My coach is done. Will probably like him more after he's based (axes makes it feel a bit warbossy, I don't know) but I think he turned out alright!

Complete with double pads, his left one made with plasticard and some cut off weapon spikes. Custom pointy finger and a blorc clenched fist, ready to yell his masterplan from the sideline!

C&C welcome.

Good morning.

I like him a lot. I like the wolf pelt (which bits is it from?)

I think his finger is too long though as you pointed out.

His body is from a "mounted warboss", whoever that is :)
I say his long pointy finger gives him character... (because I really don't feel like cutting it and fixing the mess) ;)
Thanks!

That guy looks great (as does the rest of the team by the way).

Do they have a team name already (perhaps a logo)?
Cheers

After seeing the side by side comparison, I'll partly take back my comment about the BOBs' size. The BOB looks taller than the blitzer, I think what bothers me is the great shoulder pads the blitzers can get that make them look broader. My own team suffers from the same problem, but less so as I didn't have the newer Nobz available when I was constructing it.

The coach is great!

Thank you for those words of wisdom Master Wang.

Re: My Orcs - Now with proper bases (5/5-11)

Post by Slackjaw »

After a looong time playing without finsihed bases, I finally took care of that, really lifted the whole team imho.

A bit dark photos, but you get the idea, and finally Da Propa Dressed Gentz - Are ready for action.

Nice work. Basing really brings it all together. That's a great colour scheme. What blue did you use? It's something similar I'd like to use for my skaven.

@Pug: Cheers mate :)

@betterZthenDeaD: Of course everyone should have an Orc team!

@Deathwing & Pitch Invader: Hehe thanks, I picked the colors to get away from the black and red orcs you see all the time. These are classy orcs, influenced by humans to wear their spotless jersey with pride... or something :P

@Urb: Real easy, Enchanted blue > Ice blue > Enchanted wash > Ice highlights > Ice+white highlights

Very nice team you have there :)

I actually like the poses for the Black Orcs - it should make it much easier for your opponent to pick them out when playing you.

VERY nice indeed, with good conversion work on the face masks etc as well.. only 2 things I don't like:

1) you seem to have shaded the white with a light brown wash (between the fingers for instance) - I would have thought light grey would have worked better

2) troll skin colour looks weird to me - he's nicely enough painted, I just don't think he "fits" the team as well as he could though..

9/10 from Norse!

well done on being undefeated, no mean feat with Orcses.. 8)
