Some rebased and refreshed orcs



I've had little time for painting of late, but I have used the odd break to rebase and touch up some old orcs. I painted most of these around eight years ago; they were originally on rather garish green bases. These will probably get some tufts of greenery sooner or later. The square bases render them suitable for Kings of War and Impetus (among other games) without harming their skirmish or RPG potential. 

These four are only a fraction of those I've rebased in the last couple of weeks - I reckon I've got two KoW 'regiments' and a couple of 'troops'. A new batch of MDF bases arrived today, so their ranks will swell even more fairly soon.

    1. Thanks, Phil! They've scrubbed up OK, I think: the highlights on the metal have brought them to life a bit.

  2. Very nice indeed, maybe some pictures before and after could help us to appreciate a bit more. I love those old figs, and the grey skin is a very good idea. Can't wait to see their friends :)

    1. Thanks! The before and after is a good idea; I'll see what I can do with the next batch. The 'befores' are all on this thread: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=77384.45

  3. Some interesting Oldhammer minis. Surprising now much difference changing the bases makes. I agree with the above comment. It would be great to see a before and after alongside each other.
