AHPC XVI: From Mike W - 28mm Orcs & Night Goblins (105 Points)

 Real life has held up my planned painting schedule this week, resulting in a small group of 20 x Orcs & Night Goiblins, that will join my exixting collection. These are also the last of the batch of figures that I prepared at the start of this challenge to get completed this year - so another small success!

Completed group of 20 x Greenskins

The three Night Goblins

And the reverse view

The painting process was as per previous posts this year and thus they will hopefully seemlessly fit in with the rest of my collection!. 

I couldn't get ethe camera to focus on the figure and the banner at thesame time, so here is a close up of the banner. (with attached skull!)

And a better focus on the figure, albeit hidden behind the banner...

There are 6 x Orcs that carry shields and 4 x Orcs armed with bows. There are also 6 x Orcs with either two hand weapons or a hand weapon and spear.

And the reverse view

I have also painted an Orc Standard Bearer and painted the flag (albeit a Raggerty Orc Standard) by hand. Finally there are three Night Goblin Bowmen to complete the group.

Four Orcs with two hand weapons

And two with a spear and hand weapon,
with the business end of the spear very near the camera

AHPC XVI: From Mike W - 28mm Greenskins (105 Points)

 So after a hiatus in my painting production last week, I'm gradually getting back into the swing, albeit that this post is a smaller contribution that I'm usually able to do.

This week I present a group of 21 Greenskins - 20 x Orcs plus one Night Goblin!

The completed batch of Greeskins

The reason for my hiccup in painting was that I succumbed to my wife's entirely reasonable request to redecorate my office / studio room! It's very hard to argue that I'm no good with a big paintbrush when I spend so much time painting with little ones! ðŸ˜€

Some big 1:1 scale painted terrain! 

I was thinking I could claim a point or two basis this work being classed as terrain but no, that would bee too cheeky.

Back to the Orcs, the painting method was exactly the same as previously described an the 20 Orcs and single Night Goblin will be distributed to add numbers to existing regiments in my collection.

Another view of the Greenskins

So 5 more Orcs Biguns to join the regiments I already have

Three shield armed Orcs, two with spears and one with
choppa to re-enforce existing regiments

First smaller group of the 12 x Orc Archers that are in this batch

The 3 x Skulls I'm claiming for in this post are clearly seen here!

Final shot of thee Orcs and the stray Night Goblin!

Hopefully lots more figures in the next couple weeks - until some re-carpeting needs to be done.....
