Primed and bit of zenithal/wash to bring out the detail (or missed mold line…)
Big lad had a fall and needed his snapped base reinforcing too. Argh!

The Bob Olley black orc is going to be an absolute beauty

Actually amazed at the total lack of mold line on the Black Orc! The only visible line followed the symmetry of the axe. I think the texture will actually make it sympathetic to washes and dry brushing.
The D&D Monster Set orc has some slip on the head and arm that has only come to light now…
The Ral Patha sculpt is super crisp for such an old model!

I am a bit late to the party this year, so only one Orc in Orctober this time. I picked an Orc Champion from my lead pile (more middle- than oldhammer), a suitable shield (that had been destined for a Nurgle model in the past but never finished...?) and a metal base from Products for Wargamers.
I cleaned the mold lines, cut down the bottom tab a bit, and glued the model to the base with super glue and bicarb.

First step was to brush on a grey Vallejo primer.
I first painted the skin, followed by the red armour, and started to basecoat all metal parts in paynes grey.

Some excellent orcs this year, happy to be able to participate!
So here’s my tribute - a pair of C15 Armored Orcs, hopefully a few more before the end of the month.

Liking the hoods on the C15s and evidently red hoods are the thing Golgfag's offering also sporting a very nice looking headpiece.
Liking the trio, the black orc came out nice (going to have to find my copy and see what state it is in!) and I really like the shields you've done, the face in particular is cool.

Cheers! Wanted to try out a variety of orc skin colours. Pretty basic washes and dry brushing with select highlights. The freehand shield was a challenge to my rusty brush control… Was emulating this https://www.wargametransfers.com/store/p7/_LBGK02_Mixed_Late_Greek_Shield_Bronze_Rim_(III).html

Thanks all for the kind words - loving all the red clad orcs!
Promising work KingOfTheLeadPile, looks great so far!
Great variety in style Brother Meredith, particularly like the “desert” styled orc.
Here’s another pair I completed

Next, I will get out the oils, as especially the metals are mostly one coat only and need some aging, but other parts of the model also can do with some black lining, additional shadows, etc.
