Lovely mix of orcs. Some really nice old pre slotta ones and the fab death commandos from Nick Lund! Top collection. :D

My first thought too, great mix of miniatures.

Cheers Elk.

Another Goblin warrior.  Pre-slotta Citadel.  Edit: Turns out he is a slottabased figure, thanks Hobgoblin for the info.

Thanks Swordisdrawn, I have no idea what range he is from.  Fairly certain that he is Citadel though.

Yes, he's an orc of the Red Eye from Citadel's 1980s Middle Earth range. (He's actually a slottabased figure!)

He looks great - and that's a lovely array of old orcs! Those grey skin tones work really well.

Oh lol, thanks for the information and correction.  With any slotta's I buy a 'conversion' base from Eureka so it's been a while since I saw what his base looked like.

And thanks for the comments!  :)

Troll King by Fenris.  Last pic is for size comparison with the Marauder Trolls. 

And lol, as I was editing the photos, I noticed two things that I forgot to paint.  :/

Great work mate! Loving how much your painting has advanced since the days of the Rum Corps Tavern (mine to :)).

Oh wow, you were there too?

Thanks for that.  Yep, absolutely, I think I have improved.  Sites like this are a gold mine for tips and techniques to try out.
