Nar!
That is what orcs are supposed to be like, ask Tolkien.
;)

They look perfectly fine to me....and your friend is a lucky bugger who should be very pleased with what you have done.

Interesting as I think they are very easy to paint. I remember they almost painted themselves. Though I admit they are not the best sculpts I've seen worse.

@DowVooVoo:

I think they are pretty good. Orcs have to be dark. They don't Need to have green skin... (grumble, mumble...). :D

This...each figure has 5-10% of the figure which they simply forgot to sculpt...leaving awkward big flat areas with no detail, rhyme or reason...bugs me.

Post by: Kitsune on March 05, 2014, 10:30:40 AM: Really nice and not dark at all. Are these the GW plastics then?
Title: Re: For Mordor!
Post by: DowVooVoo on March 05, 2014, 06:43:55 PM: Yes they are GW plastics. Detail is not bad. And after a bit of paint they'll do.

pics are a bit under-exposed (even on front rank), but the figs look bloomin' good to me regardless.
