Golden Orcs in the Snow

A long-range Orc patrol trudges through the snow...

-"Oi, I vas jus' finkin' 'ow I's ain't see o' fower inna lon' time."

-"Hey, cut that high-faluting High Orc around us!  You're among friends."

-"Sorry, sometimes I get so nervous.  I was just thinking about how I haven't seen a flower in such a long time.  And sorry, my Analyst says breaking out into High Orc is just a compulsive defense mechanism to cope with my extreme self-consciousness about my teeth."

 -"Oh, I can only dream what your Mother would say if she knew you were still in Frorkian Analysis!" 

-"Ho-ho-ho", chuckle the other Orcs.

                                    

-"Hey!  What's that over there??!!"

-"Golden Orcs!!"

-"Golden Orcs?"

-"Yes, Golden Orcs.  I should know.  I once saw a Golden Demon."

-"No.   You have never seen nor ever will see a Golden Demon!"

-"Ouch."

-"Perhaps some horrible creature turned these Orcs into gold?"

-"Perhaps it was that horrible creature!!!!!"

-"Run for it dear friends!"

-"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

-"But I just came out to say, 'hello'."

-"Nobody ever wants to play with us..."

Pre-Slotta Dwarves Are Not Gnomes!!

Dwarves have always been my favourite fantasy force.

But they sure are sensitive.

And rather clannish.

 And oi, the arguments!  If it is not the whole First Compendium...

...vs. Second Compendium thing...

Then it's the "Dwarves"...

or "Dwarfs" kerfuffle.

Thankfully, Lord Asgard keeps this all in check.

And keeps everyone calm.

But by Grungni, let's not disturb this hard-earned calm by calling Pre-Slotta Dwarves (and Dwarfs) Gnomes!!

Lord Asgard says, "Thank you."

GorkaMorking

On the very bright and deserty planet of Zork, three bands of Orks meet to clash over a bunch of old automotive scrap.

The long imposing shadow of Gork (or Mork) watches over the proceedings...

The air fills with the roars of loud badly-tuned engines, deafening Waaghing and much Dakka-dakka-ing...

Ork driving skills are put to the test as trukks and buggys all vie for that perfect ram...

But then it is time to settle things in true Ork fashion...

Meanwhile, Dethkopters show their worth...

And some Orks even manage to jump out!

No mercy is of course shown to the immobilized.

In the end, survivors scavenge the battlefield.

Fun three-way modified GorkaMorka in the heat of the afternoon with The Kid and Private H.   This one-off game was to whet our appetites for a full-on GorkaMorka campaign later this summer.  As much as I love the old metal Ork Raiders, it felt great to be hanging out and playing with these wonderful and goofily characterful plastic friends again.   Even makes me want to play some 3rd Edition 40K!   Orks!  

Shadows From A Plastic Game

Bright, bright sun today made for a very shadowy game.  Ended up liking the photos of the shadows more than than the pics of the minis, so....

 

And then, Yikes!, coming out of the shadows...

Always knew a Zombie Apocalypse would happen on a sunny day.

Holidays Are For Gaming - Chaos Dwarves vs. Orcs

Fifth Edition Warhammer fun with The Kid this afternoon. 

Shy Giants wave good-bye...
