Orc archers and warriors completed .. almost.

 

I have nearly finished painting some orc archers and some warriors.

Some of them required conversion work as repairs.

I haven’t painted faces or eyes.. these are strictly table top standard miniatures.

 

Anyhow here is the link below

Orcs & Goblins, Squigs and Herders

Painted these a few months ago, maybe longer.  I think they’re coming out a little more purple in the photo than they really are, the squigs that is, and the highlights on the goblins don’t really show, a pity really as thats probably the best aspect.  I mixed a little yellow in with the green which I’ve seen others do and it really sets the model off.  At least it works quite well on the comical goblins.

Also painted up is “the chase” a vignette of three models chasing each other.

All the squigs and herders were resin.  This was my first foray into Games Workshop resin.  The detail is great however the bubbles and mould lines were pretty disappointing.  The mould lines were difficult to remove but the bubbles in the fine details are even more difficult to rectify.  I guess it’s what you should suspect with resin but it’s quite frustrating when you pay the kind of money GW ask.

Gorbad Ironclaw

My current work in progress.  Gorbad Ironclaw.  Keen to do a good job on this since the model cost like $70 (nz).  So far painted the skin dark angels green highlighted up through snot green and goblin green with a bit of thakra (or whatever it’s called, it’s green) wash.  Red paint was done with scab red and highlighted with a mix of scab red and ruby red.  Applied a little bit of black wash to shaded areas.  Chainmail paint chips on all the high wear areas / edges.  Fur cape is mostly graveyard earth, devlan mud wash, kommando khaki and bleached bone.

The photo is not great the black undercoat is absorbing most of the light but you get a sense I guess.
