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

... I look away for one second  :D

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.
Adventures? Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!

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.

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.

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.

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.)
