The Next Batch

The next couple of bases are well underway and the unit of veteran warriors is almost complete. Using the first bases as a guide, I’ve decided the fur cloak look was a good one and it helps tie the unit together visually. These Black Uruks will be equipped in black leather armour but also have black fur cloaks to add to their veteran look. I have also chosen a nice fur clad chieftain to lead them from Reaper Miniatures.
These figures are literally ‘half orcs’, half Frost Grave, have Warlordgames.
Amongst the Demon sprues were next guards for the armour, these are great for sticking on the helmets to create orcy creations. Although you may not use these on the actual torsos, they are definitely worth hanging on to, as they make great face guards too.
Another variation on the visored helmet by using the neck guard.
Most of the orcs on this post are the Demons with the goat legs that have been spliced with Warlordgames orc legs. These mid sized orcs add to the look of the unit and insure that there is not wastage on the sprue.
I have stuck a bow on this hooded guy to make him more into a tracker/scout. His shorter build means he is probably lower down the pecking order of the other armoured warriors.

Hi! Are you still using your process of painting the metallics first?

Yes, spray black, metallics, block in colours then wash with a shade. Highlight flesh areas.
