em4 Miniatures Grenadier Orcs challenge

[sukhe_bator]

Brandlin - that is a cool Nick Lund collection! Now all you have to do is paint 'em!!!
I dearly wish I'd had the money at the time to add to my collection when new sculpts came out...
Hence my excitement when I spotted the Lund-esque Em4 orcs
Sadly my current camera is s**t but I will attempt some pics as soon as I can dig out my collection from storage
As for mould lines - persevering with chiselling away with a craft knife to separate the flash without losing any flesh was a slow process. I had limited success with filing/sanding since it left the plastic surface roughened and I couldn't get into the nooks and crannies very well.

Necromancy I know but just raising this thread as I last night I watched H:Bot5A.... rubbish film but this is an inspiring force of Orcs. Well done. 

[sukhe_bator]

Many thanks,
I'll see if I can't dig 'em out for a photo call... pics'll be s**te tho

[sukhe_bator]

Finally... two cameras later (drum rolls), pics of the horde almost complete...

Now do it all again...twice!

[Vermis]

   Job's a good 'un! Even the smaller tweaks are more effective than I imagined, and the effect in each block is excellent. At arm's length you could easily mistake them for units of GW multipart orcs, or sumpthin'.

Great final result ! 

It's also a good way to build a dragon rampant extra cheap army !

£50 all in for 150 figs, that's 12 and a half 12 man units for LR or approx 50pts worth - £1 a point not bad eh?

[sundayhero]

Sure ! Especially thinking that you can buy orcs and dwarfs, so you can make a dragon rampant 2 players set for a very reasonable price !

Who said our hobby (especially in 25-28mm) was expensive ?  

[sukhe_bator]

You'll also need to factor in the cost of a box of elastoplast... It's easy to nick your fingertips when converting the models 

[Golgotha]

That is a very impressive horde and loving the numerous conversions. You are more than welcome to post more of that Orcish loveliness. Cracking job.

[Mason]

Superb!
 

As a horde they look even better as you would never guess that they are from so few a number of initial poses.
Top drawer, sir.
Top drawer.

Nice ... and scary !!! ... very cool

[sukhe_bator]

I have to say I am sorely tempted to do a shedload of dwarves,
I like the idea of the crossbowmen with Perry WoTR/HYW archers mantlets and some phalanxes of spear and shield armed khuzdul

I like the cut of your jib, sir.
