Been awhile since I posted on here, but I want to show off my Orcs as I paint them... And I have a lot of Orcs.. I'll start off with this guy.. Warboss Grotfang, I bought the miniature used and badly painted off of ebay for $7USD. A good simple green bath and elbow grease cleaned him up and put some new paint on. Really happy how he turned out.

I love the Grimgor model. To me that's the definitive image of Orcs for the last decade and a half

Man, I wish I had bought a Borgut model when they were still in production! I was on the fence for too long!
They look great!

I love the Grimgor model. To me that's the definitive image of Orcs for the last decade and a half Me too, when I first saw it I knew I had to have it. After finally getting it that's when I started reading the lore of Grimgor, never knew how awesome he was. But I agree, I love how the Orcs of Warhammer Fantasy look, I never got a chance to play Warhammer Fantasy when it was still being suported so whenever I see Fantasy Orcs on sale or a friend wanting to get rid of his collection I happily take them. Man, I wish I had bought a Borgut model when they were still in production! I was on the fence for too long! They look great! Thank you! Much appreciated! You know... I spent a little too much money on getting this Borgut model, I bought it from a seller in spain for $60USD. I didn't really care at the time because I was working a lot of overtime and I haven't spent money on anything besides bills. So I gave myself a pat on the back . Maybe too much of a pat on the back LOL.

Great to see your minis. I love that classic warboss and your colour scheme. Thank you, I've been putting them off because I play other wargames. But after finding a couple people nearby me that still play Warhammer Fantasy it has given me a big boost in dedication to this game, it's the only wargame I really want to play since I never got a chance to play it when GW was supporting it. I'm happy with the color scheme, at first I was going to go with just black and brown for clothing as an easy way to paint everything. But I actually want to take my time and make a nice looking Orc army so just really looking at other Orc armies for ideas and experimenting with colors. Great models, great paint job. Look forward to seeing more. Thank you! Like I told grandmasterwang, I want a good looking Orc army. The Orc skin I'm keeping simple, it was during the time when I played 40K 5th edition I was reading GW's paint tutorial and the paints was WAAAGH Flesh for base, Biel-Tan Green wash, and Warboss Green. That was it, loved that paint combination and have applied that to all of my Orcs on the other GW games. I will definitely keep this thread updated on my hobby!

Awesome wyvern. Your old school orcs bring back memories of when I really got started in Warhammer.

Awesome wyvern. Your old school orcs bring back memories of when I really got started in Warhammer. Thank you, I'm glad it brings back memories. I came late to Warhammer Fantasy, I originally started in 40K when 5th edition just released. Always wanted to play Fantasy and finally many years later even after finding out it was no longer supported I still bought a lot of Orc miniatures for the game, but long story short, I found some people in my local area that still play and everything is good now. Lovely wyvern and warboss. Thank you! Love this model, I seen this model with a shorter base size, but I read somewhere that 50x100mm size also works. I personally like 50x100mm better.
