A Gathering of Mighty Painters - Month 1

Gorfang Rotgut was pissed. His was fed up with sharing Death Pass with that little git. He knew he didn't have enough Boyz to challenge Skarsnik directly and until he did he was the lesser power. This had to change, no self-respecting Orc bows down to a Goblin.........................

He needed more Boyz and the only to find them was to go beyond Skarnsik's reach, so that's what he'll do.

Gathering together a mob of Red Fang Boyz and leaving his most trusted Lieutenant in charge, Gorfang and his mob set out from Black Crag and headed into the Badlands on a recruitment drive! 

Here is my first month's entry in the humbly named "Gathering of Mighty Painters Challenge" (I am in no way, shape or form, putting myself up there with the best painters in the world.)

Each month the painters are challenged to paint a predetermined category to paint something from, in this case it was "Unit". They can paint more if they wish but they must paint the minimum requirement for that item in the 4th Ed Army lists.

I'm using the challenge to chip away at my mountain of 4th Ed Orcs & Goblins. At the end of the challenge I'll have a healthy amount of 4th Ed  (and a few late 3rd) Orcs and Goblins finished.

The banner isn't great but it makes a change that a unit of mine actually has a banner painted up at all so I'll take it.

I decided to paint up Gorfang too so that the "army" had a general from the very start.

Now it's time to finish off my 333pt 3rd Ed Painting Challenge offerings for January before moving onto the February instalment for the Gathering of Mighty Painters, the theme for the month is artillery.
