I agree, those are some very nice Orcs, they're really well-painted, and each of them oozes character.

I am extremely happy that I had the willpower to finish a full unit, something that I aven't done in years if it hasn't been converted first. This is regular Orcs with nothing special and with a limited palette.

For "nothing special and with a limited palette", they look pretty darn good.

LOL!

By special I mean not converted and straight out of the box. Limited palette is as follows, two greens, three washes, two metal, one red, one brown, one grey, and one whitish color.

Thanks though. cool.gif

That is one impressive orc unit ! And the painting is simple yet top notch !
I like the addition of the (big) boss, I've got the model too and your conversion makes me want to do something similar with mine.

The big un's unit look very promising. If you manage to finish painting it, you'll have another great unit. Keep it up !

R&F pics will come later when I unpack them for an army shot. biggrin.gif

But first I just wanted to add that a limited palette does not mean you can't paint models to a good standard. For instance this Ogre Giant's skin is done with just Tallarn Flesh mixed with bone and one wash (three washes if you add the tongue and battered nose) with water added in various stages.

Holy crap! That is phenomenal!

Being the cheap bastage I am, this is really inspiring. Means I don't need crap tons of paints if I can learn how to make them work together.

To be honest all those different shades are for lazy sods like me who want to just reach for the next colour premixed when trying to do regiments at a time biggrin.gif.

Really liking the orcs, you may just have answered my question of how I'll manage to do some really nice skin tones on green skins for me biggrin.gif *blatantly steals formula!!*

Will be following this with interest!
