WarbossKurgan's Orc Pirates

What green s are you using for your Orcs? Is that mostly a layering up technique?

Pretty simple layering actually: Orkhide shade base all over, Snot Green mid-tone (everywhere except recesses), Goblin Green highlight-lines (roughly following texture of muscles).

Look out for him on a street near you (or Vercuso... that one probably!)









Comparrison shot with Yung-Qi and Mung-Qi:

Yungi-Qi REALLY turned out COOL! I LOVE the way you did the Bamboo Staff. VERY WELL DONE!

Those are brilliant!

This is the latest addition to the Gloomwyrms: Bro-Ching-To the Ogre Bodyguard. He'll have a load of tattoos covering half his torso and his left arm (Triad style) when he's painted:











I've re-positioned his right foot and his head to make him a little more dynamic than the standard Ogre Bull model, and I've put his arms on at different angles to add to the look. I also added the old 6th adition Empire spearman shield to add to his eastern appearance as well as changing the ogre "bag of bones" into a generic bag and I've given him an Empire Outrider pistol and ammo bag.

You are a GENIUS!!!

Looking good. Can't wait to see this feller wearing some paint!

Finally finished painted my Cathayan Pirate Ogre Hired Sword:









Since the longest part of the paint-job was his tattoo, I took some extra shots of it:

Great work WbK! That's like a whole new level of wow.

I have to agree with Von Kurst here, awesome job sir!

I particularly like the blue tattoo on his back the most.

Awsome work on the ogre, i gaver the tattoo is a twist on the dragon koi.

Doc

VERY COOL! The Tattoo REALLY gives the Big Guy an Oriental feel...VERY Shanghai. As always VERY WELL DONE!

You keep bringing great looking models to this forum...

And OMG, the tattoo on the Ogre....

...perfect is just a too little word for your work...

Job well done on the ogre! Great detail on the tatoos!

Great mini! Really like the idea with the shield. The symbol on it looks like a chinese Qilin.

This warband is one of the most characterful I've seen. So much feeling and wonderful conversions. A joy to behold!

Thanks guys! Much appreciated

I knew it looked chinese-ish but I wasn't aware of the term "Qilin" after a quick google it looks just right! So thanks for that!

Your warband(s) are incredible. The models have so much character. I really like the ogre as well. Thanks for sharing all of these inspiring pictures.

I have been planning an orc warband for a while and now I think I will make it a pirate orc warband. Stuck on a color scheme a bit though. Don't want to do red for the accent color. Any ideas?

Try yellow orblue :O
I remember some "Gorka-morka" Orcs with some yellow here and there, and
they were great.

Holy snot, that tattoo is incredible. Very very nice work. The skin looks great as well.

I'm so glad to see this thread is still growing. 11 pages of awesome! It's always great to visit this thread.

A few more Pirateers are about to be pressganged by the Ogresuns:

They GLOOM, they GLOWER, they look sae BIG...sorry I was having a Scottish moment there. COOL STUFF! You can NEVER have enough Orc Pirates. KEEP'EM COMING!

Ohh...

I like the braided hair-squig - that's a nice touch. Am I correct in assuming it was taken from the beastmen gor frame?

I've loved your Orc Pirates ever since the day I discovered them (I think I posted an Orc Pirate army list on the Warhammer Forum and somebody pointed them out to me). I was blown away! You have certainly put the single Orc pirate that I have made to shame with these incredible conversions!
