With the deadline for the 1 Million Miniatures challenge approaching (May 9th!) and having been distracted from painting for a bit due to participating in a Vampire the Eternal Struggle tournament, it was time to get back on track and make a dent in the last 21 models needed for me to hit 100.
I’ve painted one Blood Bowl team already during this challenge (the Amazons) as my gaming group is keen to get into Blood Bowl. Another friend was keen to join in but not necessarily interested in the hobby aspect of the game and as I had this Orc team lying around from an old starter set I decided to paint it up for him to borrow.
I’ve been painting quite a few Warhammer and Warhammer 40k orcs/orks recently and decided to changing things up and go for a blue scheme rather than the reds and blacks I’ve been going with. I quite like the look of these, might have to paint some more blue armoured Orks in the future.
Painting process-wise, there’s not too much to write about, this is the good old base coat, Agrax Earthshade all over, highlights type of painting. The skin recipe is the same as my Warhammer orcs.
I enjoyed painting the markings on these, it’s a fun part of painting any orcs/orks, and you can get away with being a bit messy, you can be sure orcs wouldn’t be particularly neat.
These models take me to 91 total for the challenge, just need to find 9 more to do inside the next two weeks and I’ll be all done. Back to the painting table!
