Thanks, Blackstone - no higher compliment!

And thanks too, TheWorker. The inspiration for the goblin colours comes from Alan Garner's The Weirdstone of Brisingamen (along with a general notion as to what subterranean humanoids might actually look like):

"Some had pug-noses, others thin snouts reaching to their chins. Their hides were generally of a fish-white colour, though some were black, and all were practically hairless."

This fellow's rather more hirsute. He's an old C15 Armoured Orc:

Bearded orc? Now that's just not right.

Looks great. I especially like how you've done the armour. The turquoise-blue fits very well.

Damn those neck-bearded orcs...

Really like these old sculpts and what you've done with them with your brush. Fantastic!
cheers-

I sure do like me a good beard. Cracking work, as always.

Another great figure - I really like the way you are painting these classic old school figures. The shield is really impressive (along with the overall colour scheme).

This is another one I have in my collection - and its great to see a modern paint job on the figure.

Many thanks!

Here's another C15 Armoured Orc. He's not quite finished, as his grisly trophies need a little more attention. They've suffered from a combination of miscasting and bashing about over the decades, so aren't particularly receptive to paint.

Cor, that fella must be great at the haka! Great work on the sword, it's nice and rusty, but not 100% rust.

Thanks! Yes, I'd see him as an old-school hooker (his scrummaging aided and abetted by his illegal headgear ...).

Old Minis have more of an appeal if they have some nostalgic ties with a misspent youth. Since it is the first time I've seen these two Guys, they're main appeal is a ton of personality AND some GREAT brushwork. SPLENDID WORK as always!

Very nice!

Thanks!

Here's another brace of little orcs:

Simply amazing work. I love how you've made the greenskins greyskins! It's a very good look.
