My husband Teshub inspired me so much with his consistent turn-out of A Lady A Day during June that I picked up brush and orcs.

Here we have an always frightening axe-and-shield orc:

And one of our priests using music to calm the savage beasts:

There are a few more pics on the website, and a handful of Lund's let for me to paint!

Those look mean just like they mean business.

I wish I could get my behind up and start painting again. My output is pathetic.

Nice work, I love those orcs. They were new releases right about when I got into painting. I enjoyed your Lady a Day thread and I think this will be fun to see

Nice Orcs they will look good on your tabletop.

Did I understand you correctly that you are going to paint one orc a day for a month now?

Maybe we should get together for a get-a-grip weekend with paints, minis and vintage music (my output has been at a standstill for more than a year)

I always watch in disbelief when anyone manages to finish one mini a day, I need at least 2 evenings to finish one - but maybe it's because I rarely work at only one at a time.

These orcs look very good, and also very old-school in appearance (Grenadier or something else?).

Loving these old school orcs.

I have a soft spot for the old school look and look forward to painting a few myself soon.

The Green Guys look TERRIFIC. the brushwork is every bit up to the standards of Himself...maybe even better. AND is that a GREAT smile or what? Have FUN with The Project.

Tip of the Day: if you add a tiny dot of yellow toward the center of the red eyes, you'll get a nice glowing effect.

Nice work.

I love the consistency of painting and basing in your collection, it really enhances the overall effect.

Cheers!

I like your approach to painting for the tabletop. You're not just relying on an overly heavy over a single base color to make the figures stand out. There's smooth transitions and these look good photographed up close.

Really love those old orcs and how you have painted them. I must dust some of mine off when I get a chance

Inspiring me to get back to my EM4 N Lund orc challenge... I ran out of steam about 2/3 of the way through all the conversion work...

Please do get this project up again! I would love to see that massive orc horde all together for some epic photos!

Argonor · « **Reply #12 on:** July 19, 2013, 05:32:17 PM »

@Teshub:

That horde in your signature also looks the part!

Jevenkah · « **Reply #13 on:** July 20, 2013, 04:07:46 AM »

Thanks all for the encouragement!

The orcs are awesomely old school, having been sculpted by Nick Lund and sold by Grenadier for the game Fantasy Warriors. http://www.mirliton.it/ currently produces most if not all of them. I have so much fun painting these guys, it's worth going through the piles to get to them.

As to the orc-a-day for a month proposal: I don't have enough Lunds laying about! I only have 7 or 8 left unpainted right now. That, and I don't paint nearly as fast as Teshub.

Thank you! I find it a bit anxiety-producing to put up my paintjobs at a large magnification. I really enjoy playing with multiple figures in larger scale dioramas. I get to move my camera around much more shooting those.

Thanks for the tip, and the compliments

. Teshub was appreciative of all the feedback folks gave him during the ladies a day and he feels he improved quite a bit, especially in the eyes.

We're sure we'll lose track of who painted what soon, our styles are so similar.

Ironically, I have not painted any more orcs this week because I have been painting megalithic orc structures to re-launch an old friend in an old urog character!

And the temple floor heavily inspired by Andym's board for his 7th voyages game ( http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=53194.30 finished board on pg 3 ). Any lack of resemblance to his original temple floor is solely due to my lack of execution:

We couldn't resist playing with minis even before we glued the colonnade down:

Or after we secured it in place:

I'll be getting a how-to up on the website of our work on the temple soon.
