (as he had lost to both of us, and we hadn't played each other this season). 

It was one of the best games I've had in a while.. :)  No one could hold on to the ball.  I used all but one of my re-rolls for the games on Go For It rolls...

Ended in a 1-1 Tie.

Done!
