In this example - I have been working on this unit of 10 x Plastic Warhammer Black Orcs, the commission included standard basing and three command figures (Boss, Musician & Standard Bearer)
 |
| Completed unit of 10 Black Orcs |
The commission was for Black Orcs in Red Armour, based with our standard basing solution - fine sand and electrostatic grass.
 |
| Boss & Standard Bearer plus three of the Black Orc Boyz |
A spray of Black undercoat with a Grey then White highlight applied, followed by base Goblin Green (Army Painter) and Flat Red (Vallejo) gave the base colours.
 |
| Centre we can see the Musician, with a drum, alongside a number of other Black Orcs |
Green ink wash was applied to the Skin areas and then Strong Tone and Red Wash (Army Painter) inks to the armour areas. I then dry brushed with a brighter red, followed by a wash to the amour with Sepia Ink (Citadel) to make it 'pop'. Details added as appropriate - Oily Steel & Brass (Vallejo) for metal work, browns for wood & Ivory for teeth, claws & horns etc
 |
| A final view of some of the completed unit |
I gave the armour a light dry brush of silver to suggest wear and tear on the kit and when dry all were given a matt varnish finish (Windsor & Newton Galeria Acrylic).
I spent some extra time on the standard and the musician's drum to add detail but these followed the same principles noted above. Overall these Black Orcs are VERY RED!
Basing was done in my usual manner with Electrostatic grass and fine sand.
