Gorbad- possible DG entry?

[CreganTur]

I've always wanted to paint one of the really gritty and violent fantasy orcs from GW,and I managed to pick up an old metal Gorbad Ironhide on the cheap at a LHS down in Atlanta. I really like this sculpt- there are a lot of open areas to play around on and I plan on trying a bunch of new things to really make him look good.

So far the only think finished on him is the skin, mouth, and teeth (except for the metal tusk). I started out with a mixture of Goblin Green and Bronzed Flesh for the base color. I shaded to red and then down into purple with a number of glazes and brought up the highlights to a pure glaze of Deck Tan.

The tongue was actually fun to paint and took a number of different colors to complete. I based it with VMC Scarlet Red and the applied a few washes of Leviathan Purple. Once that all dried I glazed some pink around the outer edge and blended it all together.

I'm hoping to make this guy a DG entry, so harsh critiques are most appreciated.

Whoops, you're right- it is Grimgore. I got mixed up because I was recently reading an old paint masters article on painting Gorbad.

The skin looks really orkish. Its hard to say about faults, coz pics are to small. In what you`ve given it looks really well.
