This is one of my favourite miniatures of all time, the Bloodbowl Ogre.
The model was released back in the 1980s and I bought it and painted it back then. I mainly used drybrushing back then with limited blending. I don’t think I used any washes and certainly no inks!
Snotlings running through a village, I based them individually to use them as Lesser Goblins.
The buildings are from Steve Barber models.
Another couple of my snotlings that I used as Lesser Goblins.
Remember they are only about 1cm tall, if that!

One of my favourite models of all time is the Snotling Pump Wagon, not the new montrosity, but the original one from Citadel. What I liked about it most was the humour behind the model, you got the idea that the designer was down the pub when the idea came up.
The model initially came as a single decker with an expansion pack providing the top deck if needed. In later years the complete model was made available as a single kit.
This War Elephant was inspired by an original article in White Dwarf from the 1980s on a Lord of the Rings which included a Mumakil which had been converted from a Britains Elephant, so I decided to do the same thing, originally with a Rhino… but did eventually buy an Elephant.
I used miliput for the saddle and frontal armour plate, and balsa wood for the howdah.
Probably my favourite display game at GamesDay 2008 was the Dwarf City that was under attack by a sea borne Orc and Goblin army. The scenery was beautifully constructed, some amazing Venetian inspired buildings and bridges.
In previous blog posts (here, here, here and here) I posted some photographs of the Dwarf buildings. In this posting there are some photographs of the Orc sea vessels that were attacking the city.
The Orc boats were wooden attack boats that looked like the Orcs had just thrown them together.
There were many vessels that had landing craft abilities.
In the background of this photo, you can see a Dwarf Monitor steaming out to defend the city from attack. The Orc boat in the foreground has siege engines lashed to the deck.

There were some nice little touches such as this splattered goblin doom diver who obviously missed their target.
Lots of nice architectural details on the buildings such as the dwarven “gargoyles”, even the smoke from the chimneys.
