Savage orc blood bowl team update#

Not to put too fine a point on it, it was brutal! I pulled out an early lead with ork after ork, but IRO came back swinging, storming through wave upon wave of vicious batch-painting until we fought ourselves to a draw. Insults were exchanged, monkey ninjas were unleashed, green paint flew everywhere and a grudge-match for the ages was born. As I recall we didn’t even come up with the idea of the challenge until after the month had begun and everything was done on the fly. The first annual Wudugast vs IRO Orktober showdown was a story of raw enthusiasm and orky energy. Time and energy are sometimes in short supply on these dark, cold evenings but my mama didn’t raise no quitter so – inspired by the unrelenting discipline of the Black Orcs of yore – I shall soldier on! In all seriousness I’ve still got a couple of big projects I’d like to tackle, and no idea how well that’s going to go. Still, there’s just over a week to go so I’m sure IRO will be able to catch up! Indeed under the circumstances I think it’s only fair that I multiply my current score by a factor of ten, bringing me to a comfortable lead on 260 points. As things stand I’m still trailing my opponent a little but given that I have a baby in the house who spends her days scampering around making mayhem I think it’s bloody miraculous that I’m getting anything painted at all. The addition of these three lads brings my score to 26 in my ongoing painting challenge with IRO. Whilst I was about it I also grabbed this Ironjaw Brute who’d been kicking around, unpainted but never forgotten, and got him finished as well. I knew getting them painted in Orctober would be a tall order (and as it happens most of them aren’t even assembled yet) but I couldn’t resist getting at least a couple of test models painted to join my Ironjaw Warcry warband. I really rate the new Ardboys which fit in far better with the other Orcs GW currently makes than the old Black Orc kit that they replace. *possibly a better word would be “barged”, I can’t imagine these lads sneaking anywhere.

The Ironjaw orcs – Games Workshop’s bigger, tougher breed of fantasy greenskins – got an update and a bunch of new kits back in September, and sure enough a few of them have snuck* into my painting queue for the month.
