Had a bit of fun recently whilst doing a job for Northstar. I decided to slip one of my old, old models into the batch and paint him up as well. I had a moderate lead mountain of elderly Orcs and this guy is hopefully just the start of the trickle. I like the brown skinned Orcs, although I might well throw some grey and green skins in later on as well.

For some reason the thread has doubled-posted - can a mod please delete this one or the other one?

Wow he's nice! In an ugly way! Great shield too!

Inspiring. I like brownskinned orcs too. What I really like about this one is how you've managed to get so much character from the orc's face. The shield is also lovely. I want to see more!

That is one seriously nasty under bite...GREAT brushwork & basing can overcome anything. AND I really like the flesh tones. VERY WELL DONE!

I'm sure his mother loves him.

Well ... nearly sure.

Such a subtle paint job.

The faded shield is especially eye catching and the skintone of the Orc matches the image so well.

You are rather good at this painting lark sir.

Great painting.

By co-incidence, I also have a load of these Orcs. I was looking at them earlier in the year, and noticed the 'blue' metal was actually starting to crumble in my hands. I thought, if I don't at least undercoat them, there won't be a collection soon. (I bought 5 of them in 1983, the rest I got off a Mail Order Troll when I was at GW 1988). So I cleaned them up, undercoated, fixed broken bows etc, and got an army standard painter to do them all green! I've got a nice little Old Skool orc army now, only took 30 years. It's got 5 Wyvern riders.

I should ask you to do the general?

Ohhh really cool. I just love these kind of old orc sculpts.

Cool, why not. Which model is it?

I've got a smattering of the old Orcs - some pre-slotta, some slotta - and the Death Comandoes set to be painted. I'm trying to build up the old Ugezod's Black Orcs regiment (got the characters now, just about getting a couple more troopers) but It's just a sneaky side-project, all about nostalgia, and I'm not bothered about really having a gaming army at all.
