how quaint the inverted cross seems now a days

Yeah in the 90s people were scandalised about inverted crosses in Doom

I like the stippled highlighting you’ve done on the robe. It looks like fraying or stitches.

What another post so soon! I'll be retiring to the cave to paint so figure one more post before disappearing lol.



C15 Orc bodyguard, gonna use this lad as a Lieutenant for the upcoming orc band.

Every Orctober I assemble and paint as many orcs and gobbos as I can to bolster the horde. This year it'll be all oldies 👍

My first pink orc and I hope I did it right, I'll let Pariah Press judge me on that

See everyone at the end of Orctober!

Thanks I always have a hard time with making any sort of cape/robe look interesting 🤔

Nice I like the pose on this guy

That pink orc gets the Pariah Press Seal or Approval!

Welp, my hands hurt from painting but it has been another successful Orctober

First up is some gobbos



1979 Fiend Factory Goblins, These lads look a bit like old dog kobolds with their jowls lol.



Here's the whole group, about 55ish points according to the 2nd ed book🤔 Next up is the Orc group...



I passionately called this lad Bard the Bow Orc Had a broken bow I did my best to try to make a new top half and I think it turned out alright.



Next is a classic spearman orc in my attempt at brown. I actually have this lad painted in green and was one of the first old lead orcs I painted when I got into this venture!



This here is Graggle Simpson, er I mean a crossbow Orc I hope my interpretation of yellow orc turned out correct because I really like this scheme for orcs.



And lastly here is the rank and file of the orcs. Need to go back and revarnish some gloss I missed but otherwise They were quick to paint up...thankfully.



A terrible group photo to finish off the Orctober season! Been a bit since I've batch painted but I always remember how fatigued I am at the end

Thanks for stopping by and have a good Orctober/ Halloween!

They look amazing all together! My favourite is the guy with the gaping mouth.

Quite a productive Orctober! Nice work.

Alright, I've been away for a bit working on a secret project but finally painted this fine lad



Minifigs Mythical Earth Balrog from 1973. I couldn't stop calling him the cowardly lion Based him off the weird lion butterfly from the 1978 Bakshi Lord of the Rings film.

Did this lad up for the ancients painting contest but figured it fit here too lol.

Unless I'm mistaken this was the first Lion depiction of the balrog before the film 🤔 Wonder if they got the idea from elsewhere or if Bakshi and the sculptor came up with it separately.

Thanks for stopping by!
