A lovely old 'C Series Fighter', possibly even an older original FF series, I don't know. Anyhoo, he came in a batch with other stuff and needed a replacement sword but the TLC was worth it because he's a handsome chap.

And now the last 3 Orcs of a regiment I've been trying to collect and paint for 35+ years, Harboth's 'Black Mountain Boys'.

Beautiful work,you are possibly the most unique miniature style ,in some ways you remind me of Roman Lappat,very painterly.

That’s a beautiful collection of classic orcs - superb painting!

Those are great. Weirdly I'm painting up Harboth's boys right now, as well, though now I've seen yours I might bin mine

Fantastic orcs ❤️

Oh wow, you are right about that fighter, very nice model.
But those orcs take the biscuit, cake and cake stand. love the mottles on their skin, and their rangy looks - they seem more menacing than their bulkier more modern descendants.

Terrific stuff - really characterful!

Thanks dyoods, very kind. I must say I'm gonna miss not having at least one of these little fellas lurking on the desk while I'm painting other jobs for people. They've always been there as some to turn to, to keep me fresh and interested as a change from whatever someone else has asked me to do. Now some of their mates get to take a turn.

Amazing! That skin-mottling or scaly effect is terrific, and the variety is tremendous - I love the variations-on-a-theme shields. And what a glare on Harboth himself!

(Looking at the champion's helmet, I'm struck by the notion that Yaskin Forit is a sort of Perry tribute to Kev Adams' conversions of Perry orcs.)

A quick one-off for our own LAF'er 'thebinman' as a bit of fun and a diversion. He's a great old C Series 'Dwarf Veteran' who's had his slotta snipped off so he can be mounted on a 2p coin.
