Maraudin'

In a barren pass, a warband of chaos fights its way through an orc ambush.

I am slowly working away at a proper chaos retinue, inspired ye' olde Path of Glory. Its a theme I find myself returning to continously. Warbands of crazed followers of dark gods, mutated with barely understood eldritch magic running trough their veins and battling for a faint chance of eternal glory, their ultimate fate most likely being madness... that's some cool imagery, and quite fertile grounds for modelling projects. 

Orc Chief

.... aaaaand I am back to painting fantasy. In preparation for a project I am working on, I've started painting up some more fantasy models. This orc is a cheap one from CP Models that I've had for a long while. Not a super impressive sculpt, but I like it. It has something of a simple charm about it.

I've been experimenting with under-painting using matt medium, very much inspired by the style of Delaney King (and a couple others). The orc took me an hour from black base coat to finish, which is a time I am very happy with, considering the result.
