Army of the Month: Nick Bayton’s Orcs and Goblins

THE SHORT VERSION

Battle for Skull Pass inspires Nick to begin with a production line of roughly two hundred Goblins. Quick, repeatable painting produces the army’s bulk, while characters and monsters receive more individual attention. Names grow out of battlefield successes and mishaps, from dependable archers to Skarsnik’s elite bodyguard. The expanding collection becomes a record of those games rather than a project with a fixed endpoint.
