@mytholder.bsky.social a fifth of the way through The Dungeon Book and I love it. When Cornelius was recounting the Borderlands, I was going ‘there’d better be a keep! there’d better be a keep!’

Before & after: stripped (with Dettol) & repainted my Citadel 1980s metal orcs. These guys must have each died a hundred deaths upon the dining room table of my 80s D&D games. #TTRPG #OSR #D&D1e #wargaming

A cItadel orc, 1980s era, crudely painted in enamels, with bits of bare metal and white undercoat poking through.

The same orc and 7 of his mates, stripped and repainted in contrast paints and modern acrylics.

Hwaet! I'm reading my son the Rosemary Sutcliffe version of Beowulf, from 1961. It's illustrated, but I'm starting to think the artist had no reference for a 'boar-crested helm' and this was their best attempt at what one looked like. #AngloSaxons #wargaming #5thcentury
