Yes, Warhammer Orcs. Although this revelation is not going to cause any Katie Perry level 'I Kissed a Girl' excitement, I did kind of like it!
These will have proper painters appalled by the rubbish paintjob, but after doing a big bunch of black undercoated 1/72 Confederates recently I thought I'd try the same approach with some fantasy figs I picked up ages ago and see how they came out.
Not flash, but dip can hopefully hide a multitude of painting sins, and Dragon Rampant games become a little closer to reality...
The Orcs and the dip work well together.
ReplyDeleteA useful unit for a Dragon Rampant game.
ReplyDeleteThey look fine. I have recently started using dip to see if it would make a difference and I must say I am very happy with the results. I mainly use it on 1/72 WW2, ACW and Fantasy but I am also going to try it on 28mm WSS figures. Cheers
ReplyDeleteThey look great, Aaron. It's always refreshing doing something completely different sometimes. And, they would be perfect for Dragon Rampant.
ReplyDeleteBuwhahaha! Welcome to the dark side my fellow green skin! Be prepared for the odd looks when you give the great Ork war cry when playing your friends, whaaaaaaaaaaa!
ReplyDelete:)
Thanks all - they're rough as guts, but they'll do, hopefully!
ReplyDeleteThe horror! ;-)
ReplyDeleteDip covers all painting sins. I wish I'd been dippin' years ago.
ReplyDeleteEyes duly averted... :-)
ReplyDeleteActually, I played a lot of D&D back in the day, and have written a set of Fantasy rules as well!
