| The whole warband together. |

| Archer with a flail (Minart Hussites) and axe orc with a halberd (Redbox Men-At-Arms and retinue) and head swop |
 |
| As they have so few archers of thier own and don´t like to rely on shields for protection they drive prisoners amongst thier lines to put off enemy archer fire. |
 |
| The torch is from the Zvezda Medieval Peasant Army set and the sword is from the Atlantic Gladiators and Christians set. |

Hello to Robin ( redrob ) from Atelier-Robin... Whatever he paints turns to gold....his Ele dio alone is worth a look...
Very well done. Of course every pillaging army has prisoners to use as bullet (or arrow) catchers, why would orcs be an exception?
ReplyDeleteGreat looking baddies. The swaps are neat. You are having too much fun I suspect!
ReplyDeleteFecking brilliant especially the human shields Paul!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! They are different from the usual stereotypical orcs.
ReplyDeleteGreat conversions as usual. I don't recognize the body guards, ones with the brownish skin. Those Dark Alliance sets look great, are they in production?
ReplyDeleteThanks Sean
DeleteThey are in production...when they are available is another question. Soon I hope.
Can't have too many orcs!
ReplyDeleteLove it when you take a stroll down the Dark Side Paul. The conversions on these are great, brushwork excellent and that standard-brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutly fabulous. I've only ever modelled Orcs for BloodBowl.But if I had a Warband these would be it. Just brilliant.
ReplyDeleteReading Tolkien I have noticed that the Orks speak like lower class British. Class prejudice by Tolkien?
ReplyDeleteOrks are the expendable bad guys as you don't feel any empathy for those that die, like movie Nazis.
Paul, your examples are particularly good and not too Peter jackson-ish.
I was just about to sk whether these orks hale from Mordor. something about that eye on the flag reminds me of a certain dark lord.
DeleteThey´ve nothing to do with Tolkien (in my world) The eye symbol just turned out to be the easiest to paint on the small flag (the big one´s a printed one)
DeleteI tried skulls...they looked like pirates, then some odd symbols but it all looked to odd so the eye got picked.
Great conversions, tremendous fun Paul.
ReplyDeleteGreat painting Paul, love the green skin tone and shading.
ReplyDeleteWonderfull conversions Paul! What an idea to rebuild an Italeri knight as an Orc! :-D
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at Crisis for those new Orcs, but I couldn't find them. :-(
Greetings
