Couple of additions - work in progress on the Zombies and a Prisoner Orc for scenario games :

I think I may need to highlight his brow more to suit the main HQ orcs I've completed already. I've also nearly completed my Sir Ragnar figure and at some point, I'll actually paint that darned Wood Elf Waywatcher! :D

Man, I freakin' love those bases. Can you do a video tutorial on those, I just can't seem to get the right colours. Yours match perfectly.
And that orc is cool, he looks so sad :P where is he from?

Cheers Sjeng :)

The 'SadFace' Orc is from the long OOP Orc Spear Chukka - which actually has an orc holding a spear which is remarkably like a HQ Orc (and also another modification project on the wire).

I'll look to doing a tutorial - this board matching is catching on :)

Nice job on them.
Orc prisoner is a good mini choice.
Some chains on him would work well.

Once again, great job. There is something about your style that's just freakin' awesome and unique.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's both soft and bold in highlighting.
Do you use washes at all?

I'm seriously thinking about redoing my bases. This looks so goddamn good!

Hi Hi :)

@bruenor
I had thought about chains, even have some jewellery pieces - however I decided to leave him be, he can play a imprisoned figure, orc labourer and perhaps a spell entranced minion. ;) (He's a Thespian Orc)

@Knighcrawler
Thanks man, it does vary from careful blending to stark lines (boots & weapon). It can be a swine to photograph at times due to the subtly going on. I do use washes on the weapon, and Devlan Mud on the skin. (Have to change that soon, running out sigh)

@Goblin King
I'll photograph a game session or group shot - should give you an idea what a large amount of these look like running about. :)

Cheers guys!
Seb

Would be much appreciated |_P

How far are you anyway? Do you have an entire game system painted up?

@Goblin-King

Hmmmm.. I think I have the fimirs, four knights, sorcerer and the Gargoyle (sadly missing) to go once I'm done with the undead. Plenty of opportunities to do a tuts. :)

That and my hobby time is sporadic, hence odd 'bursts' of creativity. :D

Holy cow those bases (not to mention the rest of the figure!) are blowing my mind! :shock:
Outstanding work.
