Superb colourful and neat paintjobs, and though I hadn't tired of your dwarfs yet, it's nice to see you handle these greenskins!

And I agree with you that Abu's entry has a ton of character...the bull headed fighter is spectacular and the corpse makes the whole scene...excellent work!

Cheers,

Blue

Very good miniatures and a brilliant PJ…it is a real pity that the picture itself isn’t that good. :?

Parriah, the dead guy and the one dragging him came from the Foundry box set "School of Gladiators." The others are a mix of Crusader and Foundry.

Post by: Blue in vt on May 05, 2011, 12:40:04 AM: Haha...yeah I've had most of these for quite a while now myself...just great figures...even after I sold off most of my Green skins I couldn't bring myself to part with these guys...and now I'm glad I didn't

For those that don't recognize them they are From Marauder...some from the MB2 Orc regiment and some from the MM25 orcs. I actually had a standard bearer ready to go with them but couldn't get the banner done in time...the one I had on these from 1989 just wasn't cutting the mustard... ;D :D

Thanks for the kind words all!
