Dwarf Longbeards
Out came the scalpel, in came the bits box. One even became the standard bearer.

Dieter Helsnicht's Nightmare Army
A long time ago, I started a little orc and goblin army, but it has kinda gotten out of hand.
Let me explain.
I started a greenskins army with monopose orcs and goblins mainly from Battlemasters and GW 4th ed, sculpey home-made trolls and a giant and that was the way I wanted it. No metals - no more expenditure...
Well, crap.
First thing that happened was that I got another Battlemasters real cheap at a thrift shop (seriously it was $5 for the whole thing - missing Empire).
Next thing that happened was I bought the 6th ed Orc boxed sets.
I bought an orc chariot from a friend... and converted a boar rider to a shaman.
Someone gave me a metal orc commander and 3 metal orcs and the great jester shaman from Warhammer Quest. (thanks buddy!).
Then they gave me ALL their 6th ed gobbo archers and spears.I tell you what, I may have been poor but I had some amazing kind friends - and that is true wealth.
Then the freaking Battle for Skull Pass comes out and I get it for half price (which is ok because Dwarfs is still my main army right?).
Well, with so many gobbos - I bought 3 metal fanatics.
Another friend dumps his gnoblars on me because he says he hates them. I love them. Especially the one wearing saucepan helmets.
I breathe.
I join a few facebook trading groups.
I somehow bought 2 more boar chariots, 3 old style doom divers, Skarsnik missing Gobbla, some netters and clubbers, a squig rider, MORE fanatics and now it's kinda multiplying like real greenskins... and I'm painting as much as I can until everything I see is green.
Holy squigs and now someone is selling Groms chariot, but no Grom or Niblit - and somehow I got bitten by the Grom the Paunch bug, and upgrade my terrible sculpey proxy for a mad Kings of War sculpt and WOW! Things are esculating fast.
I breathe.
I buy some more green paint.
Then someone posts a rock lobber and I think - you know, I dont have any artillery. Why not?
A few weeks later after it is painted, the Skull Crusher and the Lead Belcher arrive in the mail IN THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES, because I still remember looking at them in the shops as a small boy, never thinking that I'll ever be able to afford them like I'm Charlie Bucket from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
A river troll and 3 Stone trolls join in. I trade a LOTR mini for 5 squigs. To top it off, a local guy is selling the Spear chukka for a song.
And so now, here it is. Freakin' HUNDREDS of models and suddenly it is starting to feel like a Waaaaagh that has happened under its own energy.
Now I'm saving champagne corks to build a rogue Idol.
(Chaos Warband 3rd Edition Ruleset)
Two Aspiring Champions of Chaos spy eachother in the Chaos Wastes,
each seeking to impress their Dark Gods in battle.
El Creepo, sorcerer servant of Nurgle, travels with three pestigor followers, each sporting bulging red eyes that carry a terrible curse.
El Creepo casts a spell of Protection to give him a shielding aura.
Chaos Sorcerer
Picked up in a batch sale, I had this guy with a thin base paint for some time, then painted him a little more, then a little more, then finally finished him off for a chaos warband game.
The paint on him now has quite a few thin layers, and although not a difficult model to paint, there was some unexpected detail, such as the small reptilian skull fetish on the staff, some rusted chainmaille and the metal insignia disc.
