Thanks. Been a little slow.. The Whaagh Flesh got on and then I washed with Biel Tann Green. I don´t always do that and don´t think it is necessary for big units.. But the Warboss Green, an old tin, did not want to cooperate as good as usual.. Took 2-3 messy coats to not look weird over the udnerlaying layer. almost dry brusged some of it on.. Need to do the last rank but 15/20 are done, skin wise. Camera flattens out the shade but it looks alright in real life actually. Alright.. But it feels that when the skin is done it will be easier. Picked out three browns for clothing and woods, then some black for boots, maybe plus metal. And finally some Khorne Red to follow the Mordheim band´s theme (helmets, the banners etc) I think the banners will, for now, just be that Khorne Red. Also started to base the pig boy, BSB and Shaman. (I really like that Shaman made froma Nob!)

Thanks. There are some Boar boy spears and so on in there. Restorating and working with them kinda made each one unique. I really like the models. Loads of kilts or whatever, gotta love that fantasy plastic Orc regiment - with the 40k mixed in for variation. What bugs me is the BSB and the unit standard blowing in different directions though.. I guess they are just waving them, hence why?

Got the skin done, for now, while running a WFB 6th Ed BR in the background (Rogue Elemental Gaming).. The iPhone camera just shits on the effort though.. But I think i got the ball rolling now. And what I will try to get, like this Mordheim-Orc: Three browns (mournfang and vallejo Chocolate Brown and English Uniform) - a wash on that and it should look alright. Plus a little highlight after the wash. I guess I should alternate the browns for trousers and shirts to get a more rag tag look? Right?
I had to repaint the top of the bases too - the Devlan/Agrax Wash on top of the Mournfang Brown looked.. Shit. Compared to without.. I drybrush the Mournfang with Zandri Dust and then Ushabti Bone and that looks much better on the characters´ bases without the wash.. There was slike a black smudge.. I mush preferred the scorched, dry earth, maybe from the badlands.. So repainted the top brown.. have to drybrush tomorrow..

I think the left icon? Painted Khorne Red over a dark brown wood on the shield..?

All the icons look sweet.
Tough choice.

Yes, true.. I was thinking 1 or 3 at first but then realized that the middle one is quite similar to the mob´s boss shield (nicked from the plastic warboss).. Hmm? My Orcs are supposed to be like 40k Goffs.. So the left feels right but I really wish I had 2-3 more boxes and could do a couple more units and have them all with different shields.. I wish GE re-release the old box. Or I have to find some 2nd hand..

Thanks mate. Table-top standard.. It is messy if you look close but they will look alright as a unit I think. Got the Base browns etc on, washed it.. Will edge high-light a bit, dry brush some thing - then paint the teef.. And then the arms and shields.. They will hopefully be alright.
Doing a decent job on skin, weapons, shields and the bases seems like a winner.. I might go back on these guys one day. maybe even strip them, but for now, I am decently satisfied.. 30 Night Gobbos or a couple of characters next? We´ll see when these are done.

Not done the last layer on the teef.. (Ushabti Bone is fine, not sure I´ll put on the last one - Screaming Skull?) Arms are primed black, i´ll paint them up tomorrow and do the woods on the shields a little lighter with dry brushing.. Love that bad moon hat Orc.. Honestly feel they look ok now! They are decent for 6th Ed at 20.. but for 8th I need more.. We´ll see what next year can get me!

Thanks mate. Yeah, they soon are! The Boss is the first to get his shield. I might use him in Mordheim too.. Like him.. I´ll clean up that right hand though..
