[Archive] Black Orcs

Lord Archaon:

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?

Hashut’s Blessing:

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.

Lord Archaon:

Thanks! :slight_smile: I,ll try it.

Hashut’s Blessing:

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.

Lord Darkash:

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!

torn:

i like them. my box of 20 just arrived from ebay and i might have to copy a wee bit. just curous what shades of red did you use?

Lord Archaon:

Thanks for comments!:slight_smile:

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.:slight_smile:

Xander:

These guys look really nice, I’d love to see the whole unit. :slight_smile:

Ishkur Cinderhat:

Nice and clean paint job! :slight_smile:

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.

Lord Archaon:

Thanks for comments guys! :smiley:

So here is a small update:

Black Orcs (second rank):





And a unit so far:



Xander:

Looking great man, keep the pictures coming! :slight_smile:

Hashut’s Blessing:

I notice the lack of attempt at “blueing” them :smiley: 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!)

Lord Archaon:

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

torn:

something i noticed how much effort does it take to get them to line up! i dont know what i did with my drummer but he now has to stand on the corner or next to one specific guy.

im loving your colour scheme i think i might go with the same kind of style.

Julio:

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.

wallacer:

Those are really nice figures.

Kera foehunter:

i like them the red and green looks good .

Dark Haven:

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

AGPO:

I notice the lack of attempt at "blueing" them :D 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!)

Hashut's Blessing
Yeah, but this scheme works, so why risk wrecking it?

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

Pyro Stick:


Nice and clean paint job! :)

Ishkur Cinderhat
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 :)
