Still love the idea of Blue skinned dwarfs.

I'm certainly sticking with it - a couple of smurfettes are on the way!

My son and I had a run-through of Shadespire the other night, and it seems interesting. I picked up the orcs and made a start on the first; I'm hoping to have this one and the other three finished by the weekend, when we're hoping to schedule some gaming with friends.

Very nice, love that blue skin (on both the orc and dwarf!).

I've been looking at dwarves a lot recently - I can feel a project based around the Lead Adventure range brewing away in the back of my mind....

What company makes that org? Is it a GW kit?

Thanks, Rory! Dwarves would be a natural fit with those cavern plans you've been mooting on your blog.

Yes, it's one of the new Shadespire "orruks". Post-Perry C15/16 GW orcs aren't really my cup of tea, but all the armour at least makes these ones fairly quick to paint up. I always find the faces of the later GW orcs very fiddly, though - I think it's because the exaggerated details don't read true with my lazy drybrush and wash approach.

And here he is finished, barring a lick of black around the edge of his base. I find the coloured plastic that these are cast in less receptive to undercoat than their grey kin. As he'll be handled a lot - my son was playing Shadespire properly at a friend's house today - he'll need at least a couple of coats of deeply unfashionable gloss varnish ...

And here he is among his kin ...

That looks a lot better than the yellow they paint them.

Lovely seeing them all together and he fits in so well.

Oh, I like what you did with that orc. I saw the set recently but decided against it.

Painted the Stormcast Eternal from the basic set and am really impressed by the quality of the new GW plastics.

Now that I see how good the orcs looks with a different paint scheme, I am tempted to buy these, too!

I like it. All four of them scattered among the ranks would look very cool, like giant orges or elite orc generals.

OUTSTANDING! That is a FINE LOOKING Gang of Hooligans. I love the second from the left's shield...it adds to the character of the gang. VERY WELL DONE!

you can really see the resemblance between the big shadespire dwarf and the chap with the blue helmet just to the right of him.

Thanks, all!

That's Warhammer new and old right next to each other: the fellow in the helmet was illustrated in the first edition.

During a four-player game of Shadespire today, I used some old Citadel and Chronicle ogres as proxies for the Stormcast; they're dwarfed by the current GW orcs! I got the new orcs more or less ready for this afternoon's gaming, though they still need a bit more done to them (especially the leader).

Wow, they're amazing!

How'd you do the skin and armour?
