WH40K: Space Orc force from Yesteryear
« on: February 13, 2024, 12:19:57 PM »
Admittedly, I am not the most experienced painter of green skins, because I don't own any. Every now and then I'm asked to paint a few as commission for others and here is another lot of those:

Those old models ooze character, and the paintjob certainly does them justice - superb. 8)

Wow. Fantastic. The yellow really pops without being too garish.

That's awesome!!  8)

I still need to make a start on mine, and I'm pretty jealous of the dread too...

And hex-bases? I know they're probably the customer's choice, but it's kind of odd ???  Oozing old-school, but a bit odd...
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Yeah, they are my Dredd Hex Bases, each of the 40K warbands has a different shaped base. IG are on squares, the Squats are on round ones. These are Hexes I have always hated the way their stick out over the edge of the round bases. >:(

I will be having a Rouge Trooper Squad soon, not sure what they'll be on...

You're running out of the regular shapes!  lol

How about triangles? Ovals? Rectangles?  Pentagons? Rhomboids?
