Finished my first box of Harboth and the Black Mountain Boys with Harboth himself. Only 3 more boxes to go. They originally came with 8 troopers and a Leader (Hero, Standard or Musician). Leter on when they introduced the Champion it went down to 7 Troopers. I may end up painting 9 troopers for each set so I end up with a nice round 40.

Oldhammer Orcs and Dwarfs
Going through my boxes of stuff to see what I actually have as due to loosing my Job I won't be able to buy new stuff for a while. I decided to get out all of my Dwarfs and Orcs. I have hoarded them for two long and haven't painted any since the late 80's early 90's (Apart from an odd orc/goblin war machine around 2002). I figured its time I got these out and did something with them. So a big pile of stuff.
Now I either sell a load or all of it which I would probably regret or paint it. There is lots to paint and some needs stripping. Now my painting has improved since the 1980s not that much but still enough. Now I can't bear to strip everything as it will just take too long so I will experiment with washes, updating some colours and changing the bases over to brown (Just don't like the green bases anymore unless they are done extremely well which I don't have the patience to do).
So starting with bugmans
As I painted them originally
Repainted the metal and added a couple of washes.
They do look a lot different in real life rather than this picture
