From BruceR Chamber of Challenges The Orcs Pit (25 pts)

 The Orcs Pit challenge had me thinking ahead and to some very old "lead" orcs I had somewhere from the 80's.  Well life got busy and I saw this GW plastic Savage Orc NIB on the shelf and thought there is my mission.  It's been 7-8 years since a greenskin has come under the brush.  I've dabbled in miniatures since the 70's and came into contact with Warhammer (thanks to tanker Charlie Clay) at Fort Carson in 1989.  Back in the dakotas in the 2000s the local crew began to travel first to Winnipeg and than to Minneapolis for Warhammer tournaments.  Armies were painted and slaughtered along the way.  Wood Elves, Empire, Orcs and Goblins. We have moved back to historical and the fantasy armies sit in boxes.  

This little beast was on the shelf and appears to be from GW's plastic heroes, maybe just before the old world exploded.  

    I spent a couple of nights this week and cranked him out.  Photographed him this morning.  

Well, we have official entered the deep freeze here in N Dakota.  -15  and looks to be around for at least a week.  So sitting in the hobby cave (with the furnace roaring) feeling nostalgic.  So opened the boxes and broke out the Orcs.  

So here is a stroll down memory lane.  Hope I don't offend anybody for posting past paint in sharing.
