I started building the Badfangs for AoS Skirmish originally way back in 2018,
I worked on them sporadically and only just finished enough for a game. Then I
expanded them for Warcry in 2020 and used them as my warband for Animosity II.
This approach meant I didn't have to pick one or two of their options and make
all 20 of them the same way - it was really liberating and meant I had a fun
skirmishing warband with a lot of variety. I converted a couple into Wardokks
and made a single Big Stabber team. But this meant the Badfangs could only be
used in Warcry as the number of each type of Bonesplitterz were too small for
AoS.
I bought another box of Bonesplitterz orruks this week, to add to the small
groups of models to expand them into AoS size units. I don't know how much I
will actually play AoS as Warcry fills up most of my gaming plans, but I
thought it would be good to have the option!
I had 8 Morboys completed for Warcry, including a Morboy Boss (the orruk with
a great-axe from Hedkrakka's Madmob) and a Morboy with Bone Totem, so
they just needed two extras to bring the unit to minimum size: A Morboy and a
Morboy Skull Thumper:
I had 7 Arrowboys in my warband already, including an Boss (the Arrowboy from
Hedkrakka's Madmob), so they need three extras - a Skull Thumper, one with a
Bone Totem and one more regular Arrowboy.
I have completed the Skull Thumper, with a bow and quiver on his back, and
started building the Bone Totem and the last Arrowboy. I have also built
another Big Stabber team, as they are fielded in pairs in AoS.
I gave the Skull Thumper a squiggy friend (a spotter-squig from the Ork Flash
Gitz kit with some techie bits scraped off) to add a little character. I also
had a first attempt at painting one of his trinkets as a chunk of amber.
I'll get photos of the other two Arrowboys and the Big Stabber team as soon as
I have done their greenstuff cowls.

As promised, WIP photos of the next batch of Badfangs:
(Edit 2021-10-01) the new Boyz are finished.
They are now a pretty respectable 750 point AoS army!
