- First of all, I apologize for the length of this video. Mostly I apologize to my old computer, which really didn't like dealing with a video this long. But I guess once I got out all these models and started talking about them, I had trouble keeping it brief.
This is my full Orc & Goblin Warhammer Fantasy Battles army, fully painted, about 25 years in the making. As of 8th edition it comes to over 10,000 points, not including magic items but including Dogs of War mercenary units. Technically, the Dogs of War aren't legal, but if you take those out and put in a bunch of magic items, it still gets over the 10,000 point mark.
This was my first Warhammer army, and for decades it was my exclusive wargaming force. I'll always consider myself an Orc & Goblin player first. If you have any questions, comments or concerns you can leave them below.
And for those of you who are curious, the army consists of:
2 Orc Warbosses
1 Orc Great Shaman
1 Black Orc Warboss
2 Goblin Warbosses
1 Night Goblin Great Shaman
1 Night Goblin Warboss
4 Orc Big Bosses
1 Goblin Shaman
1 Night Goblin Shaman
2 Goblin Big Bosses
1 Savage Orc Shaman
3 Orc Shamans
2 Night Goblin Big Bosses
1 Savage Orc Big Boss
1 Black Orc Big Boss
107 Orc Boyz
25 Orc Big 'Unz
116 Goblins
20 Goblins Wolf Riders
22 Orc Arrer Boyz
125 Night Goblins and 11 Fanatics
21 Savage Orcs
6 Forest Goblin Spider Riders
14 Orc Boarboyz
30 Black Orcs
2 Goblin Wolf Chariots
30 Squigs and 21 Squig Herders
16 Ruglud's Armored Orcs
1 Orc Boar Chariot
2 Goblin Spear Chukkas
7 Savage Orc Boarboyz
10 Squig Hoppers
5 Snotling Bases
3 Trolls
3 River Trolls
3 Stone Trolls
1 Goblin Rock Lobba
3 Goblin Doom Divers
1 Giant
1 Snotling Pump Wagon
2 Mangler Squigs
10 Ogres
8 Duelists
8 Voland's Venators
1 Cannon
12 Richter Krueger's Cursed Company
...and a special mention to Obediah Corpseweaver, my mercenary Dark Emissary from the old Dark Shadows global campaign. I set him up with the troops, but totally forgot to mention him. Please don't cast Fog of Death on me. - Hry
This army should be considered a national treasure.
Only if I get an Orc Nicholas Cage to star.

Just perfection. The sheer amount of odhammer, the beautiful paint jobs, the banners... My favourite parts were the unit fillers with the mementoes from past battles and campaigns. Every unit has a story. Thanks for sharing this stunning army.
Thanks. I’m happy to hear there’s still this love for the OG O&G.
I wish such orcs were added to total war warhammer, at least purely by design.
ODHAMMER as in odd ?
One of the best armies I’ve ever seen!
Thanks. There are lots of people who paint better and faster, but with a couple decades to work with, I’m pretty happy with the results.
Bravo, Sir. The amount of theme, conversions, names and stories makes this such an amazing army. I love all the banners too. Thank you for sharing. That was an hour well spent.
Thanks. I know my kids would have a hard time believing someone could listen to me for a hour, but now I have proof.
I'm an Oldhammer player myself, and have many of those exact models. Amazing job.
Thanks. I like the new GW models, too, but I think if I had my choice ( and the money to afford them on eBay) I would still be painting the old models.
amazing army and I really like that you have a story for each unit! I'd love to see a big battle report with them!
Thanks. I’ll probably do a big battle report with them eventually, but probably not for a long time. People have been asking for it, but it takes a long time just putting these miniatures on the table, much less playing a game with them.
Very very cool , good to see another long time player with orc's. My army is a little bigger than what you have but like you when we play it , it's a great trip down memory lane. Never stop adding to the great whaaaaaa!
There is so much love and care and passion in this. Super cool, thanks for sharing.
My pleasure. Thanks very much.
This is just fantastic. could watch it the whole day
Thanks. That works out great, ‘cause I felt like I talked all day.
Superb force, a real labour of love. Would love to see more of these showcase vids with your other collections
Great to hear. I will definitely do a video on my Empire force once we can finish our campaign. And I’ve been thinking about doing a short one on my long-retired Rogue Trader era 40k Ork army.
Awesome army ! Thanks for posting. - That must be a ton of work !
Thanks. Yeah, it was a long process, and isn’t over yet. Maybe in the next 25 years I can finally get a wyvern or an arachnarok painted.
So so cool. Just getting into this stuff and this is one of the best showcase videos I've seen so far!
Thanks. And good luck with the hobby. Hope you’ll enjoy it for as long as I have.
incredible army! Clearly a work of love for the hobby :) Especially love your necromantic themed units!
Thanks. The necromantic units were nice because I didn’t have to paint any faces. I’m glad you liked them.
This is such an amazing army! I love armies with history, collected over the years and displaying range of models GW made over these couple of decades ;) Really, REALLY amazing job :)
Thanks, I’m glad you like it. Be sure to check in again in 20 years. Maybe I’ll be able to do a video on my 10,000 point Empire army.
Totally awesome a magnificent army and story, I charge my glass to you sir well done.
Thanks. Always nice to hear from a fellow Oldhammer enthusiast.
Wow, just wow... and the vampiric squigs! Amazing work, what a stellar army!
Thanks very much.
Really really cool! Love that you took the time sharing this with us!
No problem. Some of those guys really needed to get out of their cases and get some excercise.
@@dmgashbad4908 Planning to do my own by the end of the year, but still got some paint work to do first!
What an incredible collection of beautifully painted Orc/Goblin goodness! Wonderful showcase. I loved all the conversions and backstories. Truly inspirational! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks. That’s one of the nice things about this game. Over time, these stories tend to grow up naturally.
Now this was fun. Not same-same with just different poses.
A lot of character and depth. Like a greenskin army should be. Can just imagine the sheer chaos and shenanigans this mob would bring. Really takes me back. Thank you.
You are welcome. And yeah, they often had their own ideas about what they were going to do on the battlefield.
So many classic models! Really gives this collection some great character. Thank you for sharing this with everyone!
No problem. I have to admit, I’m very proud of da boys. I’ve been watching a series of videos where people try to recreate an oldhammer army. It’s hard to do now, and it’s nice to know I have one on the shelf.
What a stunning army, one of the best I've ever seen. All of the conversions are very well done, in the right tone and just good ideas. The painting is of a very high standard for such a large force as well. All around just stunning!
Thanks. It helps to be in the hobby for the long haul. Once I got the core of the army out I could experiment with conversions and such.
What an absolutly amazing army, full of stories and soul. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Love the themed characters and conversions, love the mix of old and new models, whole thing's great.
Thanks. Yeah, I find there’s something to love about old and new models.
You've given me a new appreciation for the old models, they have more character imo. Epic army one of the best I've seen
Thanks very much. Very nice of you to say. And yeah, the old models can be great.
Wow the sense of fun and whimsy that you have made is just fansantic
Thanks. Just took some of them out for some exercise. Hopefully I’ll have a battle report out in a couple days.
What a treat of a video! what an army! Absolutely fantastic!
Not "pile of grey shame", "Pile of grey potential", that's how i like to think about it
Great to hear. I still have mountains of grey sha... er, potential. Sadly, I also have a fair amount of painted shame in this army as well: Models I painted for one reason or another, but then never actually used in a game.
night goblins were too kool for skool!! I had so many of those way back when...AWSOME video man!!❤
Thanks. I agree about the Night Goblins. I have dozens of the old metal ones that would be really nice to have painted one day.
Fascinating stuff! I'm waiting on the Old World game but starting an Orcs & Goblins army, using mostly modern plastics and painting methods and it's really useful having this kind of thing for reference on what I can use, what I can proxy, how I make a unit.
Cool. I don’t know how similar unit composition will be in The Old World, but from the photos they released it doesn’t look too far off. I definitely wouldn’t complain if my army translated easily.
Absolutely amazing army 👍🏻 Really enjoy all the little details and the thought that’s gone into all the models. I have a similar size empire army and have always tried to make every model different. Great video 👍🏻
Thanks. Sounds like a cool Empire army. Progress on my own Empire force goes very slowly…
beautiful! I love those oop models. just in the process of repainting those marauder goblin wolf riders myself. so cool
I agree. The plastic wolves are only ok, but the old metal riders are great. I still have a bag of unpainted ones that I would love y to o finish up one day.
You can't believe how much I've been smiling watching this. Pure nostalgia of my youth. You paint job s are lovely. I tip my hat to you
Ah, thanks. I get it. My memory is pretty bad, but going through these models always takes me back.
That is an awesome looking army!!
Thanks very much.
WOW, this is absolutely rock-fu##ing-tastic! 💪 The Banners, colorshemes and all the love for funny details are mindblowing!❤ Thx for the inspiration! All the best, have fun!😊
Thanks very much. I’m taking them out for a 2250 game for the first time in a long time. Good to have the morale boost going into it.
Your first army is really interesting. And well painted too. And, of course, an awesome collection! Cheers!
Thanks. Technically my first army was my 40k Rogue Trader Ork army. Eventually I’d like to do a video on that. Nostalgia, you know.
@@dmgashbad4908 Nostalgia is half the pleasure of our hobby ;) Your collection inspired me to get back to painting my Dark Elves. Thanks for the channel!
Beautiful army. Very glad that a lot of options you lament as missing made it back with the Old World.
Thanks. Yeah, it’s nice that savage orc heroes can ride chariots again, and orcs can have bows and shields (in fact, there doesn’t seem to be a reason not to give orcs with just shields bows as well). Goblins are back to not being able to take bows and shields, which is fine. The base size for a three-wolf chariot actually got smaller for some reason. I’m still working through the new rules, though.
Amazing video! So many cool conversions and themes. I have about 3000 points of unpainted greenskins myself so this is really inspiring!
Thanks. I hope your Orcs & Goblins have good luck rampaging across the Olde World.
Recently getting back into the hobby. Obsessed with making a Night Goblin horde. This has given me some ideas... Thanks for showing off your awesome army!
Fantastic. Good luck on your army. I thought I would never have to paint another Night Goblin, but now with the Old World, I’ve been looking at finishing up a couple of those units and adding some characters myself.
Very cool work and excellent conversions. I really like your chaosy orcs, (gorkamorka orks those guys end up everywhere!)
And what a massive army!
The ghost snotlings and bat trolls are excellent too
Thanks. I guess if you give Orks a bunch of vehicles they will end up everywhere.
I just love the stories for each unit in this video. Better than a movie. :D
Thanks. I don’t know if I agree. Maybe better than a Nicholas Cage movie...
Fantastic collection, an inspiration for us all !
High praise. I’m a subscriber to your channel and you have some fantastic armies there.
@@dmgashbad4908 Cheers!
This is amazing!
Everything about this army is great. The handpainted banners, the conversions. Everything!
Since I'm a sucker for the undead, I liked the Sylvanians a little bit more.
Thanks. The Sylvanians were fun to paint. Except for the bases. Wouldn’t mind growing that section of the army at some point.
As others have said I think this is the best army I have ever seen. Painting, collecting, conversions, background, fluff, all A+++. I would like to know if you have a painting guide online or if you'd be willing to answer some questions over discord or some other method because I find this extremely inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
Sorry for the delay in a response. I take a big break from the channel in October to focus on Halloween. I don’t have a painting guide as such, but generally I paint everything the same way, so any painting video I have will demonstrate what I do. It is the old way, though. It’s slow and there are more recent methods that are better in many ways, so I’m not sure I would encourage anyone to paint the way I do. I did recently set up a Discord account as DM Gashbad. I haven’t used it very much, but I imagine there’s a way to contact me through that.
Very unique army and those vampire squids are fantastic.
Thanks. Squigs are some of my favorite models ever.
This is incredible thank you for sharing
Thank you, and you are welcome.
Epic army, some of the conversions were nothing short of incredible
Thanks. For many years I painted the models just as they came. The conversions were something that came later as I got more comfortable with the hobby. Glad you like them.
Fantastic collection, thanks for the video.
You are welcome.
Fantastic work .
Thanks. Always appreciated.
The boar dropping cracked me up. Nice army
Glad you liked it. It’s a little reminder of how I was when I was young and immature, instead of just old and immature.
I started playing/collecting in 2004 as a 14 year old.
Still doing so to this day. Still fantasy (O&G) and some 40K.
This warms my heart :)
I remember getting the collectors guide for O&G soon after i started and seeing all those older models that you couldn' get anymore.
Reading up and hearing about their history was very interesting.
I have to say, out of all your models, i think i love your Giant the most.
Such a great conversion 'and' paint job.
I would love to hear more about the individual pieces and bits, the paint scheme and just the entire process in general :)
(i know you mentioned Stegadon, but still :p)
Sure. I pulled out the model and I guess there’s more to it than I remember. The head is covered with a Lizardman skull totem and a 40k Ork ironjaw. The back of the neck is covered by the Stegadon howda stairs.
The howda base is on the Giant’s back, and the Engine of the Gods howda crest is upside down on the Giant’s chest. Various Engine pieces were cut up to make a kind of belt on his front. Ogre gut plates were used on his shoulders and knees. His hips are armored with kite shields topped with Tomb King banner tops. I also stuck the Giant’s big stone wheel under his right arm. Lizardman and 40k Ork glyph plates run down his arms. The top of the middle thing in the Engine of the Gods sits under his left arm. The bottom of that middle thing is his belt buckle.
I added a lot of green stuff fur. For painting, the fur is brown, the skin I made a blue-gray, and the banners and scales were dark red. The gold is golden brown mixed with burnt umber, washed with burnt umber, and highlighted up by adding a very bright metallic gold.
Hope that helps. It’s been a while and clearly I forgot what all I did with that guy. Feel free to ask any more questions about the process and thanks for the comment.
Wish I put such dedication in my O&G army, which is easly over 10,000 now ;) I dont` have many models before 6 ED. those banners you created are one of the best I`se seen i my life :)
Thanks. And great work having such a large horde. That’s no small feat with Greenskins.
Top work. As someone has already said, a battle report with all of them would be fantastic.
Hopefully someday.
Ace bit of inspiration. Thanks for sharing
Happy to do it.
I love this army! I remember seeing most of those models on Da Warpath.
Ah, Da Warpath. I miss forums. Facebook groups do not work as well as a resource. Of course, maybe what I really miss is a job with lots of downtime and unrestricted internet access.
Havent played in 22 years . This has made me want to play
Amazing army! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. My pleasure.
Insane army, absolutely insane
Thanks. No sense making a sane Orc & Goblin army.
Great army! For the black ork banner you dont like: I would add more white "blinky" highlights or an OSL effect to the metal head... Maybe both? :D
Again, super nice army. Videos like this keep motivating me to expand my army to a size I always wanted.
Thanks. My recollection is that I tried a lot of ways to fix that skull as I was painting it. I didn’t try osl but I know I attempted some star point highlights. I dunno, nothing seemed to quite work. But I have a Silver Surfer model and some Khorne daemons I want to try some chrome effects on. Maybe I’ll learn some stuff from that.
This is... I havs no words! Amazing!
Thanks. But I think the reason you don’t have any words is because I used them all up talking about Orcs for over an hour.
This is some massive dedication. Great paintjobs, names, conversions, etc. The whole thing oozes love and care that so few armies do nowadays.
Totally stealing those ghost goblin conversions, that's a great look. Did you just use a small Dremel to do it?
That is exactly what I used. A surprisingly easy conversion that makes for an even easier job when it comes time to paint.
Man that reminds me of the old days when I used to collect fantasy orcs , I much prefer the old models , recently rebought some of the old metal models I had as a kid on ebay cant wait to paint. Amazing army well done.
That’s great. Yeah, I like the old models, too. They seem so happy to be out in a war. Have fun painting!
These are beautiful!
Thanks. Very nice of you to say so.
I love it ... ive got a 18750 point chaos armi 8th ed
Wow. It’s hard to imagine 10,000 points of Orcs & Goblins slowly backing away, but I thing we would do that if we came upon a Chaos army that big.
Excellent force!
Thanks!
Amazing models, im currently collecting all cool oldhammer / rogue trader minis that i can get my hand on, last things i got were Egrimm van Horstmann and a unit of 10 2nd edition Legion of the Damned ^^
Those are nice models. Good luck. It’s crazy how much some of that stuff costs on eBay these days.
@@dmgashbad4908 yeah, but in germany we have ebay.kleinanzeigen which is like small ads where people usually sell things a bit cheaper. But if you look to buy some unpainted oldhammer models from 'bigger sellers' on ebay then you pay a good amount of money xd
Wish you a nice weekend ^^
Awesome! My dream is making a whole unit of stabbas from my favorite model of all time , the night goblin that is giving his enemies the finger. Sadly I would probably have to 3d print them because of never being able to find enough of that model from the early 90's
I’ve got bags of old metal Night Goblins that I would love to paint one day, but I don’t think I own one of those guys. I think that means I can’t call myself a true Oldhammer Orc & Goblin player.
@@dmgashbad4908 naw it just wasn't a popular seller for some reason. They both came out in 92 I think, or at least the night goblin did I've only seen a few come up on eBay .
i love the old minis I so wish I knew about Warhammer wen I was a kid
I only learned about it when I was in high school. That’s the thing about these hobbies. You stay with them long enough, your new stuff becomes old.
Reminds of when i first got into Warhammer when 3rd edition was massive and slipped into 4th edition .
Yup, that’s about when I started.
really nice army
Thanks.
Really nice army!
Thanks! I’m a little surprised people are willing to watch an hour long video of me rambling about my green skins, but I’m glad some people like it.
I only have one comment: WAAAGH!!! Nicely done and excellent work!
Hey, Commander CheapSkate! I watch your channel all the time. Love the Mordheim and 8th edition videos. Thanks for the kind words.
@@dmgashbad4908 You are very welcome! And thank you for your viewership! WHFB for ever!
Incredible army
Thanks. They don’t always fight so well, but they try to look go while doing it.
Incredible
Thanks.
I love this
amazing army!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
I'm looking forward to see how the new orc boy kits look when they eventually release them for the new warhammer fantasy
I just hope they’re not too big. As it is the current Orcs are huge compared to the old metal guys.
Pure awesomeness!
Thanks!
FLGS owner; "Even if the walls could be breached, it would take an army beyond reckoning. Thousand!"
Gashbad; "Tens of thousands."
FLGS; "But my lord, there is no such force!"
Gashad; *sets down massive miniature carrying cases
Such a great scene. When I saw it in the theater I thought “That’s exactly how I feel standing over my miniature armies.” That said, it took me hours to move all my models from the cabinets to the table. The thought of taking them to a FLGS is terrifying.
Просто восхитительная армия! Любоваться ей просто удовольствие!!!
Superb
Thanks!
Best army I've ever seen. I love a good Greenskin army.
Thanks. Greenskins are the best.
Amazing
Thanks. Always nice to hear.
Awesome army
Thanks!
Fantastic green skins army! 🤩Love your paintjob! Do you have tutorials video for paint orc and gob like this please?
I do have some tutorials, one on prepping models and the other on my painting method. Links:
czcams.com/video/4r7AEmc5pdc/video.html
czcams.com/video/HqCWMNnPQq4/video.html
The only things to note are I typically only use one layer of sand for the grass bases, and my formula for green skin is a little different. It’s Seminole Green+Midnight Blue, Seminole Green+more Midnight Blue wash, then the highlights: Seminole Green+less Midnight Blue, Seminole Green, Wedgewood Green, Wedgewood Green+Apple Green, and then Wedgewood Green+more Apple Green.
Thank you!! Hope you make more videos love your work ^^@@dmgashbad4908
Amazing collection. I love how your models have names and backstories, this really give them another dimension. The amount of detail, thought and conversions is mindblowing. Now i am really looking forward to Warhammer The Old World release, it seems like orcs might get some re-releases. Although it's hard to beat old GW models, just love that retro style. Btw is there any website where i can see still pictures of your army ?
Thanks. I used to have a bunch of stuff posted on an Orc and Goblin forum called Da Warpath, but it looks like a lot of it is gone. I did find this old thread with some of my pictures: www.tapatalk.com/groups/orcgoblinwarpath/the-army-of-skull-chasm-t34891.html
As a dwarf lover I’m currrently terrified
I’ve seen this army fight Dwarves. Sadly, I think you have nothing to worry about.
@@dmgashbad4908 ok good
I would love to see a showcase video where you just take each piece, place it on a rotator at a slow speed with nice lighting - then just appreciate.
That’s like 700 models... maybe I could look into that for a smaller army or warband first. As it is, I haven’t spent much time figuring out a good lighting system. I appreciate it, though.
@@dmgashbad4908 I 100% understand. If you do end up doing a small warband - can your sample be a small set of say.. Idk. Goblins? Heh
Nice army. good old days of WHFB VI
Thanks. I liked all the days, from III to XIII.
I have watched this video a few times and love seeing all the minis in it. You mention you have more. When will these be done and added?would you do another video of whats not painted?
Wow, that’s great. Unfortunately, it’s taken me decades to paint the group I have now, and the last few years I’ve been working on other armies. It would be a long, long time before I have enough new Orcs and Goblins painted to show off in a new video. And you don’t want to see the unpainted stuff. Just thinking about how much there is terrified me...
@@dmgashbad4908 thank you for the reply. I find the video inspiring. It makes me want to start collecting orcs and goblins. I will look forward to seeing the next video however long it will be. Keep up the amazing and awesome work on this army
thats the most gorgeous army I have every had the joy to see. Congrats. Wow. How much is resell price of these rare or even unique models in 2022? 10.000€?
Thanks. I don’t know what the stuff is worth, but don’t tell my family. I’ve got at least that many models still unpainted in the garage and I don’t want them getting any ideas.
@@dmgashbad4908 if you want to sell your garage metal stuff, i would buy it! :)
very cool army, thanks for sharing. A shame that all those fantastic models are costing so much , or I would suddenly have a new project.
Thanks. Yeah, I thought they cost a lot even in the old days. But this army was mostly made from a series of small purchases over a very long time. I just don’t want to think about what it all ended up costing.
Fantastic.. ^^
You painted really good from the start, nice to see. I remember those Fantasy Warriors boxes. Don´t think I ever bought any though. I played 40k back then anyways.
Thanks. I feel the old paint jobs were pretty poor, but I tried to at least be neat and use some highlights. The old set was a great box, and I still prefer some of them to the more recent plastic models.
@@dmgashbad4908 Oh yeah!
that is sum prop'r green orkiness
oh yea what is the set or real name of Gashbad beergut I would love to get that mini for warhammer quest its perfect
If I’m thinking of the same model you are, it’s an old Marauder model with the code OCG1.
Superb army, you have this one more that of the Empire?
Thanks. If I’m understanding the question correctly, yes, this is my largest army. My Empire and Vampire Counts are only about 2000 points each.
must have took over an hour just to place them out lol.......i love all the banners by the way.
Thanks. And yeah, set-up took a loooong time.
What Chaos Axe / arms are those on the Orc Warboss, I’ve seen that axe somewhere before?
The axe is from an old Dragon Ogre with a great weapon, if we are talking about the same Orc. The Warboss on foot with the big mask helmet, right? Mohrhate of Da Bad God?
Yeah big fan of what you did there, looks like you converted his armour at the top of the pauldrons with green stuff right?
Yeah, I added some green stuff fur to help join his cape, which was a plastic Chaos banner.
Any tips on how you hollow out the night goblins faces
Great question. I recommend getting a Dremel rotary tool. They’re not very expensive, and the ball-like attachments make jobs like this very easy. I don’t invest in a lot of equipment (‘cause I’m cheap), but I use the Dremel all the time and if you plan on doing a lot of conversions I would highly recommend it.
20,000 ROARING ORCS
And my 250 or so Orcs roar back.
DATZ A LOTTA BOYZ
Love that the kitbashing and the army tells a story, tho the Empire Fanboy in me no likey the Knight being used as a shish kabob but hey that's Warhammer
If it makes you feel better, the last campaign I played in was using an Empire force, so hopefully one day I’ll do an army video about them. Though DATS A LOTTA BOYZ is the orciest comment I’ve gotten, so maybe at heart you are really an Orc & Goblin player...
@@dmgashbad4908 Well the Greenskins are definitely a faction that's pretty much impossible to not love, they're great, though I'm a sucker for The Best Empire's XVI Century Holy Roman Empire look
So jealous.
