Hello everyone,
I have been building and painting miniatures for 20 plus years now. Although I have painted works and goblins for friends that collect them in that time, I have never had a collection of greenskins myself.
Other armies were always more interesting or felt more nuanced, especially in terms of deep background lore.
Recently though, I've had a bit of a change of heart. Over the past year I've converted multiple kruleboyz models into warriors of nurgle. Throughout those conversions, I have gained a deep respect for the level of detail that the newer orcs have and the potential to mix and match different color tones. Mainly because orcs are of course green skinned, but that green skin can take a variety of hues. Coupled with the fact that they are mainly a force that relies on ramshackle equipment, which means that cloth and points of secondary color usage can be different shades of the overall color chosen while still looking somewhat cohesive.
I have decided to start painting orcs and have added a collection to my roster. I don't have any background yet, so I'm just calling this The Waaagh, for now.
I will however be using and referencing the ubiquitous ork color guide. Meaning the various uses and meanings ascribed to certain colors by orcs and goblins in the Warhammer universes.
My first work for this project is this Killaboss on Great Gnashtoof, and he is a lucky git.
Comments and critique are most welcome, and I hope to bring you more content soon.
Also, I am soliciting for name suggestions for the characters and their mounts if applicable. Feel free to put them in this thread.
