Female Orcs and Goblins

I asked a friend at Little Wars gamestore in Baton Rouge, LA if there are female Orcs and Goblins in Warhammer. How do they reproduce? Do I even want to know? Gross.........ahhhhh image in my head! Well, I was told that they are in fact basically a fungus. That they spread across planets as a fungus would. I thought this was stupid. I love Orcs and Goblins (dont have an army of them, and havent played with them, just love the rules, seem like they would be tons of fun), but hate the idea of them as spores or a fungus. Stupid. I have a warhammer Empire army. They are great and all, but I find myself wishing I had built an Orcs and Goblins army instead. Yet again, they just seem like so much fun. Yea, I will most likely not win with them like the Empire army, but when I would win it would be hilarious. Anyways, I did come across this old Games Workshop Bloodbowl female orc cheerleader............
ok, maybe it is better they are a fungus. I will have nightmares now.

Taking pictures of little men

I have read a few blogs about how to take pictures of your minis. I have always read about getting a light tent, and putting your camera on macro, and then magic should happen. I guess about a year ago I bought a small light tent on ebay. It came with a foldup light tent, and two small lights, and only cost me about $15. Pretty sweet.
Here it is in all its glory. (by the way, you can always click on the pictures to make them bigger). This works great, and yet again, was super cheap. The tent and the lights all fold up in a small package. Perfect to quickly take it out, take some pics, and put it up before the wife ever knew I did it on the dinner table. (sorry hun).

My only problem is I dont seem to take great pics, even with the tent and a nice camera. I have a Canon G11 camera. Me and my wife love this camera. It takes wonderful pictures outside and at events. Only problem is, we arent very good photographers. Meaning, we dont really know how to change setting for certain situations. Anyways, where was I, oh yes, taking pictures of little men (creepy).


Here are some pics taken with the light tent and the camera:

Games Workshop Warrior Priest.

















The above pictures are of a mighty Warrior Priest of Sigmar! All hail Sigmar in all his glory. These pictures were taken with the little side lights off. The only light was the ceiling light above the table. Next will be some pictures of the same model, but with the side light on.














Here are the same pictures as above, but with the lights on. Which is better? Which makes the colors more realistic and really shows the model in a better light (ha!) Please leave a comment below and give me your opinion so I will know how to take pics from here on.

Here are some pictures of Grim Angus from Privateer Press. He is a Trollblood warlock. Yet again, there are pictures of him without the lights, and then with.
 
  














Yet again, please let me know your opinions on the lighting. Thanks.
