Orcs & Goblins o' the Old Skull Tribe - Jun. 28: big pic dump p.2

[Spooktalker]

A friend of mine pointed out the expression of the following dude with 2-handed axe and to paraphrase his sentiment: they look so happy but you're not at all fooled. He could go from standing around grinning to lopping heads in a split second. When he's done he'll go back to standing around grinning, no remorse, just fond recollections of it and eager anticipation of doing some more of it. That's why he looks like pleased with himself in the first place. He's got two shrunken heads on his belt as souvenirs. It's these too-pleased-with-themselves orcs you have to watch out for, with the shit-eating grins, as they're true psychopaths.

And the finale... group shot:







You may also see I slipped a few more in here that haven't got the individual-shot treatment yet, the night goblins and squigs. Watch for more night goblins in the future, I pretty much have an army of them. As for the squigs, they are some of my most successful figures of all time I think. Couldn't be more happy with them. I do plan to give their tongues and teeth a coat of gloss varnish, though, and I'll give them the individual treatment when I do.

The set can be viewed in its entirety at flickr along with the rest of my collection in the improved flickr interface: http://www.flickr.com/photos/spooktalker/sets/72157633012161816/

And I put these up on Coolminiornot for any who'd like to do me the service of rating them. Let's show 'em what these old figures can be.

Ok, that's it for now but there are a bunch WIP and hundreds more to go.

Dear Mr Spooktalker,
I would like to thank you for taking me back some twenty years plus, to my teenage years when I used to have these figures, and wish that I still did.
You have painted them in a style that takes me back to the same period but with a much more professional touch.
I would like to say that I much appreciate the walk down memory lane but would also like to say that now you have made me want these great figures all over again, and for that I ammore than  a little peeved....

Dammit, man!
I want these figures now!
What have you done to me....?
 

 



Beautiful and subtle paintjobs, sir.
Stunning and I love 'em.
All of 'em!

[DeafNala]

The Lads & Whatever painted up to a level I scarcely would have believed possible. The massed effect is STUNNING. FANTASTICALLY WELL DONE!
