Notlob's Orcish Bolt-Throwing Engines
For many years the only route over the Black Mountains was dominated by an Orcish settlement run by Harboth -an Orc of great size and strength. Many battles were fought within this mountain pass, the Black Fire Paw, and many heroes emerged on both sides. Dwarfs and men tried desperately to destroy the Orcs, and the Orcs in turn responded by strengthening their defences and enacting countless revenge raids on human farmsteads.

Notlob was already famous amongst his kind when he arrived at the Black Fire Pass. Had he not invented many fiendish engines of war and instruments of torture? Had he not designed and commanded the War Engines that battered down the walls of half the cities in the Badlands? No. Notlob was to apply his creative genius to designing new engines for the defence of the pass.

The Men and Dwarfs didn't know what had hit them when their next assault foundered under a driving storm of huge bolts - as large as spears and capable of piercing straight through even the toughest Dwarf armour. Further assaults proved equally fruitless, and eventually the Orcs were left alone, to continue their age-old trades of murdering travelers and plundering merchant convoys.

Notlob himself is an Orc Major Hero. He is also an extraordinary engineer, and counts as a full crew of 3 when firing a war-engine. In addition, any other engine in his unit can +1 to their normal 'to hit' score with war engines.
EQUIPMENT Bolt Throwing Engines
BATTLECRY Due to the nature of their weaponry these Orcs do not employ a battlecry as such although they will happily enter hand to hand combat, screaming, yelling and gesticulating in the usual Orcish fashion. However, unusually for Orcs, many of Notlob's crewmen can write a few words. They employ this talent to enscribe various slogans along their missiles, including such erudite witticisms as, 'Notlob does it from 300 feet' and 'Chew on this Stuntie'.
DEEDS The Black Fire Pass conflict was to earn Notlob a reputation amongst Human and Dwarf kind. However, he always considered the invention of the 'Happy Halfling Mangling Rod and Head Press' to have been his greatest achievement.
UNIFORMS Orcs do not wear uniforms.They despise uniformity and prefer to individualise all their clothing by applying a good layer of filth. They have a similar attitude to their war engines, and take great delight in giving them names and painting slogans on them. Many Orcs even keep a record of their kills on their engines, together with the names of battles and campaigns in which they have fought.

Hobgoblin Despoilers of the Dark Lands

Driven from the Old World at the end of the Goblin Wars many of the Goblins, Orcs, Hobgoblins and other allied creatures fled into the Dark Lands. The Dark Lands were then, as now, truly dark: ceaseless volcanic activity, steaming tar pits and terrible, natural pollution shielded the land from the sun. Little could grow in such a place, and very few creatures could tolerate the barren landscape, the gloom and the choking air. Throg, however, quite liked it.

From his armed camp on the eastern side of the World's Edge Mountains, Throg gathered his seasoned warriors and began to carve himself out a little empire. Soon a goodly chunk of the western part of the Dark Lands were under his control, and he began to extend his power deep into the mountains themselves. Here he and his Champion, Grunmunter the Beast, fought numerous battles in the valleys and passes of the mountains, and eventually within the Dwarf fortresses. His enemies were mostly Dwarfs, and the Hobgoblins soon acquired a taste for the flesh of these creatures. What became of this renowned fighter is a mystery, some say that he disappeared whilst leading a mixed force of goblinoids into the Dwarf Fortress of Raven's Hold. Others link his disappearance to treachery on behalf of the ferocious Grunmunter, a callous individual.
EQUIPMENT Sword and Shield.
BATTLECRY The strange and animalistic battlecry of these creatures is in the Goblin Tongue. It means , 'Mark your target well and eat it'
DEEDS Of all the many bloody and violent deeds of Throg the most often remembered is the so called Feast of the Dwarven King. On this occasion the Hobgoblins infiltrated the underground fortress of Boran Fireheart a powerful Dwarf lord. The Hobgoblins secreted themselves in the kitchens until the night of a feast, subdued the servants and disguised themselves in the aprons and other clothing of the waiters. That Boran Fireheart failed to notice until far too late that his kitche n staff were all over 6' tall and incredibly ugly, can only be put down to the general level of intoxication. The feast went ahead as usual, but instead of the planned proceedings the Hobgoblins ate Boran and his guests, while Throg entertained by torturing a troop of Halfling Juggler s unlucky enough to be passing through.
SHIELD The shields carry the emblem shown drawn in the blood of their enemies. Colours will therefore vary from bright red to darkish brown or black.
UNIFORMS Clothing is mostly made out of leather or fur, and is of various shades of brown. Grunmunter wears a huge fur cloak, and around his heavy belt he keeps his latest trophies - the heads of his victims.

Nice!!! There seem to be a lot of new goblinoid units for 1.5! Do COw team plan to make also new trolls like stone trolls and river trolls? A last question even if I know that it can be an anoying question: 1.5 released is about 40%? 50% or more!

thanks again, great stuff!

[leonn]

[Toho]

[Werebear]

Special tnx for help to T&D

[Ozzmosis]

ooh new trolls?

[panzerschreck]

ooh new trolls?

they are stone trolls, aren't they?

[The Holy Pilgrim]

I thought those were River Trolls. I could be wrong though

But anyways, fantastic models T&D! And outstanding work on your end, CoW team. Not just the trolls, but everything.

Keep up the fantastic work

[paradamed]

I think they are river trolls. They look slimey and also there is a green dude back there.

[Bardin Gorimson]

They are cute !

[wassabi]

those are some goodlooking trolls

[Martin von Carstein]

I would say that these trolls are similar to those of Dark Omen.

Even may be the trolls.

[DarkReborn]

Those are the pre-6th edition stone trolls I think. I still have some of them liying arround from when I played in my younger time, there were river trolls that were similar, but more water themed (skullfish maces, fins, that sort of things).
Plus these ones are the ones that appeared in Dark Omen.


Personally, I always preferred these ones to the new ones, these fit more on the comic relief of the Orc army.
