Random Army Generator

So, I've been working on this for a while. This is loosely based on the General's Compendium from some years back. I've made quite a few changes and gone through several revisions. The whole idea for this is that I didn't just want to put together a net-list from some tournament winner. I wanted to be able to randomly build and then organically grow my army.

The main idea behind this is that when I play an army at a certain points value, I will be able to see what worked, reinforce it, and then add unique options. I'm not saying that it's perfect at all. I consider this to be a "living" document, and one that will require constant tweaks. I'm already on the eighth version of it.

Part of what makes this enjoyable, for me at least, is that if even if you're playing one-off games you have this sort of side campaign going. You keep track of how your units and characters do, and make adjustments as you go. I've even gone so far as to name units and characters in order to track them better.

I think this could be adjusted, with work, to any of the armies out there. There are several things in here that make it distinctly "Orcy," but those could and should be adjusted as you see fit.

Let me know what you think. Have you ever tried anything like this? Any comments/critiques/suggestions?

Orc Arrer Boyz

Another rank of Arrer Boyz. Just like the other ranks, I've repositioned the arms on these guys.

The main colors for this rank are Bubonic Brown and Snakebite Leather. As usual, the non-skin areas are highlighted up with Bleached Bone. After the whole model is done, I wash it with a brown & black mix.

I used my 2:1 Devlan Mud, Badab Black mix on the 1st four and man, I did not like the way it came out. I must've got too much black or put it on too thick. They came out really dark and splotchy. Had to go back in and dry brush a lot of the base colors back in. The fifth one I messed around with some magic wash I mixed up. Then I went back in and picked out a few areas.

Skin: Camo Green, Bad Moon Yellow highlights. Washed 2:1 Devlan Mud, Badab Black
