A couple of friends and I spent the last few days together painting miniatures and talking rubbish. A great time was had and as a result of this I came home with something a little unusual for me: An Orc. I'm not quite sure if it's an official GW miniature or not, but it was great fun to paint anyway.

| Roman Lanciarii in for a nasty surprise |
For these I claim 5 points for a single 28mm miniature while I'd rate the Orcling as a 15mm miniature for an additional 2 points.

Well, that is one crazy-looking Orc you have here Nick! As ever, your brushwork really sets the standard. Quite right...those Lanciarii are in for a rather terrible day at the office, I expect.
I like to consider myself an old grognard and afficianado of older GW castings, but I cannot say I recognize the provenance of this chap. He certainly has the LOOK of a big scary GW orc...perhaps a Challenger will recognize the casting and its origins.

Just incredible painting as usual Nick. I'm adding three bonus points for the checker pattern on the weapons. Because that is extra awesome and you get to do that kind of thing when you are the minion.

Love the skin, and great work on the checkers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! He definitely looks like a Brian Nelson orc sculpt, but I can't place him; maybe a limited edition event figure? The Orcling is Wargames Foundry/Warmonger for certain.
ReplyDeleteReally nice work on those two. The checks are ace!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work Nick. Love he details and the Bavarian checkers.
ReplyDeleteGreat highlights all around. The check pattern adds some nice interest.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve absolutely nailed the skin tones. Smashing stuff!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking Orc and Orcling!!
ReplyDeleteSplendid major and minor Orcs!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
What an Orc! The check pattern is fabulous.
ReplyDelete'Oh, just a couple of German barbarians from up north. Just give them a beer, compliment them on their chequered kit, and maybe they'll go away...'
ReplyDeleteSplendid work on these Orcs, Nick!
That’s a just Wow
ReplyDeleteanother superbly painted miniature

ReplyDeleteLove the muted tones! It works so well on Orcs.
