So with that, my first two Black Orc Blockers were finished. While some people may think it’s still too light, I am rather pleased with the outcome. Take a look at this comparison image:Īs you can see, the regular Orc has a bit of a yellowish tinge to his skin, while the Black Orc’s skin is slightly darker and less vibrant.
That way, the skin of the Black Orcs ended up looking slightly darker and more desaturated. So my solution to this particular problem was to repeat my usual recipe step for step, but mix in a drop of black for each step. And I also don’t like Black Orcs that have a completely different skin colour from the regular Orcs surrounding them. For one, my approach so far had produced a skin colour I really liked. And while I wanted my own Blockers to look slightly different from my players, I didn’t want to use a completely different recipe for their skin. I painted the mouth and tongue in a mix of red and purple and washed the mouth cavity with GW Leviathan Purple for some added depth.įor many people, the most important thing about Black Orcs is their skin colour. I also added some Gorkamorka decals in yellow, once again.Įasily one of my favourite models in the team so far: The pose and screaming face really tell you that it is ON now Plus the bare face really adds some personality to the model. Apart from that, though, I stuck to my usual recipe. As you can see, some of the armour plates were picked out in black for some added variety. And I only cut off his weapons’ blades, leaving the hilts looking like crude knuckledusters. Let’s check out the models in more detail: I used pretty much the same paint recipe for their armour, though, to make sure they fit the overall look of the team. So here are my first two completed Black Orc Blockers:Īs you can see, the heavy armour instantly differentiates them from both the Linemen and the Blitzers. Apart from that, it was all smooth sailing. Not only will the contents of that box come in handy for my Orcish warband for Mordheim as well, but I also wanted my Black Orcs to look suitably impressive and heavily armoured.įortunately enough, the plastic Black Orcs are perfect recreations of those cool late 90s metal models I loved so much when I was still playing WFB, and they also work really well as Blood Bowl models with only some minor adjustments: When building them, I cut off their weapons to just leave the armoured gauntlets. While most of my Blood Bowl players are indeed “refurbished” 40k and WFB Orcs, I actually went and picked up a new box of Black Orcs in order to build some Blockers for the Orkheim Ultraz.
However, my colleague has a beautifully painted Lustria team, so you might get some glimpses of it, once the report from my first Blood Bowl game comes rolling around Thanks, Nashbashem! To tell you the truth, I have very little inclination of building and painting Lizardmen myself.
