First batch of McDeath's Orcs

If you read my recent post about Glenwoe, you will now know that I am working on that scenario and as part of that project, I need a unit of about twenty orcs. Looking about for inspiration, my eyes fell upon the old C15 orcs and I had a rummage around in my leadpile to see what I could find. 

These three goblinoids are the first of the bunch to see paint, and having long been dis-satisfied about the colour of my orcflesh, I set out to try something different. I used a much darker green as a base, mixed in brown to darken it further and used bleach bone once again to help create the highlight shades.

There rest of the painting was pretty straightforwards, with drybrushing used to create the fur and chainmail effects and layering used elsewhere. I enjoyed painting these, though I don't fancy sitting down and painting up the remaining seventeen models as a single project! Instead, I plan to do three at a time and intersperse my goblinoids with other miniatures. I already have the Foundry fishmen and the 'Three Murderers' (cue dramatic music) on the go!

I hope you like my latest work!
