The orc army needed a single point element to allow me to field a complete 72 points for Big battle HotT. points totals were put 'out of kilter' by the 3 point artillery piece. In HotT there are only two troops types that cost 1 point: a horde and a lurker. The obvious answer was a horde base, which seemed appropriate to the army, but I'd run out of orc figures. So, I thought.. how about a lurker, with NO figures on the base? After all, a lurker is meant to be hard to find in terrain (not to be confused with a sneaker of course).
So, a lurker base with no figures, but surely the very idea of a lurker seems to be the antithesis of warfare for an orc army?? So, if we are going to have a lurker, surely it would lack subtlety? Would't it be the antithesis of subtlety? Yep... its presence would be announced in some way.. a tree largely chopped down? An axe stuck in the remnants of the tree? Lots of mess? Righto... here it is.... with thanks to Andy for some lateral thinking in the creative process.
Job done.. army done... what's next?
