Reaper Bones 77042: Orc Marauder

Well it's time to start work on all of the Bones Black Orcs.  Eventually I want to use them to put together a Kargir army for warlord.

I started out by removing the integral base as I'll be attaching them to GF9 25mm square magnetic bases.  I like to pin them and attach to dowels to make them easy to handle when painting and the pin can be used to attache them to the base.



Instead of painting them all alike I'm trying some different colors for the furs and metals.  Using washes to tie them together.

  1. 29811 Turf Green Base
  2. 09034 Muddy Olive Mid
  3. 09035 Olive Green Highlight

Reaper Bones 77185 Large Earth Elemental

The Elemental is a solid piece of plastic.  After looking at him I decided to go with a basic rock but add color by attempting to paint lava between the rocks.  Not completely happy with the affect but it works for now.


Rock
  1. 29834 Field Grey
  2. 09089 Cloudy Grey
  3. 09090 Misty Grey
Lava
  1. 29801 Crimson Red
  2. 09003 Blood Red
  3. 29806 Fireball Orange
  4. 29809 Pale Saffron
  5. Final Dry Brushing with 09037 Pure Black

Reaper Bones 77002 Orc Archer number 2 and 3

Decided it was time to get back into painting so I purchased 2 new Winsor & Newton brushes size 0 and 00.  I decided a quick way to try them out was painting the other 2 archers from 77002 that I painted back in October.
