Those are just great! I see them as filling a role in my AA Fomorian force...

Damn productive. He looks great, as always. Bigger than I thought he would be.

Cheers! Yes, the orcs would be a great fit with the Fomorians - the later ones (not the ones that were originally Grendel) were designed by the same person, I presume.

Here are a couple more (Citadel old and newish). More than enough for a complete base now - there won't be more than one big chap per base, lest they look too formidable - but I want to have a good batch before I work on basing them up.

Great orcs! They remind me of Russ Nicholson's artwork for the early Fighting Fantasy game books.

Thanks! I love the Beardsley-esque Nicholson orcs - backwards hand and all!

Here's another one for the hordes. I want to include quite a few larger goblins (and some very small ones), to add to the irregularity of it all.

Et tout seul ...

Very nice. Is that wolf shield freehand?

Thanks! Yes, just a base of bone-colour paint, some light grey over the top and white over that. I used a micron pen for the whisker-dots and to outline the teeth, but the rest was done with the brush.

Another little orc ...

Hobgoblin · « **Reply #505 on:** July 22, 2016, 01:36:40 AM »

And the hordes to date. Basing should begin next week, as there are another eight close to completion.

I do like the colours on these figures, and the wolf shield is very good.

I assume the slotta bases are just temporary for painting?

Thanks! Yup - the tabs will be sliced off in a frenzy of gluing and basing once a batch of Essex HoTT-compatible bases arrive next week.

I'm aiming for five figures per horde base if a bigger goblin is included and six otherwise.

Such amazing paintjobs!

Thanks!

Here's an attempt to paint up an old orc as a Runequest dark troll.

(His helmet has an Indian-style swastika in relief, hence the tissue paper.)
