Nice painting! I especially like the Renegade ones and I think I can see they are big enough to be black orcs, which I couldn't tell for sure before. Am I right?

I think they are, here's a comparison pic:

I also did a little bit of work to the shaman and took a slightly better pic.

I managed to give the orcs their first outing this weekend at Foundry's God of Battles game day

Here's a quick shot of what I took (one unit of Ironskins, two of war orcs with a shaman and a goblin chariot, borrowed from my goblin army, in support) and a slightly ropey shot in their 2nd game. Jake Thornton took lots of photographs using his snazzy iPad which I expect will have come out a lot better and will probably sneak onto his blog.

The Orcs managed 1 win and 2 losses on the day, I thoroughly enjoyed myself though and am very impressed with the God of Battles game.

I'll try and put together some photos of the new units tomorrow if the light in my flat is any good.

The chariot and goblin are great and thanks very much for the comparison pic! I have some of Kev Adams harlequin great orcs earmarked to use as black orcs but I might prefer the renegade ones, or some combination. They were going to put out some new ones in connection with GoblinAid, I wonder how that is going.

That's really cool  :-*

Great choice of miniatures, fantastic overall look of the army.
Looks like big fun to play with or agianst them.

Love the Elite Boyz!

Reminds me to paint up my Heartbreaker old school orcs from Kev Adams.

Thanks for posting.

Cheers

Lovely painting. It sounds like it was a good day by all accounts.

I've had a single game of God of Battles and quite enjoyed it too. Simple, yet compelling. I found the biggest limitation is set unit size, which made things a little difficult using my existing mini collection as not all units are up to strength, but otherwise a good game. We're considering starting it in 15mm, as the minis are cheaper, and it's easy to paint the required number.

My Ironskins (or Black Orcs, or whatever a big nasty Orc is in the game I'm playing!)

without a doubt some of my favourite miniatures

My Goblin Jester, who spent Saturday calling forth the Gods to his aid (with moderate success)

A foundry miniature and another Kev Adams piece.

(coming later in the week - some tasty Mantic trolls)

Can you still buy that jester somewhere I'd love to get some dearly!

What a spicy army! I'm a sucker for generic, non-branded armies and this is just about perfect!
