Saw this ages ago, think you've done a fantastic job. Sat around in the back of my brain, and lately resurfaced, inspiring me to start collecting these. My Space Orks could use some wild boyz and these are perfect.
And I have to praise the utterly bizarre and vibrant purples and greens you've used here. Do you recall what paints went into achieving the effect here?

Immense work, they're stunning!matthewjksullivan":3jlb0n9z said:Recently finding the last of the 12 original 1988 Iron Claw Black Orcs sculpted by Bob Olley, I was inspired to paint them all up. Here are the results.
I tried to make the paint job as strange as the miniatures themselves, which are plenty strange.
If you're interested, here's the advert from Citadel's March 1988 Mail Order Flyer (care of Stuff of Legends):

I loves me some Bob Olley. If you're keen for more pics, I've got loads at my website: http://www.oldenhammer.com/2014/12/bob-olleys-black-orcs-best-of-iron-claw.html
Incidentally, I have a question for those who know more about these things than I do. In later Citadel catalogues (like the blue 1986-1991 Citadel Miniatures omnibus), Bob Olley never gets any credit for sculpts (he's always anonymized as "Citadel Design Team") -- whereas Jes Goodwin, Kev Adams or the Perry Twins are all cited by name. I just find this strange.
In any case, thanks for looking!
