It has been probably thirty year since I played Warhammer Fantasy Battles and these figures have been in the cave for at least that long. I think the Savage Orc range is one of GW’s best. Having these finished is tempting me to go back to those I painted originally (with Humbrol enamels) to re-do them.
Savage Orcs are a notorious sub-culture of the Greenskin race, formed by barbaric and fierce Orc tribes that wear no armour and fight with simply made weapons such as maces and clubs. They are considered a complete bunch of primitives, even by Orcish standards. Nevertheless, Savage Orcs are notoriously wild and ferocious, even more so than other Orcs, and their enemies regard them as by far the most dangerous of their kind. See Warhammer Fandom.
Great looking Orcs Dave, always liked the savage orcs the best.
all the Daves love savage orcs! I reckon they’re great too
A savage orc Davecon?
My dwarves will be ready!
Nicely done! 🙂 I really like the squig as well!
I remember when GW figures were mostly metal and not overly complex is sculpt – I mean who wants to spend 5 hours painting wound counters (err, basic troopers)!
Nice job on dusting off the old figures and giving them a new coat!
These are great. The green is so vibrant
Really like those.
Cheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete. Connections Oz was good too.
Those bring memories! The round bases are almost shocking, there…
Yeah I took them of the WFB 30mm square bases to suit the games systems i now play!
