Nice detail on the shields Jeff, Eyes front!
I've been working all weekend so now find myself at home as work won't pay over-time, so I get time in lieu, have been posting pictures of my Orcs on Tumbler in an effort to spread the work of Orctober, here's a small sample so far. Most of these chaps have traveled to BOYL at least twice and never been out of their boxes for assorted reasons!
maybe next year.
Enjoy Paul / Golgag1

Love the bloke with the crossed arms. What is he?
Here is another chip from the lead mountain and a possible entry for Orktober.
Knocked out from start to finish in less then an hour and just so much character in his face.
Originally bought as a Watch Squig for my Gorka Morka warband, I just snatched him out of the Lead mountain and went to town on him.
It was such a lovely cast it pretty much painted itself. The only reason I went with the purple was because the pots were open at the time, but it really worked IMHO.
Even it's arse was a pleasure to paint!

Thanks for all the great responses guys. My wife decided to take us away for the half term holiday so I didn't finish my own Orctober project. In light of this I'm holding entries for the prize draw open until I'm done, it woudl be unfair to kepp those runnign afew days late out when I can't even finish myself.
I'll make another summary of the various entries inthe past week and a half in due course. Now to decide what I have too much of and can safely give away.

Sorry Erny, but the rules clearly stipulate that the cut off date for submissions was at the end of the month. Better luck next year buddy

Oh OK Optimus I guess your right. So as I didn't get finnished and Optimus says I can't extend the dead line I'll have to withdraw my side of the bargin, namely giving away some miniatures.
You can all blame Optimus...
Nah I can't do that to you, particularly as I spent last night rooting through my garage, this year I'm going to give the winner a choice of prize too.

Here's a simple trick to help with your photography Golgfag. Don't use the cameras flash....ever 
It kills all colour and makes a whole lot of unsightly reflections. Also, don't take photos under fluorescent or incandescent lighting either.
Just use natural light if you can, but not blindingly bright. If you can't take pic's in the daytime because of it not being a free commodity
then use a "daylight globe" in your lamp instead, or use a LED lamp.
Oh, and remember, whichever daylight method you use make sure that your camera is switched to daylight mode in the "white balance settings".
I think if you try it out you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results
