You gotta hand it to them...

Continuing the hand theme for the Severed Hand tribe I felt inspired enough to gather all the remaining shield bearing orcs I had left and get them painted quick smart!




The older Perry sculpts were a little trickier as they weren't as detailed facially as the Kev Adams and Nick Lund stuff - probably need to go back at some stage with some more highlights...

However it was the shields I was mainly concerned with and lots of fun they were too!

Inspired by VoodooInk's neat names for some of the last bunch I present -

'Pollice Verso'





'The Fonz'



'Live long and prosper'



'Rock On'




'Flipping the Bird'


There may be a little tension over who leads this tribe as I've realised that I have two versions of the mighty Ugezod himself! Thanks again to Kidterminal of the LAF for this older version and Guzrog Dogchild a bit further up - also from the Death Commandos set! I also have the newer version from Ugezod's Mothercrushers, who makes a good stand in for the Hagar Sheol scenario mini which commands such crazy prices on ebay!


 


And the motley crew so far...

  2. Thanks! Got a few Hirst Arts bits myself - mixed bag off ebay - looks like I may be able to build a bridge and some ruins with them.


    Currently painting an orc archer for the "how to" ...

  3. Nice improvement to the old Sauraman's white hand motif. When painting my orcs I went for a night sky moon, star, bones motif. I'll have to make a hand print warband next time.

  4. Ta very much - just thought all that blak and white might get a bit tedious after a while!

    Sounds like a good motif you've hit on there too - can't beat a good old bad moon!

  5. I'd be delighted if you checked out the orcs on my blog. I just love the look of the Vendel Miniatures line. I've only painted 6 orcs so far. I bought a big box of them on eBay years ago. I need to get on some more!

  6. Very nice too - not really come across Vendel before but I like them - very Tolkienesque/traditional style orcs and goblins if that makes sense - nice paintjobs as well!

    That's a very nice blog you got there - and a new follower!
