Orc Boyz left, Young ´uns right.. I used the same colours for the skin, just did not realize I treated the highlights different.. But that works out! Young ´uns should be lighter, right? Which is the best base? I will use the right for anything more for the Black Orc warband but some models will be in both.. Is that stupid? Yeah, the first one it is! I like that more. But with the lower one´s axe head.. The power cables have to go anyways..

Yeah, their skin has yet to develop with warfare, bright green shows they're still youngsters. Also I'd probably try and base them the same way, but entirely up to you. I like them both!

Thanks, yeah makes sense, right. Hmm - I am thinking about painting the black bases in Mournfang Brown as well. But leave the slightly different top and different grass, is that better? Those little Night Goblins are a little messy to clean up. Some bodies had quite severe mould lines, but that was easy enough. The arms are worse. Doable, but just hard to reach some areas. And takes time. I would have to drop that attempt at neatness if it was a full army - if i ever wanted them done..

That mess on the desk and keyboard is mostly shite from scraping mould lines..

Let´s see how nice I can make the rifle- or pistol-grip connection.. Otherwise I think they can be decent! Previously had Boar-boy spears and I realized I would not use them with spears.. And I have no more Boyz-bodies at the mo.. So ripped them off..
Will pimp them a bit with various bitz I can find.. That Empire Crossbowmen box had some cool stuff. A couple of the non-hero scale swords and shit might work.. And the warhammer.. ^^

Thanks. I spent a lot of time cleaning up that axe.. More than an hour, while listening to Bonehead podcast on Blood Bowl though, so all good. But it was quite messy and time consuming.. But I also put together a weapons pack for him, the Boss. A crossbow, some arrows, cut off from Goblin ones, and put into that shoota-holster, shoota removed. Plus an extra dagger and one on his hip. So all weapons will be properly represented. The helmet protects what is important, his jaw. The skull is not that important, not too much to go for there.. He´ll get heavy armour one day too (won´t have the crossbow from the start either).. Just need to paint the Gobbos and crossbow-Orcs first. But I am getting really satisfied with my very unique, I hope, Mordheim Black orc boss. He´s mad too.. As a small Black orc, he got taken by evil Chaos Marauders and put into a mill, as if he was some kind of cattle and had to walk there... But he grew strong, and big, and stronger, and bigger.. And one day, those Chaos Marauders regreetted putting him there as he kinda remade them from a dozen warriors into two dozen Chaos warriors, half the original size.. And now he is in Mordheim, looking for Dwarf ale, gold and to bash some heads in! Well, soon he is..
I just need to paint those Gobbos and Crossbow-Orcs. And then I have a replacement for the normal O&G warband, the Boss. He´s a smaller version of this Blorc-boss..

Thanks. Hmm, not sure about the dagger on the back - remove or keep? Seems stupid attached there?

Propa Orc style. Still, more choppas are good.

Was a bit fiddly with shoot-arms and crossbows.. First attempt was bad so cut it and attached to a swinging arm. Better and more Orcy.. The one actually aiming will be decent, just green-tac´d. Not perfect but decent.. Rifle-butt still on. Kinda happy with the arrow bags. And the fanatic is a bonus I just made up.. Might need one for the Vampire..

Why not make a second one?? Hehe.. And while I cut that chain - I might as well use that parrot-squig for the boss too!
