Law Enforkment

The last of the Massive Darkness greenskins fall before my brush!

I do paint like a frenzied barbarian. An hour a half a night, almost every night, head down and in silent concentration. Frenzy doesn't have to imply loud, after all. Or in motion. Very still, very silent frenzy. The Furore Buddhisma the Romans wrote of.

These are Orc Enforcers, who turn out to be the slightly more tanky, armoured ones. Their axes are weird looking, more giant wedge than hatchet, but you're not going to quibble form if it's being rammed through your temples, are you?

Same paint job as last week, give or take. The colour scheme is reproduced here, for future generations, in the standard

A few characters, to spice it up. Firstly, and for the sake of completion, this Orc Agent.

Props to Stylus, I pinched the paint scheme for his albinorc complexion from his excellent Grom the Paunch model. Really good model, this one, best of the Agents in the game I think. His pose really captures the sneer and arrogance of an evil genius.

Next, a Roaming Monster. It's the Medusa!

Or technically, the Liliarch, an eight-armed snake demon. Great Sinbad vibe from this one, takes me back to midweek afternoon telly watched Harryhausen films when I was a kid.

I went with the Coral Snake for venomous inspiration. Easily confused with similar coloured and non-lethal snakes, as you all know, hence the old rhyme about the bands - Red Touch Black, Can't Hurt Jack, Red Touch Yellow, Kill a Fellow.

Snake's Got Blades?
Be Afraids!

Finally, a Hero to fight them all and/or die trying. Lil' Ned, the Ogre hero, who's another smashing sculpt.

He's a good guy, so he gets a paladin paint scheme. And an anvil on a stick.

With the traditional greenskins sorted, it's on to a very slightly less generic evil dungeon denizen for next time!
