And a couple more - getting on for good-sized SBH warband, or a Lion/Dragon Rampant unit or two:

Another shot of the archer - probably my favourite of the Perry Orcs. I think the contrast in naturalism between him and the Adams crossbowman and armoured leader in these shots showcases the quality of the Perry sculpts:

Love the colours you use. Also good to see more of the asgard lizard. :)

Cracking orcs! The grey skin's a great choice for them.

Your way with the brush & eye for colors work well with the Old Lads. VERY WELL DONE!

Thanks!

Here's an old Trish Morrison beastman. To my eye, hers are the best that Citadel have done. I love the old Perry Broo (a slightly different sort of beastman: menacing and savage rather than damned and forlorn), but the Morrison beastmen have a Moorcockian weirdness, a variety and a wretchedness that has yet to be surpassed.

Agreed - these are lovely (especially those extraordinary shields!) and I've had to share them with friends not on here.

More please! Especially the classic lead :)

Great work on the figures. I too really like the old Armoured Orcs - and I have too dug mine out of a box so that they can be used for SoBH.

Thanks, all! Much more to come ...

Here are some works in progress from a warband that I hope to complete tonight (if the kids ever go to bed ...). I had a lot of Nick Lund orcs in the 80s, some of which I painted a deep red colour. I found a few of them in the basement and was reminded of them by [url+http://olde-skool-warhammer.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/red-orc-blood-moon-tribe.html]this blog[/url]. I plunged a few into Dettol, got a few more on eBay and have started work on an eight-strong SBH/FF warband that I'll expand to a 12-strong Lion/Dragon Rampant unit. I think I have enough for another of those as well, eventually.

Here are the first two. They need a bit more work and some heraldry.

My four-year-old daughter joined my son and me for a post-prandial game of SBH. Her involvement led to the deployment of some ... special forces:
