Your affection for half-orcs is taking over a bit. No more of the fimir in the pipeline?
Sort of. I just got my Reaper Bones 3 KS reward, which included some of the orcs that I had planned on using for Fimir/Fomorian conversions. But you're right -- I should get back to some of the original projects I was planning, especially the one eyed swamp perverts. It's easy to stray from plans. The half-orcs were initially going to be an mercenary/ally unit. It just happened to grow to to plans for a larger force.
For what it's worth, one of the major reasons I wanted them was as allies for the Fimir!
So... maybe after these two small scout units above, I will get back to Fimir/Fomorians?
Are the halflings wearing goblin skin shirts? That would be a turn around!
Hah! Part of the speed painting process was sticking with a limited pallet of paints. I guess that looks a little odd. There is a little more variety in the hobbit units clothing, though. But I do
almost like that idea. Last night after posting the pics I wrote out a little draft of the fluff for both units. The crux of it is that the gobbos moved into the area and started raiding settlements, and some of the hobbit victims formed a band to hunt them. That lead to an extended game/hunt of cat & mouse and the longer they spent in the wilderness, the more hobbits became almost as bad as the goblins -- demanding (or just taking) what they saw as just payment from whoever they pleased for their services in chasing the goblins away, losing some of the more civilized manners they started with, etc. Trophy taking might fit in. Actually wearing the skins of their rivals... not sure if that's one step too far.
