I've been working on some fantasy rules for about a year now (looking to publish) and finally got my orc army together for it.

Very nice looking army.

Are the spiders the Pendraken ones?

Yep the spiders are Pendrakens.

I think they're a bit 'flat', or rather 'flattened', but the way they're cast means its difficult to bend them into something a bit more dynamic.  Still pretty good though.   :D

I'll be doing the dwarves/gnomes next.

Really nice stuff...Nice to see more rules on the horizon using big bases
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Looks great, looking for a excuse to use my halflings and goblins.

Well, that's true, but green is kind of traditional now!

I do have plans for LotR armies too so they'll be 'proper' coloured, and i probably won't use orc figures for the orcs...

Cheers chaps, i think it really shows what 10mm figures do best - not a few figures on a 40x20mm base but a real 'mass' on a decent base.  100x50mm also gives a bit of space to create a sort of diorama, which is what i tried to do with each 'warband'.

They'll do fine for HotT, but i created these for a set of rules i've been bumbling about with for a while now.  They seem to work pretty well too.  My 'playtesters' have almost immediately started rebasing their Warmaster armies!  Hehe... ;D

I'm kicking off the dwarves to oppose these orc chaps, but i'm struggling with colour schemes.

Individual heraldry? 
Purple / red?

I'm thinking i'd like to go 'earthy' tones (brown/green/stone grey)...

Not sure.

Maybe go down the 'Norse' looking route for Dwarves, then you could get the best of both worlds with earthy tones and some gaudy colours thrown in for leaders etc
