Phil these old orcs look amazing, i love the Asgard stuff and Nick Lund ones

Thank you very much Constable.

Here you are a new group of Orc warriors, once again from various manufacturers.





These two minis are rather recent since they were made by Reaper Bones:


Whereas the next four were made during the early 80s by Citadel:

Great job! They look excellent and the mix of older and more recent figures works well together.

[Constable Bertrand]

Green and rust looks great together, and all the manufacturers blend seamlessly too.

[DeafNala]

GREAT LOOKING STUFF! Your mix of mini makers' creations works well. AND your brushwork & bases are OUTSTANDING.

[Philotep]

Thank you very much for your comments, it's very encouraging!

The painted army so far is made up of:
- 50 Orc warriors
- 15 Elite warriors (Rackham figures, larger than the others)
- 11 archers
- 8 Wolf Riders
- 2 heavy Boar Riders (Mantic plastic)
- 4 Trolls
- 1 giant Troll
- 1 Goblin catapult with 4 crew

Still a lot to do! On the workbench:
- 50 warriors
- 14 archers
- 8 Boar Riders
- 3 Orcs for a foot general element
- 7 Wolf Riders
- 1 Orc Wizard on wolf
- 5 Elite warriors

and also Goblin Allies:
- 1 General on his war chariot
- 15 Goblin Warriors (I need at least 25 others, I will buy some at Knightmare miniatures, and I'm looking for old Kev Adams references)
- 12 Goblins on giant spiders (Wargames Atlantic - first spider on its way)

And probably some others if I find time or if I don't stick to the plan

The orcs look great, I like that giant roll too.

[Philotep]

Thank you hubbabubba.

Hi! A new recruit for my Orc army, none other than an Orc wizard on wolf.







Some of you will have identified an old but very nice figure sculpted by Nick Lund for Grenadier. I will also use him as a general.
Hope you like him

See you soon for another unit.

[Pattus Magnus]

Excellent! I love your painting on him, it brings out the character in the old boy.

Great work on these guys.  Love the shaman.
