Five more bases of dirty orcs are completed and join the gathering army of Gundabad.
These are a mix of all sorts and contain quite a few resin sculpts from eBay. This nice old sculpt from Harlequin miniatures leads the gang. He's flanked by large uruks created from the Frostgrave Cultist knights plastic set.
For this latest batch I used a lot of mud and dirt washes. These orcs are really filthy, even for orcs!
As aways I have given the metal work a thin wash of Kleer floor varnish to make it catch the light. I also gave the clothes a layer of super Matt varnish to take away any sheen.
Smaller orcs bring up the rear ranks.
My favourite resin orc finally leads his new command through the forest to assault the Elven bridge.
His base has the biggest and meanest Uruks in the group, all hand picked by himself of course.
I always tend to shy away from painting 'greenskins', but the odd one or two looks good in the mix. It helps to make the smaller folk very goblin looking.
Another base of large Uruks. The next stage for these bases is to add some small stones to act as rocks.
The mob gathers before the basing ritual starts.
I've also bought a huge orc standard bearer to go with the big orc war chef. He's even bigger than the boss man, but I wanted something to do justice to the new Gundabad faction. He's almost another classic Nick Lund creation, so goes well with the leader figure.
