About the Project
Turns out i may be a hobby butterfly freshly hatched from my chrysalis of denial. This challenge started with the intention of completing a project i started many years ago when i purchased advanced space crusade. Turns out i am now massively into rebasing my epic collection on washers so they dont slide around everywhere im not sure where my hobby time will take me next. I have recently noticed that when i start a project with enthusiasm i take my time and enjoy what i am doing but then when a new shiny catches my eye i rush through the project to try to get it done as fast as possible so i can start the next thing. So i think the project will now be reduce the pile of shame but in my own time and pace, i can always go back to a project when the enthusiasm returns which it always does.

Some grotz pressganged into the Yaaaarrrgh (more piraty waaagh)
Picked these cheeky chaps up from meridian miniatures should make a great meat sheild for the bigger orks Toot Toot Batenheims very own steam tank
A steam tank is just as good at boiling tea for elevensis as it is at taking pot shots at maurauding ogres in the raddish patchBam another Scrump of halflings
More halflings to keep Battenheims borders safeFor Battenheim
These chaps have been mustered up to help form the backbone of an old world or maybe oathmark army. Had fun splashing speedpaints and tufts on these characterful sculpts from forlorn hope miniatures
Every good army needs some cavelry so nicked these chaps from an older empire force just rebased them to fit the Battenheim theme "Look a Dungeons and Dragons ride"
Found these funky dudes at antidevulian miniatures.
Love the idea that the kids never made it home.
Maybe, Bobbys mind broke the day Uni was killed by Tiamat the Dragon now 30 years on his mind broken wearing Unis skull on his shoulder and only living to avenge his childhood pet cgasing Tiamat and Venger through the fantasy land.
Although dungeon master found them multiple ways home the others cant leave Bobby behind so have built a new life of adventure robbing and murdering to survive.
WAAARG FREEBOTER MR PINCHY AHOY
Bam been working on a freebooter themed force for most of last edition and got this chap painted just in time for GW to remove the freebooterz …. bugger
Had great fun building this chap making him balance on the wooden leg was fun.
I may have gone a bit over the top with the rust effect, its just loads of fun to use and looks pretty cool also i guess pirate orks would be rusty
The cannon and crew are from kromlech i thought it would be cool to have a gun deck (or is it a poop deck) with cannon and crew for orky broadsides Bam to the max
