The Green Horde: another troop of Orc Warriors

 Hi! Here you are another episode of the building of the Green Horde - an army made of all the Orc and Goblin figures I'm gathering together since the 80s. If you're new to this blog, here you are the previous episodes:

- The Green Horde - A beginning the start of the project

- Orctober - Boar Rider A first boar rider, general of the army so far

- The Green Horde: a Troop of Archers first 10 archers, more to come in the future

- The Green Horde: Heavy Wolf Riders 5 wolf riders from various manufacturers

- The Green Horde: a Regiment of Orc Warriors A regiment is composed of 20 figures at Kings of War 

- The Green Horde: a Goblin Skull Crusher A Goblin catapult 

Today's post is about the beginning of a new regiment. The first 10 Orcs are painted, they form a troop before 10 others join their ranks. Let's have a look:


Once again, the figures come from several manufacturers: Citadel, Ral Partha, Grenadier, Old Glory.

Let's have a closer look: the warrior with the round shield below is a Grenadier figure. The original shield is engraved with an Eye pattern that I didn't like, so I stuck a round shield over, and painted a red eye, symbol of the army.

The next is also a Grenadier figure. The connoisseurs will recognise Nick Lund's style.


The next one comes from an Old Glory fantasy range (with a new plastic shield):


The next ones are Citadel figures. The first is a Chronicle Hobgoblin:

And the next ones are two variants of the same lancer from the 80s (preslotta era):

The last figures on display are 3 Orcs by Grenadier, and not Ral Partha as I originally thought - Hobgoblin from LAF once again could identify them! They were sculpted by Sandra Garrity and released by Grenadier during the 90s as part of the Fantasy Legends range.


That's all for today! See you for the next episode.

    1. Thank you Tony! I love painting freehands on the shields, it's a lot easier on 28mm figures than on 1/72 :)

    1. Thank you Peter! I still have a few other guys almost ready, but these days I have a ton of work, so I'm not sure to display anything more before the end of the month.
