Orcs speed-painted with markers


 

Here are four Blades elements for Hordes of the Things and De Bellis Fantasiae. I did these mainly with paint markers - a mix of very cheap Funnasting brush pens and slighly more expensive AK Interactive markers.

The skin was done entirely with markers, barring a glaze of Athonian Camoshade at the end. The armour was done with AK gun metal and then washed in Dark Star Murky Mire (Agrax, basically) before highlights with a silver brushpen. Then the eyes, teeth and tongues were painted with a brush. 

These Mantic figures are quite soft on detail, and the teeth and eyes are very hard to paint. With hindsight, I'd have drybrushed silver over the metal after the brown wash - but no matter: they're done!
