Hi guys!
I want to show you my latest project

Black Orcs (the first rank of them):









I'll have 20 of them. So what do you think?

I think they look good. But, strangely, I think that blue light makes them look even better. Maybe put a (ULTRA!!!!!!!)thin wash of blue on the metal part of the shoulder plates.

Thanks! I,ll try it.

I still think it's really random, but can you see what I meant with the blue? I suppose it just sort of adds a colour, but not too much. Accentuates the red instead of dominates it, sort of thing.

Ooer, you going all art critic on us? you are right though, the blue just....   works.

They look especially large and brutal for some reason to

Very nice!

Thanks for comments!
I painted red with scrab red and blood red higlights on a metal(Boltgun metal then chainmail then mithril silver). Hope this'll help. And good luck on the black orcs.

These guys look really nice, I'd love to see the whole unit.

Nice and clean paint job!

Although I have to say that the colour scheme would be a bit too bright for my taste - they seem more like Blood Bowl players to me.

Thanks for comments guys!
So here is a small update:

Black Orcs (second rank):





And a unit so far:

Looking great man, keep the pictures coming!

I notice the lack of attempt at "blueing" them Still, they're looking really good. I assume you got the box of 20. (Can use two units of 10 if you ally with O&G!)

Thanks! I have 10 of this new guys and a 10 of the old 6ed ones.

I love the brightness of this army. Sometimes orc armies can get painted way to dark and it's hard to tell if they're painted well. It's a nice contrast.

Those are really nice figures.

Good simple color scheme.  I think the unit will look great!

Yeah, but this scheme works, so why risk wrecking it?

Yeah, ranking these guys up is a pain, esp. the command group

Thats exactly what i was going to say. Thats the first thing i thought of was blood bowl when i saw them. Still a good paint job though

uve done really well, little advice though.

follow that painting tutorial, all you need is another 5 mins on each model and do some highlights and such and they will become very impressive, them 5 mins are usually the difference between good painters and exeptional painters

Thanks for your comments guys The first models i painted was dark and ugly , so as my painting skills increased i started to paint them more brightly. And now i want to try painting my models in more weathered style. So that's why they are so clean and shiny.

The new plastics are much better &cheaper then the old metals. Lots of extra bits & you can convert or make a variety of poses/weapon combos.
Nice Black Orcs there!!
