Tolkien Orc Kitbash p.24 - Second batch of Uruk-Hai, and more trolls painted.

Now I can add: elephants are not usually grey 

That's right! I have for a very long time been trying to convince people that they are pink!

[Captain Blood]

Basically I think you are right 

Similarly 'black' human skin is actually just very dark pink, where the pigmentation is so strong that it appears brown, in various shades and depths.
It's why I always use 'flesh' skin tone paints as a base, even when painting figures portraying non-Caucasian ethnicities.
All people are full of blood, and it's the red blood beneath the skin that gives all human beings an essentially pinkish hue.
Same with elephants, evidently

Finally someone listens!

I always listen to you, Peder

Now, here is something to ride through your Rohirrim village and lay waste to it...

After a bit of a hiatus working on some other stuff, I've now finished my troop of wargs

These are essentially just heavily pimped versions of the Oathmark wargs and riders.

The wolf faces are brilliant and fun to paint. But the combination of largely hairless bodies and 'feathery-looking' manes and tails just didn't sit right with my vision of shaggy, disreputable giant wolves.

So they had a good shave followed by an almost complete overcoat of Green Stuff. I've also swapped the heads around between the bodies, and altered the attitude of a couple of them a bit further by raising their front or hind quarters on the groundwork.

The figures are more or less the Oathmark goblin riders (one metal, five plastic) with a few bits and pieces of kitbashing here and there on the plastics, and fur capes added from Green Stuff.

Love the colors, the extra fur and the pose variations! The wolves are not the best sculpts in the Oathmarke range, but You improved them a lot.

[Little Odo]

A powerful bunch of wolf-riders. Great conversions and paintjobs to match. Nicely done.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great work as usual mate. The greenstuff work on the Wargs really pays off, they look much how I imagine them.

[Hammers]

Excellent, Richard! And these mutts are welcome to throw themselves at the pallisades of Everburg (my Rohan settlement).

...What a lovely scenario, really, seeing a pack of war overrunning the settlement scoring victory points by goring civilians  left and right till the cavalry arrives...

Very ambitious to re-robe the wolves completely, but it certainly paid off! I have been a bit hesitant purchase the Oathmark wargriders because of the somewhat mixed reviews of the wolves.

[Silent Invader]

They certainly look hatefully aggressive 

[Pattus Magnus]

Those are excellent- as the others have said, the texturing adds a lot to the figures and your paint jobs are great. I like the other kitbashed parts too, like the replacement heads and helmets on some of the riders.

[Romark]

Nicely pimped

Great work on the wargs Richard, the fur is excellent

 

[Blackwolf]

My goodness!

[gamer Mac]

Lovely work Richard
The Warg second from the right in last picture looks decidedly happy, what has he just eaten
Looks as happy as a dog with its head out of a car window
