I'm working on a Wild Orc army for massed battle games. Looking to have most of the options required for a certain game within a couple of weeks. Aiming for models that are clean and crisp at 15mm, they'll scale up but be embarassed if put next to Jim or Labrat's minis at 30mm  |

Very nice. I don't do 15mm, but this is pretty nice

they'll scale up to 30mm fine as they are vector (just not sure how good they'll look as they are meant to stand out at a smaller scale). I'm aiming to get a lot of variants and options done in a short time, then maybe extend the technique to some of the other armies that don't have many models yet. Very much aiming at massed battles players.

Next step: extra head and body variants Then: Bows Shields Spears Additional leaders, hero and Shamen Then boar riders |

Since you are doing these with vectors, have you considered thickening them up a bit and giving them dimension like Oliver Bizer does his Junior General figures? He basically laminates the figures rather than trying for true 3d, but I think your wild orcs would be an excellent choice for an experiment with this.

When I've got the rest of these done I'll have a look Boar rider 1  I think his legs are a little thin and he's sitting in the wrong place.... but you get the idea |

Better?  |

I think I lean towards the first one, but have his legs flexed more, like the way people ride elephants.
And yes his legs look a trifle thin.
That boar is excellent. Will you also have riderless boars?

They are vector, so I can make them any size, same for riderless boars as it's one click to tak the rider off I'll add a 'razorback' to finish him off. My main aim is to get all of the basic shapes sorted so I can make lots of variants quickly. I've started lots of projects and always found a better way to do it then moved on.... I've spent a while getting this one right before I started! I want to be able to replicate specific troop types for a range of wargames quickly. If someone needs a wild orc with a 2 handed weapon I can run them off in a couple of minutes, same for a wild orc weilding an M16, giant mushroom or bunch of flowers. If someone needs a wild orc riding a bear, wolf or crocodile, easily done as the riders are ready. Underworld goblins next They aren't nearly as attractive as Labrat, Okumarts, Darkmook or Jim's figures (They are pieces of artwork made into figures), but I'm aiming at the middle ground, players who need a lot of rank and file models quickly (they are quick to cut too). Think of these like an early GW box set, lots of weapon options, easy to assemble but not as pretty as the metal models |

It's a buckler, big shields just get in the way in cave fights.  |

It's all inkscape, then into gimp for a final tidy up.... they save as png in inkscape then I convert to BMP for the last stage. I'm just learning though, so I don't know about other formats yet |

I have to say Ian, I am really grooving on this orc set. I think it's perfect for 15mm. I like the creativity. The musicians crack me up. I look forward to seeing it completed. Hopefully in time for the Paper Cut Awards. |
