(half) Orcs blimmin well everywhere!!!!

So, after the test pieces last time out i have got the 6mm irregular miniatures Man Orcs foot units done!......But first:
Good ol' Frank.

  So here at chez Sprinks we are shut away from the outside stuff while the world goes tonto, i was expecting the end of civilization as we know it to come with more zombies but there you go (just joking of course, the situation is a touch dicey so do stay safe everyone). However every cloud an' all that, us miniaturists do have the bonus of extra unexpected painting time thrust upon us so in the spirit of not looking a proverbial gift horse where you would normally not be advised to i have cracked on with my Bakshi inspired orcs (well half orcs but you get the point.).

 The grunts assemble.

 three units of spear armed nasties.

 Archers and swordsmen.

 Axe orcs and more archers.

 Skirmishers, presumably to do all the skirmishing.

Some units from the rear, probably legging it from a judicious kicking from some lawful types.

  I know the miniatures are hardly exact matches to the Orcs in question but i think they do work well in the part, i just hope they capture the spirit and feel of the subject.


Just some horse riding types and trolls to add, maybe some wolves to give more flexibility, then on to their opponents.......




........'till next time.......
