Over the weekend I finished up the four Orc Stalker figures from the Orcpocalypse add-on set. This leaves me with only four figures left from this set to complete. As I have done in the past with the similarly-posed Orc figures from this set, I converted three of them to be different from the original. In the photo below, the first one is the original figure, the second has a new sword added to his raised hand, the third has a replacement GW club added (Not sure if it was orc or troll in origin) and his other hand repositioned, and the fourth has his arms repositioned to hold a spear. from one of the Orc Hunter figures.
I began by painting them entirely Black; and then when the Black was dry, I drybrushed the chainmail and spikey armor areas with Folk Art Metallics "Gunmetal Grey". I then went back and used the Black to repaint the fur areas where the "Gunmetal Grey" paint had gotten on them.
Next, I painted the furs on each of them, doing the top furs and lower fur in different colors. I usedAnita's "Burnt Sienna", Americana "Neutral Grey", and Folk Art "Dark Brown" as my fur colors, using diferent combinations on each figure. I then painted all their skin with Aleene's "Deep Khaki".
Next, I painted the club and the spear shaft with Nicole's "Brown". I then painted their teeth with Americana Buttermilk. I then painted the belts and pouch of the first and third one with Americana "Chocolate Brown"; and used the same color to paint the sword grips and wrist wraps the second and fourth figures. After everything had a few hours to dry, I gave all four figures a complete wash with GW "Agrax Earthshade" wash using a wet brush.
When the wash was dry, I painted their eyes, and highlighted the teeth, with the "Buttermilk". I then highlighted their skin with some of the "Deep Khaki" mixed with a little Aleene's "Dusty Khaki". I highlighted the spear shaft and club with Americana "Missippi Mud". Next, I painted the swords, and the head of the spear, with Americana "Zinc". When these parts were dry, I went back and re-painted them wiht Accent "Princely Pewter". I then used Folk Art Metallics "Gunmetal Grey" to highlights the swords and spear point, as well as clean up the rest of the metal parts on all four figures. Lastly, I painted their sculpted bases with Ceramcoat "Walnut".
After everything had dried overnight, I gave the figures a coat of Ceramcoat "Matte Varnish" and, when dry, flocked their bases. Another overnight dry, and I sprayed them with Testor's Dullcote".
I ended up having a busy weekend, so I cut a lot of corners in finishing these up; doing hardly any highlights. Nonetheless, I think they turned out pretty good for mass-unit tabletop pieces.

More nicely painted figures!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteNice work as always. Are you going to do a shot of them all together once you finish it? (Doing one of the whole bones box would be great too!)
ReplyDeleteI think the club is from the GW ogres.
Thanks! And thank you for the ID on the club.
DeleteI'll try to remember to take a "family" photo of the Orcs when I'm done.
A photo of the whole Bones 1 Box would be almost impossible to pull off at this point, as so many of the figures have been scattered into different collections: sci-fi, zombies, 10mm fantasy, Pulp, VSF...that it would be nearly impossible for me to round them all up again. :(
