Hello Folks,
I am a long time lurker of this forum. In awe of the many, many talented artists that frequent here. I am currently starting this slow moving project and would love any feedback you may have for me.
cheers

Some really nice and WELL painted vintage orcs

Waiting to see the orcs with the painted bases too

Brilliant stuff.

That's proper Orc painting that is. The little dot of light in the pupil really adds a lot of life to them as well. Any secret as to how it's done? Or just a tiny brush and steady hand?

Top notch painting Sir.

The Lads in Green look FANTASTIC. Your LOVELY brushwork has brought out all the abundant character of the minis. VERY WELL DONE!

Love those old orcs

They look fantastic! Great job!

If I can ask, where are the dwarven statues in the background from?

Indeed. Good stuff.

Great paint jobs, very 'orcy'

These are magnificent orcs!

I like the way you've painted the metal parts. The weapons look worn in a suitable orcish manner. Well done.

Very very nice! I look forward to seeing progress in this excellent project.

Great collection!
Very nice paintjobs!
Clean but also rugged looking.

Thanks for the very positive responses everyone! Very gratifying.

@ Katsuhiko:

I know, I know. I usually do bases at the end once the whole unit is finished.

@ Cubs: I did not paint that effect. I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it. I think it is some reflected glare from the flash I used. In person, I think these little buggers look extraordinarily alive (it's the quality put into the sculpting).

@ Kyusumu: the statues came from a Desolation of Smaug DVD pack (as bookends) that you can probably still get on Amazon or Ebay. They are getting expensive at this point though & I heard the quality of some of these was not good. Mine were fine. My primary army is a dwarven one so I considered them a must-have when I first saw them online.

I have a large unit of Kevin Adam's Gobbos that I will turn to eventually. I am currently undecided what color scheme to go with for them though (don't think I want to go lighter with this color run -too bright for me). Any suggestions? My painting mentor thinks I should just stick with the same run but I keep thinking I might want to try something different (a brownish-yellow run or something else). Again, any suggestions?

thanks again everyone-
red

Great collection of orcs, and great brushwork, but who is that white guy hiding among the greenskins?
