The 'Orrible Lot of Crove Crag

[ashmie]

I think I'll have The 'Orible lot of Crove Crag as a deserting faction of the Broken Tooth Tribe who originally hail from Black Crag. South of Border Princes way down in the Badlands. They have marauded their way up to the Empire and are now rumored to be hiding from the Broken Tooth Tribe Boss somewhere in the Grey Mountains of The Empire South West of Bogenhafen. Adventurers, farmers and some scouts from Helmgart have sighted Orcs at different occasions in the past year east of Castle Drachenfels and close to the town of Helmgart.
The exact location of Crove Crag is not certain but it is most likely in this region of the Grey Mountains.
If you can find them then maybe they can help you, do some business or clash 'eads in the name of good sport. Just don't tell their tribe boss whom they have done a runner from.
Their raids on the outlying farms of Bogenhafen and Helmgart are usually monthly. The next raid is predicted by the townsfolk to be around the end of Nachhexen (February) in the year of our Emperor Karl Franz 2012. (Joshin anyone for an afternoon battle?)

Two bosses: Black Orc: Jake the Poacher.

Great Goblin: Tank.

They are now rumoured to be in this region: http://s591.photobucket.com/albums/ss35 ... 223651.jpg

I'll still have The 'Orible lot of Crove Crag as a deserting faction of the Broken Tooth Tribe who originally hail from Black Crag. South of Border Princes way down in the Badlands.

I've changed the fluff to suit the new lands. The Great Enchanter Drachenfels was getting tired of all the attention the 'Orrible Lot were bringing to his area of the Grey Mountains and so he sent the whole army through a damned portal and banished them from the Old World. They are now somewhere in a foreign dimension.

In the meantime I have managed to finish painting my leaders. Goblin; Tank and Black Orc; Jake the Poacher. The Orc Shamen has a name too but I will have to recall it from a previous post. Lets say for now he is called Old Bill Rotenbury.

Factions are

Barbrook Garage
Dunster Keep
Parracombe and
Valley of Rocks.

Here are some pictures.
Been busy this weekend and am pleased to say I am 5 boar boyz off from completing my army. Looking forward to this as I missed the last big Warhammer event.



And so The 'Orrible lot of Crove Crag stumbled across a wood elf army. Who will be the victor. Jake the Poacher and his Orc oikes or the graceful forest of Orion.

Fluff update.

The Orrible Lot of Crove Crag don't know that it ISN'T a new dimension. In fact they have been duped into thinking it is a new dimension by the Great Enchanter Drachenfels. And so they figure that when they got blasted away that they died and are in Orky 'eaven where they can crush da oomies and da pointy earz for all eternity.

Waggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ORRID!



The last 5 past the post keeping it Old Skool Orky. The armies done! After 20 years! Lets do this!

[Admiral-Badruck]

[ashmie]

Cheers mate You too. Up the greens.

[Primarch]

A finished army, well done mate. That is an achievement in and of itself. I hope that they crush all that dare stand before them.

[jus]

Waggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ORRID!

mm sublime.

They look great ash! Makes me want to get my army fully done too.

EDIT:

By the way, is it pronouced Jake the poacher, or is it Jach' da poacha'

And so the Orrible Lot of Crove Crag were banished to an archipelago of the Old World by the evil enchanter Drachenfels. They thought they had died and were in Orcy heaven when they charged down the mountainside and into the hunting party of the wood elves. After a few in house squabbles they were finally smashed to bits and sent packing by the might of Orions tree kin. Seeing an opening the horde of Jakes Savage Orc Boar Boys made a charge at the dryads splintering wood and branches in their wake.
The Giant yelled and bawled at the Elves inside the keep making them run away, he made himself at home and started on the bacon and eggs in the hearth.
The tree kin meanwhile made mincemeat of the Orc hordes sending them scattered and destroyed, some elven magic was at work called skin to bark or some such nonsense. Jake and Tank were sure of their chance and charged headlong into the enemy general destroying him and taking one of his banners from the glade guard.

Suddenly Morslieb gave a chaotic howl and the moon ducked behind the clouds throwing the island into a perpetual darkness. The units and armies were lost from each other and split up not returning to the field after initial charges. The battle was over but it was far from won on either side.

Where are da boyz and what is this new land of endless fighting and strife? It must be greenskin nirvana, must it not?

(We ran out of time). It was a draw.
