[Losteriksson]

I feel this project is outstanding. Awesome minis painted with an even more awesome paint scheme. Brilliant work!

The purple and green on the dragon is an especially striking combination. Very nice!

Thanks guys

Here is another small batch of 1980s orcs. I’ve pretty much painted up enough miniatures for two twenty orc units one with hand weapons and shields and one with Double handed weapons. I’ve sourced the last five orcs I needed to complete those two units on eBay in the last few days so once they get here they’ll jump straight to the front of the painting queue.

All these miniatures are pre-slotta three are old Fantasy tribes orcs two from the armoured range and one from the unarmoured. The big guy with the axe on his hip clearly used the same base miniature as Harboth from the Black Mountain Boys and has the description “Chieftain” under him in the Citadel Journal 2. He will be the leader/champion of one of my orc regiments. You can see all three of these minis in their original catalogue entries here

The other three are all from the Harboth’s black Mountain boys Regiment of Renown. I was lucky enough to score two great deals on two different batches of these miniatures on eBay that gave me the whole regiment with the original command but these three boys were surplus to requirements rather than waste them I painted them up and they are going to fill out the ranks of my other orc units.

those are fancy trousers for an orc.

Well when you are the boss of the King's Bodyguard you can afford to be a bit fancy

These pre slottos have a lot of character and the stripe trousers are definitely de rigour for the champion.

Those are very cool, I love all of the colours on the shields and watnots - great stuff! (oh and the bases look great).

I'm in the zone now just churning out Orc foot soldiers like an automaton I know once I've got my big regiments out the way I can paint some of the more fun stuff....

 

[Greyish beard]

Superb - they look a lot of fun!

 

[dazza36]

Don't know how I've missed this but can I just say as a fellow lover of al things green 'WOW' I just love all of it.

 

[inchmurrin]

Continuing to look great especially the red cloak.

 

[symphonicpoet]

Shields have a way of grabbing my attention. (Which I suppose is very much the point.) I particularly like the white one with the red bend. The dirtiness of the white gives it a very good feel. Lovely stuff!

Thanks at the moment I've got the miniatures for (though not all are painted)

King Fyar on a Wyvern
25 Harboth's Black Mountain Boys
20 Orcs chain mail, shields and hand weapons
20 Orcs chain mail, shields and 2 handed weapons
12 orcs (inspired by king Fyar's bodyguard in Blood bath at Orc's Drift) in Full Plate, Shields and 2 handed weapons
10 Orc Archers
10 Orc with crossbows
Notlob's Bolt Throwers regiment

Goblins (which in 2nd edition could be a separate army without orcs)
20 Grom's Goblin Guard
20 Throg's Hobgoblin Despoilers
12 Mudak's Half Orc Mercenaries (still need to work on getting the rest of the command and more troopers for these guys)

I'd like to add some lesser goblins, some goblin archers, some goblin warriors, some goblin wolf riders and ideally some of the Machineries of Destruction like the Skull crusher and Man Mangler.

I love everything about this thread. These are wonderful.

 

[twisted moon]

that's certainly a goodly chunk of an army.

 

[Tex]

So much goodness...
