Yet more McDeath, this time a lovely and most rare Citadel Turtle Dragon, 'The Monster of Loch Lorm' itself. What a unique miniature, a real beaut.

That's not painted. You found a really baby one and glued it to a base didn't you?

Who doesn't love a Red Orc? Silly people, that's who.

I bring you the glorious Mogro Necksnapper of McDeath fame, plus a more modest footsoldier, both of whom sport that wonderful classic rust-red skin that was the norm for Orcs when I first got into the hobby.

A splendid pair! There are a few orcs sporting that sort of hue in Heroes for Wargames. It looks great - especially with your brushwork!

Mogro Necksnapper's also a reminder that there's no particular reason why an orc leader has to be some ogre-sized lump. All the McDeath-era orc chiefs were much the same size as other orcs - as was Harboth.

Just noticed the subtle bronze helmet - that's a great touch too!

And you've done as good a job on the halberdier's right arm as is humanly possible; it's no surprise that the slightly later armoured-orc variant got a chainmail sleeve!
