Title: Show me your non-green orcs!
Post by: Gabriele on April 28, 2021, 07:32:36 PM
Title pretty much says everything: please show me your orcs not painted green :)

For the record, I'm going to paint a box of GW Bonesplitters and I'm looking for interesting alternatives to the classic green.
I've found some with Google, but looking for more.

Green orcs are ...

Here my examples in 28 mm för Warlords of Nowhere and 10 mm for Battles of Five Armies/Warmaster Fantasy.

Some Orcs from different manufacturers, which I painted with a ruddy/reddish-brown complexion. Leathery base tones, reddish tones for the highlights with some sunny skin thrown in, and sepia or fleshy washes.

My Goblins were pained a dark sunny flesh tone, lighter than the orcs, to differenciate them.

All my fantasy Orcs were painted in Humbrol enamel chocolate brown back in the day. They were started before GW changed their colour scheme and I preferred the brown, so I kept it.

For my most recent modern ones I maintained the chocolate brown colour, just in acrylic.

Goblins I paint green
