Here are some progress photos and thoughts on the painting process for my latest orc. Check the alt text!

As I know some will ask, I did film most of the process and I will edit it at some point. Cheers!

1. This is just primer, rougly applied. It approximates my shadow colors. The light is set above and to the front and I use that for lighting reference. 2. Very roughly blocking out the main light and shadow areas. 3. A bit more work on the skin. Nothing is done except for the eyes which I like to finish first because it's very messy for the area around them. At this point I realized that I don't want to paint the metal tips on the boots so I decided to shave them off. Really wish I had done that before painting. 4. I've done more work all around but nothing is really complete. At this point, I find it easier to take this photo and edit it on my computer to quickly try out the next steps. This is great for me because I can try many things in a relatively short amout of time. 5. Almost done. I ended up switching the light direction on the axe blade and kept it darker as the front side is angled slightly downwards. 6. Done and varnished. The light on the leg is weaker because of the matte finish. I intentionally wanted to suggest a matte surface for the fabrics, but now I'm thinking it would have looked better with a highlight.

Found some terrain I got for free from NOVA last year. Better than corks and tack XD

These models were released 26 years apart, but I feel like they are similar enough that they can still hang together and not look too strange.

2000 is definitely not when I painted the old orc. I was starting high school that year and while I had seen Warhammer a year before in a visit to France, it hadn't made its way to Romania yet. I was also feeling pretty mature about myself and not interested in toys at all. Here are a few thoughts on new vs old: Obviously, the tooling is much better now. The moldline and undercuts are much subtler on the modern sculpts. The new one had many more details which I just removed. I enlarged the eyes on the old one so I could paint them easier. Body type: I do prefer the gorilla anatomy of the old model, with its longer arms and shorter feet. They are mushroom creatures so it feels correct when they have stranger anatomy. Heads: I might prefer the new heads. Orcs released in the last few years have looked really vicious and feral, but these new ones are a bit goofy again, which is a big plus for me and the first thing that made me interested in them. Hands: The hands are just a bit smaller to the point they are almost interchangeable, depending on your OCD. Weapons: I like that they've made the weapons smaller. I think it makes the orcs seem larger in comparison. My ideal old world orc for when GW does them? Go back to the gorilla anatomy, but most importantly make the faces goofy!

Really like the way this base came out. Think that's how I'll do all my oldhammer models going forward.

Great game of #theoldworld at the club on Friday, and streaming the autumn reveal show from GW in parallel, what a great hobby evening 😊#warhammercommunity #warhammerfantasy #orcsandgoblins #bretonnia
