Saxons on the march
Clearing the backlog one box at a time. This time it's some Black Tree Saxons.
|
|
Wrath of Kings Loot
So my order finally arrived. I just can't feel enthusiastic about it anymore...
|
|
Saxons on the march
They're pretty ok figures.

Saxons on the march
Starting at the bottom.

Blackblood Brewing Up
Here are some orc swordsmen. Or should I say swordsorcs?
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
Ok, they are stuck on bases now.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
In primed glory.
|
|
Brushes
I finally bought some good brushes.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
Starting with silver drybrush. I briefly entertained the notion of making these more brassy, but gave it up due to time constraints.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
Starting with the boots.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
Adding tunic base.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
Skin color.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
Starting to take shape. Unlike many fantasy figures, these have thankfully very few extra doodads.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
Hmmm... very similar pic.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
Steady progress.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
Ok, now we have gloves too.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
Finishing with the shields.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
The poledancers lead the way.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
Bases painted, next station varnishing.
|
|
Blackblood Brewing Up
It's the exciting glue drying time again.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
Here they are. I painted all of them in one go so I don't have to wonder what colors I used last time.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
The poses are pretty monotonous again.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
I like the oriental vibe these guys give.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
The color scheme is straight from the box, didn't try anything fancy with it.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
It's actually pretty hard to tell the two-handed sword guy apart from the regular one, the poses are so similar.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
Row upon row of orcy goodness!
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
Maybe it would have looked better painted, but I went with the brass look instead.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
The command section.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
It's interesting how we are still stuck on this leader - standard bearer - champion scheme. Well, at least there's no musician here.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
The pointing ones are always the leaders.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
The two regular poses.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
Even these are very similar.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
As always, more rank and file poses would have been nice.
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
Perhaps I should have stuck with the ochre on the head cloth too?
|
|
Blackblood Orc Swordsmen
Another view of the lovelies.
