A Load of Old Toby - Greg the Artist

@freexerjin.bsky.social

I am a painter, historian, military wargamer and artist...maybe not a very good one, but it’s why I am here! Disabled, homeless, orphan. Hampshire: will use #aloadofoldtoby. A Load of Old Toby: https://aloadofoldtoby.blogspot.com

As the ancient Greeks said: "Fucking finally!". My take on my old stripped Ruglud's armoured orcs who according to lore picked up their heavy armour and crossbows from Chaos dwarves. I spent too much money on 15 extra figures, and they were a lot of work for a dodgy result, but here we are... 💁

NEW MINI MONDAY!!! So, this one is a bit of a collaboration, between me and Mike McVey! The face of Gorfang Rotgut here was painted by Mike 30+ years ago, probably as a colour test. I've had it in a box, since then, and I decided it was time to finish it off. For sale here: ebay.io/m/tRVGDN

These FiB lancers have been painted with leather armour instead of metal - the figures are the same as some of the "heavy cavalry" I posted last week, just the paint is different!

Victorian Civil War 1872 - The allied German War-walker stomps into Milford Haven, steam hissing, Gatling gun roaring as German engineering joins the English invasion of Wales. The Welsh militia stare up at the three‑legged terror and mutter, “Bloody Germans, they'll start a world war one day" 😏.
