Second orc unit

To please my gaming friends, I have decided to paint front ranks only until all my units are painted in this way (or "somewhat" painted). Then I will return to each ranked infantry unit to paint flanks and rears. Otherwise, odds are high that job, wife and life prevent you from painting more than one or two units. In this way, I will not get bored with units either. So, its a win-lose-win situation.

This is the first orc of my second unit of orc boyz painted in Vallejo colours. It is a Rackham model (as 20 out of 25 models in the unit also are) and I am trying colour schemes and a new skin painting technique. It is not quite finished. I have to tone down the armour a bit and paint the dagger hanging in his belt and dothe base, but I am quite pleased with it.



It is an amazing model and the Rackham sculpt is so clean it is a pleasure to paint it.


Notice the little lizard snack.



This orc has seen battle before.
