http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net WH orcs anyway might make a new thread for my 40k ones). Anyway you might have seen shots of my army before. Well I was looking a it and reaslied I hated how organied it looked. (looking at WAB celt armies and the cool units with huge variety probably didnt help) So yer I've decided to revitalise them by making them all unique in gear and colours. Granted this may take a age to do given I have this to paint/repaint but still it's enjoyable so far (again granted I only have 5 models done).




Anyway here are some pictures of my orcs. The idea is that they are all from different tribes and are generally not very organised. I also plan to have some orcs armed with spears and two hand weps in units with shields (how I'll probably run them anyways). Now providing my oppenents arnt absolute WYSIWYGers I should be fine as long as it's only a small amount of each differently armed orc and will help addthat rabble appearance to them. Right as I'm running out of time to post this here's the first look at the few minatures I have painted via much drybrushing and washes.









Hope they arnt to bad.

Spear dude with a buckler for a shield and tartan clothes (or attempt at)






Random orc you can't realy make the image out on (its like the red face on the shield). Probably my least favourite orc so far but hey some have got to look slightly beat up right?




Colourful but not too bright.


Finally group shot.






Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

These are what I can remember of the different tones

1. Knarloc Green > Gretchin Green > Camo Green > Desert Yellow (this I think was used on the first boy so the one with the red and white shield)

2. Cathlan Brown > Vomit Brown > Desert Yellow > Devlan Mud and Thraka green wash (this was used on my least favourite one)

3. Dark Angels Green > Catachan Green > Knarloc Green

4. Dark Angels Green > Catachan Green > Knarloc Green > Gretchin Green


That's all I can remember at the moment sorry but should give you a few tones to mess around with.

I0K1: Fair enough. I think I have doen a yellow base and then a few coats of Thraka as well before on one of these guys but can't actually remember.



Update:


Well I'm back into gathering up the boys again. Some dam crazy female orc convinced me to move the whole tribe away from our former hunting grounds and although not to far away we's orcs and organisation isn't our strong point. Anyway we've fanlly found somewhere new (just over the hill from where we started ironically enough) and I'm now banging heads together again to get me a proper Waaaaagh started!

(OOC: Basically haven't updated in ages due to moving into a flat with my girlfriend and as such paitning is even slower (it's apparently possible). I do however have soem stuff to show).

Right first lot o' lad's to stumble across our new hunting grounds was these here Black Orcs. Tough bunch they was and gave some of my lad's a right kicking in but I smashed der leader with my axe and they's was so impressed they've decided to join da Waaaaagh!

Basha's Bloody Boy's are what they's call themesleves and you can see why by looking at thier armour. All covered in old blood and everything. I reckons they roll aorund the battlefield after each battle. Anyway here they are.





(OOC: This unit is goign to be a depoature fromt he rest of the army in that they have a unified look to them. This is due to me wanting them to stand out as an elite unit and also due to having thought up the background for them. The banner was my first go at freehand painting and although not briliiat I'm happy with it. Oh and why a orc? Cos there the toughest stupid!)


Next is old Guzbag. Dunno where he came from but he as these visions and stuff. He's in direct touch with Mork and Gork and even make them appear on da battlefield. Great fun that is even if Gork does occasionally step on my troops. Don't get on the bad side of the sour faced grumpy old git though otherwise he'll make your ead explode all over da place.





Right that's your lot for now. The ladz are beginnign to fght eachother again and after da last time da Bloody Boyz broke the gfighting up. I'd rather they didn't have to do it again. Had to gather up a load of new boys after that I did.

Till next time.

Waaaaagh!


(OOC: Please note that Guzbag is still a WIP. The Black orcs though are all finished minus the movement tray.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449391/4679720.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449391/4679720.page GMT Update:


'Well youz lot I's bin busy gettting some more boyz in da horde while you'z lot been sunning yurself's youz lazy gitz!'

'Much crumping had to be done but we's managed to subjagate some of dem other tribes in our new area. Here's some of dem der boyz'.










'As you'z can see we's got lot's of diff'rent bouz from lottsa diffrent tribes with us now'z. Oh well'z they all orcs so dey still crump da enemy if youz point them in da right direction. Oh and also old Guzbag da grumpy old git.



'Anyway's thats all for now. We'z got more crumping to do'.

'Waaaaaaaaaaaaagh Gornak'


(OOC: Sorry if the pictures are a bit dark still I will try and take them at better times of day or try using the lights next time. As you can see I've really tried to vary the look of the orcs, even going as far as to add a night golbin themed orc (though admittedly I've done the shields badmoon symbol the wrong way around but hey). There's also a savage orc themed drummer and more attempt at tartan. I've also started reapinting the old bright orcs and changed the base edges to brown as it makes them feel more gritty in my opinion).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449391/4689801.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449391/4689801.page GMT
