Mean Green Stabbin' Machine


First block of Savage orcs is done and done. Frenzy, Ferocity and Big Stabbin!

Green primer worked very well. It went on smoothly and kept the detail sharp. I don't have a perfect match for its shade of green and I ended using something that's close, but not quite right. Fortunately there were no big fixes to make that would stand out. For next time, I'll get the right green.

Painting time after priming: 10 hours. With 20 models that's 30 minutes per model. Just slightly better than the Orc Boyz. The primer really helped to get them going, but the detail on bones, leather ties, stone bits ate up a lot of time.

Final thoughts: I like how they turned out but the tan leather ties are too close to bone in colour and they blend in. On the bright side, the unit does look very "earthy" which is exactly what I wanted.

Next up: Goblin Wolf Riders. I now have two solid infantry blocks so it's time to add some speed to the mix. Go Orcs!!
