Hi all. Thantsants and I have embarked on a mad adventure. We are going to recreate on the tabletop (using WFB3) the conflict from Steve Jackson's Fighting Fantasy novel; the Trolltooth Wars. It's a fairly ambitious project but there is no need to rush so hopes are high!
The original post about concept ideas can be viewed at http://warlordpauluk.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/the-trolltooth-wars-project-concepts.html.
What we really need is some sound advice on miniatures. The look we are going for means individual metal minis are preferred although plastics are always an option if the look is right. This is what I need...
Numerous Hill Goblins. Seriously, numerous Hill Goblins. Really, they are closer to a Warhammer Orc than a Warhammer Goblin so any decent Orc miniature will do really. A little armour would be a bonus.
One tribe of fat Hill Goblins.
Orc rabble. I see them as unarmoured and poorly equipped.
Mixed 'drone' units of Barbarians, Black Elves, evil Dwarves, Ogres, Trolls and Kobolds. The Kobolds are probably more gobliny than doggy.
Assorted Chaotics. I actually have most of these pinned down, my big remaining problem are the 8 foot tall two-headed, cloaked, scythe-wielding humanoids.
I need some 'Eyeless Archers', what I was thinking was collecting a few Foundry Satyrs and green stuffing over the eye sockets. Let me know if you have any better ideas.
Thantsants will probably post a similar want-list on this thread sooner or later. If you see anything suitable-ish going cheap on ebay let us know because cost is going to be an issue of we're not careful!
This is going to be rumbling on for a while before we get it off the ground so if any ideas pop into your head just holler, all help is very much appreciated!
