10mm Orcs

Got these done. Somehow even using the same wash they seem darker.

Oh well

There painted . Not going back now

And we’re back!

Another post at another random time

This time is Wargames Atlantic 10mm Orcs

My full review of them is that they look crap on the sprue but paint up really nicely.

Decided to paint these using Vallejo xpress but in the end just used Viking grey foe the skin and because of the fiddly bits  normal paints for everything else.

Except for boars where they were painted all over with Wasteland brown and the really hairy bits given another coat to darken it down

They were all then given a wash of what was marine juice but with some changes now called  Sonic Tonic. (Check out the  Sonic Sledgehammer you tube channel) This is equal parts AP dark tone, Reikland flesh shade and Lahmian medium. I swapped in strong tone for datk tone for 6 and 10mm figures and called it Soni Tonic lite

Anyway here’s some pics. Some bowmen….Boworcs maybe? are nearly done

Now you shall fear us . No longer will you laugh at the mighty Orc forces.  Well hopefully not quite as much as hopefully these chaps (especially Arnold the slightly annoyed) will bring a bit of steel to the Orc backbone

Finally finished. They can now go back in the box and forgotten about

Finally varnished and based . Hopefully get these Non day Goblins finished tomorrow or within the next 6 months hopefully

It’s been a while and I bought these some time ago but finally metal met brush

So my thinking was to have several browns to break up the uniformity of pose but I think some are too dark to show the wash effectively.

Still waiting for the washes to come though the post so will have a rummage to see what other browns I have

So I just had to get some of the new night Goblins/Orcs Pendraken have released and lovely little buggars they are to

As with most 10mm the variation of poses is limited so counter this I’ve decided to use 4 or 5 different different shades of brown for the cowls and give then a darkish red skin as I’ve got bored with green and to be honest wish I hadn’t used that colour in the first place but there’s no chance of me redoing them all.

Anyway quick first test piece using the lightest brown I have which is Vallejo brown sand. Little chap still needs his spear finished and his wash but happy with the colour choices
