Thanks Guys!
Speaking of using black the Meggaboss is back and I've introduced some black into his colour palette.

I'm glad I tried the black base colour as you say it looks more moody and aggressive. I think it gives me a whole new range of colour & atmosphere to play with.

I've finished the black armour so, as a reward, I get to have all the fun of painting the big skull!

In my opinion one of the best skulls I've ever seen

In my opinion one of the best orcs I've ever seen! [gulp] ...one of the best paintjobs, period? I mean, this is crazy. Retirement for Sproket seems like it'll be pretty fun for us, as well.
This figure stands in need of absolutely no improvement, but as a spotted person (sort of covered in freckles), I still think you've not quite made the orc moles look 'natural'. They remain one of my favorite parts of the painting, so no worries either way.

I was talking about this mini to a friend of mine today, and that skull is just amazing. The variations in texture are mind blowing. I love that there is a distinct difference between the bone and the teeth.

Thanks so much guys! I'm sorry so many of you are feeling poorly :laugh:
It's always a nice little touch to pick out the teeth on a skull in a different colour or tone. The enamel will age diferently to the bone. I've seen some very aged and brown skulls with white looking teeth!

Incredible as always. There's usually one bit of these miniatures that stand out to me and with this one that's the bit of the skull just in front of the eye socket. Really awesome.
Out of curiosity, how long do you spend working out where the light/shading/brown tones are going to go on each surface of the armour? Or do you just know naturally?

Exactly! I'll have to remember it the next time I do a skull... In the Warhammer world it won't be long!

I hadn't even noticed that yet. Holy crap it's good.
I wonder if the teeth of the orc should also shine a bit more to match those on the skull (which are definitely the best teeth I've ever seen... and my dad was a dentist!).

I've slowed up a bit on account of pre-Christmas busyness and a pre-Christmas cold but I'm making a bit of progress.
