Cait Sidhe's Fantasy Stuff (Upd 29/04/21)

[Cait Sidhe]

Well I haven't added to these guys in some time but decided to do some more for Orctober, because why not? Painted up the command pack as well as the drillmaster which I'll probably use as a beastmaster or someone to poke gobbos or something.

Lovely band of orcs!

That command group is great, may I ask where they are from?

Cheers, They're Ral Partha "Gargantua Orcz" which are available from Ral Partha EU. I have pretty much the entire set to get through at some point.

How did I miss the command pack when I bought mine!?!
I got a pile of them for use as LOTR Olag hai, not painted yet obviously
Love your paint schemes

[boneio]

Nice, thank you. I love RPE's stuff so they'll go on my rather long list for the future!

Another year, another addition to the orc warband, finally finished the mounted orc conversions. I've also fixed the photobucket links in the thread and added a bunch more pics to the first post.

So the Ral Partha Gargantua Orcz range does have mounted options but I'm not keen on them. There's two mounts but only one pose each and one pose per orc type (spearman, archer) with one of the mounts being so large it's more a monster than cavalry. Anyway I picked up some Reaper Bones orcs that were sculpted by the same sculptor (Bob Olley) and some cheap plastic dinosaurs to roll my own.

Starting from this...


To this, prior to painting:

Nice work on the dino riders :-)

[Cait Sidhe]

Decided to take a pic of the warband thus far, unfortunately managed to get a single blurry pic before my camera gave up... still, starting to look vaguely impressive (for me).

Nice work on orc dino riders!

[DivisMal]

Pretty cool thread. I like the skintones and the sculpts are really cool.

[Swordisdrawn]

Lovely family photo of the orcs. Very nice work on the dino riders. The sculpts are so full of charactor too

[Sunjester]

They look superb. I have a load of theses as well, I'll have to check out the Bones orcs now!

Thought I would repurpose this thread instead of creating some new ones as I get stuff painted. Actually finished a little warband and got the terrible pics to prove it! Been working on some undead for a little while as I work toward have a few different forces for skirmish/RPGs.

One of my favourite Confrontation models, the necromancer Ejhin De Vanth that I finally managed to pick up a few months ago.


An old vampire model from Troll Forged. The face was a bit flat so I gave him a bat nose and longer ears.


A bunch of old GW ghouls I started repainting years ago hence the horrible thick blood on the knives, I couldn't be bothered scraping it off to repaint.


More old GW models, this time the original plastic skeletons. Used the Skeleton Horde contrast paint on these, about the only one I've found useful so far. I padded out the numbers with a couple of awful bones skeletons, they're from the first KS and it shows.


Where would an undead force be without some zombies. Mostly Heresy (and old Spyglass now owned by Heresy) padded out with some bones minis again which look better than the skeletons. I tried to repose the Bones zombies with hot water but after a while they unfortunately reverted back.



Oh and a Bone Golem for when you need some muscle... without any muscles ironically. This is a Mage Knight model I stripped and repainted. used the contrast paint again for the bones, worked quite well with the texture.

Some great brushwork in this thread!

[Melnibonean]

Some really lovely brush work. I really like that vampire figure and those Ral Partha orcs look great.
