Long Drong’s Slayer Pirates

Long Drong’s Slayer Pirates are a Regiment of Renown. These are the ‘Eavy Metal versions in Warhammer World. I always liked the idea of these models, they are still available on the GW website

This is one of the new very nice plastic building kits for Warhammer Fantasy Battle. In the “A4” sized box you get two sprues with all the parts and extras on them. Having constructed the model, I gave it a black undercoat. The roof was given a basecoat of scorched brown.

See workbench feature on the Warhammer Chapel.

Thrud

Thrud.

Who was Thrud?

Thrud the Barbarian is a comics character created by Carl Critchlow in 1981. Although Thrud himself is a parody of Conan the Barbarian, particularly as depicted in the Arnold Schwarzenegger films, inspiration for the character’s adventures and adversaries has been drawn from several fantasy sources. During the 1980s, a Thrud comic strip was a regular strip in White Dwarf.

This model was painted by me and was done in the 1980s using a blending style and minimal washes, with some dry brushing. The rocks on the base are milliput.

Orc Archers

Orc Archers about to let loose a volley of arrows.

Bathead, Orc Warboss

Bathead was the leader of my Orcs when I played Warhammer Fantasy Battles back in the 1980s. He has an unfeasibly large helm, hence the moniker, Bathead. This was one of my favourite orc models of all time. He is pre-slottabase, though I have stuck him onto a slottabase. Did you notice the little snotling at the back of his base?

Chaos Warrior

Very old Chaos Warrior.

Chaos Dwarf with Bazooka

Old school Chaos Dwarf with Bazooka, this dwarf was released before all that top hat and bull nonsense that came later. These Chaos Dwarfs were like mini Chaos Warriors.

Dwarf Wizard

An old model of a Dwarf Wizard.

It’s from the days when Dwarfs did do magic and had wizards…

Dwarf Steamwagon Crew

As I posted earlier I have one of the Old Glory Dwarf Steamwagons. Here are some photographs of the crew.

I am quite pleased with how these turned out.

I originally purchased it to use within some Flintloque games.

Dwarf Steamwagon

This really nice model of a Dwarf Steam Wagon is from Old Glory. It is armed with a large cannon, similar to the ones you would find on sailing ships of the line.
