It’s great to see your veteran warriors be given a deserved polish like this.

As one of the oldest clan in Zharr-Naggrund, the Bluebeards’ clan has been heavily affected by the stone-curse and years and years of feuds and battles. So it’s notorius to have limited ranks. That’s why they rely heavily on warmachines, slaves and mercenary troops (like Black Orcs).
Orcs are among their favorite slaves. Stupid and strong enough to work hard in the mines and happy to receive a role in battle as a “reward”.
Not to say they are sent to the frontline as cannon fodder and rarely come back home…
Here is my block of orcs from an old 6th edition starter set. One of my very first heavy converted regiments, more than 12 years ago. After many years of battles they were in dire need of a refresh. Base and movement tray got chipped, color faded away, dirt…yes, they relly needed some new colors!
Here they are:

They look great. I really like the shading on their arms/skin.

@Jackswift it’s because of the beheaded dwarf, isn’t it? 
@Zoddtheimmortal thanks. That was one of the main reasons why I decided to refresh the paint job. Add more depth to the skin.

It’s always nice when some lead reach my postbox…including some old plastic 
BTW my very first Bretonnia miniature ever!
With these two little dirty Dwarfs I’ve almost completed my collection of classic 5th Edition Big Hats. I am still missing 4-5 miniatures from the range but I’ve almost all of them.

Nice!
Which ones are missing?
@denelian5 I am talking about dwarfs, not hobgoblins. I am still missing the sorcerer on foot, the hero with raised axe, Astragoth and one of the metal warriors.

We cannot never praise nough @Fabelzel for his amazing miniatures of Chaos Dwarfs! They perfectly fit in with the classic range. I mixed and matched them with plastic and metal big hats and they are great! 
And thanks also to @Loidrial for the print job

Looking really great. Love the scheme. Nice throwback to 4th ed colors, but an updated take on them.

Thanks guys.
@Jackswift I updated a little bit my old classic color scheme. I am very happy with the result. Yes, as you said it’s an attempt to mix old classic colorful 4th edition color scheme with a more modern style.
Actually in real life colors are a little bit tuned down, not so bright.

Wow, a really great painting.
The new Chaosdwarf blend in really well.
I like your colour scheme and envy your NMM skills.

@Bessron thanks, too kind 
actually my NMM skils are not special, something basic and fast to paint because years ago I had the crazy idea to paint my entire Chaos Dwarf army with NMM techniques.
Actually I am very happy with gold and copper. Iron and steel…so and so
