I'm trying to decide whether to try and trade off some of the orc archers, I've already painted several duplicates of the same figures or try to build another unit around them. I think I've given up on trying to find more 1980-90 Orc Boar Boyz and will go with Black Tree Design to fill out the unit I wanted to do.<br /><br />I like my orcs and goblins green. I was trying to figure out a way to introduce a shift in skin tone for half orcs. I think it worked.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-38976962308800013052015-07-14T01:15:03.501-07:002015-07-14T01:15:03.501-07:00Using old figures?

Naw; they're intended to be played with (I'm hearing echoes of "Toy Story 2" here...)<br /><br />BTW, the green for the goblins is good. Definitely a bit brown-green rather than a bright emerald green and therefore much more suitable for a living being (excluding tree frogs and the like).Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-67878284928873118592015-07-13T14:35:19.526-07:002015-07-13T14:35:19.526-07:00Thanks Blaxkleric.

I'm not a fan of the bright green seen today, and think your muted tone is very similar to that first seen in the pre-slotta days. Certainly its ideal for a half-orc imho. Presumably as a Bodgehammer you're not burning all your old sculpts in protest against Age of Sigmar?Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-3781103530858443402015-07-13T10:06:23.740-07:002015-07-13T10:06:23.740-07:00Sean very nice.

I'm totally comfortable using a modern sculpt if it fits the idea in my head. I don't think you have anything to worry about...You are Oldhammer my friend. Looking forward to hanging out in a few weeks, and possibly getting a game in. Would love to do a comic report against these cursed greenskins. ;)airbornegrove26https://www.blogger.com/profile/16167504949340980657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-18309575470276605272015-07-13T06:10:24.803-07:002015-07-13T06:10:24.803-07:00Thanks Michael, it's one of those things I'...Thanks Michael, it's one of those things I've been thinking about for a long time.
