Old Orcs for new Kings of War army

[Testudo Maximus]

Hi All
I am just about to get back into my Orcs for KoW , got tired of winning with Undead . Orcs provide more challenge. These were painted about 10-15 years ago for WHFB but never saw a table top  and predominatly are much older GW Orcs .








Apologies if the images are too large , i dont know how to change it
cheers Tom

  a great looking horde you have there!  Lots of classic citadel goodness hidden in those pictures.   Looks great on the table.

That is an impressive horde and no doubt about that. I like the old GW style.

Cracking I like the fact they arent bright green too,,, proper orcssses

[DeafNala]

VERY IMPRESSIVE! The Horde is BEAUTIFULLY painted (nice skin color)...keeping to a high standard of brushwork through out is perhaps more impressive than the numbers involved. VERY WELL DONE!

[Quendil]

Love them    What colours did you use for the skin?

[Paul]

  Brilliant! I really like those catapults!

[Tacgnol]

I spy some of Ruglud's boyz in there! Also love the Doom Divers, is there a not-Doom Diver unit in KoW or are you using them as catapults or cannon or something?

[Dr. Kevin Moon III esq.]

Thats a fantastic collection.

I'd love to see more of it!

Very nice and impressive, especially in numbers!

Thankyou Chaps , for the kind replies .

I dont often get a chance to take pictures of games/armies  but ill get some more up very soon , possibly the Undead and some old pictures of my Kingdoms of Men ( read Empire ) army for KoW will make a showing .

Any chance of the colours you used for the skin as there is a small warband that I would like to paint int similar colours 

[Testudo Maximus]

The dominant flesh colour is GW Bronzed Flesh although any similiar colour will have same effect . I first cover all flesh in GW Dark Flesh or Terracotta ( or similiar )  then i block paint in all the muscles in Bronzed Flesh , it almost looks cartoony once all the muscles are defined  then add white to BF to give the highlights to all the raised edges . Close up it looks rather blotchy but from 3 feet away it looks quite visual and once there are a few hundred of them it looks ok .
I should add once i complete all the flesh areas i go back and black in all the clothing and armour and stuff  that got splashed in flesh colours so i have a new base to work from. I tend to paint around 30 figures of same type at a time to keep it consistent then once its all done mix them all up in different units across the army.
