Nice detail on the shields Jeff, Eyes front!

I've been working all weekend so now find myself at home as work won't pay over-time, so I get time in lieu, have been posting pictures of my Orcs on Tumbler in an effort to spread the work of Orctober, here's a small sample so far. Most of these chaps have traveled to BOYL at least twice and never been out of their boxes for assorted reasons! :lol: maybe next year. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Enjoy Paul / Golgag1

Love the bloke with the crossed arms. What is he?

Here is another chip from the lead mountain and a possible entry for Orktober.

Knocked out from start to finish in less then an hour and just so much character in his face.

Originally bought as a Watch Squig for my Gorka Morka warband, I just snatched him out of the Lead mountain and went to town on him.

It was such a lovely cast it pretty much painted itself. The only reason I went with the purple was because the pots were open at the time, but it really worked IMHO.

Even it's arse was a pleasure to paint!

Well here's a few more to be going on with. I've been posting a series of pictures on Tumbler hopefully spreading the word.

All the best

Top shieldwork there Jeff, and a great army of lovely stuff there Paul.

Meanwhile, not strictly Orctober (ahem) I just spotted these 'orcs' (aren't they?)

Thanks for all the great responses guys. My wife decided to take us away for the half term holiday so I didn't finish my own Orctober project. In light of this I'm holding entries for the prize draw open until I'm done, it woudl be unfair to kepp those runnign afew days late out when I can't even finish myself.

I'll make another summary of the various entries inthe past week and a half in due course. Now to decide what I have too much of and can safely give away.

I just need to take some good group shots of my finished 9 orc warband, which may have to wait until the weekend as it's so dark so early.. :cry:

Sorry Erny, but the rules clearly stipulate that the cut off date for submissions was at the end of the month. Better luck next year buddy :lol:

Oh OK Optimus I guess your right. So as I didn't get finnished and Optimus says I can't extend the dead line I'll have to withdraw my side of the bargin, namely giving away some miniatures.

You can all blame Optimus... :grin:


Nah I can't do that to you, particularly as I spent last night rooting through my garage, this year I'm going to give the winner a choice of prize too.

I'd also like to donate my Orky underwear to the winner...

What makes them Orky you say? Well they haven't been washed since the RT days and I'm pretty sure fungus is growing on them.. plus there red speedos :)

Here's a simple trick to help with your photography Golgfag. Don't use the cameras flash....ever :) It kills all colour and makes a whole lot of unsightly reflections. Also, don't take photos under fluorescent or incandescent lighting either.

Just use natural light if you can, but not blindingly bright. If you can't take pic's in the daytime because of it not being a free commodity :roll: then use a "daylight globe" in your lamp instead, or use a LED lamp.

Oh, and remember, whichever daylight method you use make sure that your camera is switched to daylight mode in the "white balance settings".

I think if you try it out you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results :grin:

Not the best time of year to attempt this but I'll give it a try at the weekend, thanks for the advice.

Here are all the Orcs I painted for Orctober, they actually make up a warband which I rolled up using Erny's generator. At some point I'll game with them against a Realm of Chaos warband:

I'm too lazy to check to see if I've already said it, but that banner and those shields are absolutely amazing!
