the Half-Orcs Infantry (2)... I don't know why the "2" before the "1"...
1- the whole "band" :
the poses are not too bad but have a little bit too much almost similar poses and the sculpt is quite flat like says 1Mac -Mike (Orcs set 3 review : "Cheap Fantasy Figures" ).
No surprise about the inspiration...
With closer pictures :
The "static poses": the standard-bearer and the musicians :
The Shooting Uruks: only 1 archer, not a lot ! maybe there will be other ones in the next sets ?
The Fighting Uruks : almost similar poses ...
and the whole set again in a more "lively" picture :
About the painting work : not great, but not bad for me (oups!) : not easy to find colours for almost dark characters ! I've tried to forget the greenish skin with a more grey one and I have added some touches of bronze and copper mixed with grey.
Like I've said before, I'm painting 2 other ALLIANCE sets :
ORCS (set 3) #72003 and Dwarves (set 2) #72008
They are 90% finished, so I will post them very soon.
A small "teaser" :
I've seen that some new sets are at the retailers so I will have to go to the market !
I wish you a nice Sunday and a good week.
Excellent painting. I'm looking forward to getting the new sets next week. I really like the dwarf king.
RépondreSupprimerNice to see a bagpipe playing dwarf!
RépondreSupprimerPredominantly gray color was cool
RépondreSupprimerShould be fun to paint and give life to these little warriors.
Ótimo domingo para você também Sam =)
them evil Orcs! Send Elves to beat them down :)
RépondreSupprimerNice work, Sam.
RépondreSupprimerFoul and contemptuous beings, but beautifully painted Sam.
RépondreSupprimerThese look great!
RépondreSupprimerI like the dwarf sculpts, especially the bagpiper and the dwarf king. Are they really tall like Alliance's first set of dwarves?
The bagpiper is a surprising figure ! I've thought to paint the other with tartan !
Supprimerthe king looks like ... a king !
Same size than the the first set !
Je trouve la sculpture de ces Uruks particulièrement réussie (mais pourquoi diable half-orcs?). Certes, les poses ne sont pas très variées, mais elles sont réussies.
RépondreSupprimerEvidemment, ta peinture met tout cela en valeur, il devient presque inutile de l'ajouter...
On attend la suite !
Merci Stéphane ! pas facile à peindre ces f***** Uruk Hai ! un peu sombres, les gars ! Tu as vu, cette fois, j'ai réussi à ne pas les peindre en vert !
Supprimer"Half-Orcs" parce que problème de copyright ! ils sont déjà limite avec ce qu'ils proposent.. étonnant que les Wargs soient passés, d'ailleurs! Mais, bon en Ukraine, ils sont peut-être plus souples ?
La suite: pas de surprise réelle, non ? plus qu'à me me procurer les nouveaux sets et c'est bon !
Oui, j'ai vu que tu as réussi à virer le vert ;)
SupprimerI like this one very much. Maybe some day I purchase them to. The idea of grey is very good. Green skin with dirt/dust on it!
RépondreSupprimerAlso looking forward to the reviews of the sets you are painting. Then I will decide if I put them on my wishlist or not!
Greetings
Peter
