Old HeroQuest Orks
These fellows were part of a sort of experiment. They ended up being part of 2 really. My idea was that I had a 2 hour lunch break so I should be able to spend that time painting. I put some plastic minis, 5 bottles of paint, 3 brushes and some soap in a small box and put it in my locker. I only took paints I wouldn't mind losing (had duplicates of) and ones I needed. So, with Vallejo black, white, flat brown and reflective green, and GW rotting flesh, I produced these minis. What can you do with a VERY limited pallete. I am pretty happy with how they came out, especially as I have never painted orks or greenskins before. The second experiment came at the end when I had almost all of them painted and realized if I was going to stay true to the 5 paint color scheme, I needed to do NMM on the weapons (not having brought any metalic paints along). So, here is my first attempt at NMM. I think it came out pretty well for a first attempt and using only black and white paint. I'm not very fond of NMM in general and think my metalics are much better. For a sample of them check out my HeroQuest Chaos Warrior. Oh, I took them home to do the basing. I'm not that crazy.
