Lesser Orcs of the Red Eye

As part of our Crisis 2017 game, we painted up vintage fantasy figures that were around when Warhammer 1st edition was published (1983).

We showed some Minifigs Forest Orcs before, but didn't show these "Lesser Orcs of the Red Eye" yet. They were originally released by Custom Cast in 1975, and later by Der Kriegspielers.

Oldhammer: Orcs and Goblins

In preparation for a replay of the Ziggurat of Doom, the initial WFB1 scenario, I decided to bring out and clean up my Oldhammer Orcs&Goblins. I didn't repaint the figures, but redid the bases in an 80s style - grey flock and some simple tufts of grass and small rocks.

Note that the Orcs and Goblins are not painted green, but Orcs a brownish flesh, and the Goblins a fleshy orange ;-) Sacrilege to some, creativity to others.

Identification of some of the miniatures I have labeled as "Ral Partha" is still uncertain, but I am working on it. Any help appreciated.

All Orcs & Goblins around the Ziggurat of Doom.
Goblin Wolf Riders by Alternative Armies. See this page on Lostminiswiki.
Goblin warriors - all Citadel Miniatures
Goblin Fanatics - Citadel.
Various Orcs - Ral Partha 11-409.
The one in front looks suspiciously like the Ral Partha Bunny of Doom.
The one front left probably from the Orc Legion of Death 02-083
Orc Warriors - all Citadel. Some Alternative Armies goblins in the foreground.
More Ral Partha Orcs.

Catapult (including crew) is from Prince August.
Bolt Thrower Citadel, crew Bolt Thrower probably Ral Partha
Grenadier (Classic Fantasy Blister #327) Orc General, Citadel goblin.
Citadel Orc Archers.

Goblins! The Bad Moon Bunch

And here are the next results of my mass fantasy push for this year:

IMG 3230

Please welcome the Bad Moon Bunch, a bunch (well, what other collective noun is there for goblins?) of Foundry goblins. Lovely, characterful figures. As you can see, I largely went with the GW 'Orcs are green' convention, though I also snuck in some other colours (see if you can spot the reference). Maybe I'll add another unit goblins in Tolkien brown later :).
