Adrian's orc brute force - February (203.5 points)


-Watch out! They have a lesser goblin!

I thought that the last month would be the most difficult one for several personal issues but I was too confident and almost landed on the field of bones with this one.
Fortunately, I could almost finish before the deadline. Sadly, I had to cut some final details and this troop will not have freehands in the shields for now.

For this month, I wanted to finish my previous unit of boys, including the banner. So here there are the last four orc boys.


4x Orc boys
Light armour + Spear(some sort) + shie..no, I forgot the left one. Again.
Also a dirty flag

I am pleased with this Vile Rune flag, trying to get a proper dirty looking flag, old school style.

Now, the boss needs a retinue of his bigger orcs. So I painted almost all the big 'uns of the list. Probably more that I could handle for a short month and almost cost me the mulligan or a worst ending!
I wanted them to be greener and for variation, I tried a more vibrant yellowish orc skin tone.



These are the plastic volunteers, so now that they are painted I will probably add them to the big 'uns unit.



I love the small critter that came with GSW orc boys.

This makes (including the big 'un volunteers for the color palettes):

14x Orc Big 'Uns
Light armour + Spears + Shield
And a boy that smashs a drum and think he's a musician

Lastly:


At some point I thought I couldn't paint the musician (I had to repair the base) and started to adjust the points with some goblins to test the colors for the huge amount of goblinoids I have in the list. Thankfully I could finish the big 'un musician and I only finished the mighty lesser goblin, the other ones will wait.

So here they are. I will organize better the next month, because I am a bit sad that I couldn't add more weird faces to the shields. They are pretty fun to paint and I is also the part I am liking the most.

Adrian's out!

  6. Oh man, so much to love here! Fantastic choice of really characterful and varied minis, I love the inclusion of the BM Orcs but I think my favourite might be that simple HQ weapon swap - lovely work all round :)
