The Jugganaut Crag Boys
JCB themed orc heavy movers. Yellow, rusty and spikey.
Rusty Yellow Orcs
I bought the core team for these guys second hand on ebay for a tenner. They were dark red and dry brushed silver. Pretty messy. I couldn’t be bothered removing the paint so I just dry brushed a load of white over them and started slapping speed paints on. I think it was while I was playing DnD. I wasn’t being at all precious, just getting paint on and seeing what contrast paints can do.
They started turning out better than I thought. Then I ended up buying the forge world extra positionals to supplement them. They cost way more than a tenner.
And then I wished I had stripped back the paint and actually reassembled them properly. One of the line orcs has a very strange leg joint.
However, from a distance they work great. On the table top it is VERY CLEAR where your players are and as a team they look pretty heavy metal grime.
The colour concept was JCB diggers.
I used them the first time I attended Monster Bash in Darlington in …. 2022 I think? My friend John borrowed them for a friendly tournament we ran. He faired better and had fun playing an orc passing game.

The blitzers
The biguns
The throwers
The Orc linemen
The Troll
This bruiser came with a goblin team bought second hand online. The other troll I gave away as a prize in a sevens tournment. No idea what range this is. He’s a metal troll.
The Mascot
For the Monsterbash tournament, they allow teams to have a free mascot inducement if they have a painted miniature. This is a halfling with a lot of hurriedly applied green stuff on it to look like a ball. For a halfling who is a mascot for an orc team I think he looks suitably downbeat.
