Battle Masters Ork boys for Warhammer Old World - Posted: March 17, 2025 - Manufacturer: Games Workshop
For this one I added a standard bearer and decided to put some extra effort
into the shields and clothing and armor; basically kick them up a notch. I am
happy with the result. Those evil suns shields were fun and I like them. The banner
turned out well too.

The orcs and their fancy shields all ranked up. Note that they do not rank
up well at all; I had to stagger them on the bases, some on the front of hte
base, and some on the back so that they can stand beside each other on 25mm squares.
The level of rust on these I thought was a good compromise.

On the rear of this unit you can really see the extra effort that went into the
pants and a couple of the shoulder pads. The banner pole is a plastic-covered paper
clip, and it looks pretty good and it will never break.

Another three wolf riders to go with the original set brings the total up to six and
that completes the Battle Masters wolf riders! It feels like such a small number of figures
but also what a huge amount of work haha! I went with the evil sun on the shield, to contrast
with the moon on the shields of the other unit. I thought they turned out pretty well.

Front the other side you can see that dirty flag, which is inspired by Andalusian penants
from the Reconquista, which I chose only because I didn't want to do a Mongol-inspired 'banner'
I am happy with these wolf riders for sure, and they were super cheap compared to the new ones :)

I absolutely love these little figures. Aside from being monopose, they are absolutely adorable little
guys. With their little fancy jackets with the fur ruff, buckled belts, and proper boots they're basically Santa's elves
with green skin. They're also so bloody cheerful!

Despite the very well-maintained little outfits these goblins really let their weapons go to crap... They
spend all their time making sure those shields are well cared for. Not sure why, but I wanted to mess around
with that rust paint, and I like it even though we all know those goblins would have well-polished swords in
real life :)

I think these might be some of the first Warhammer-style orcs I've ever painted. To be honest
I never really liked the rediculously over-sized style and cartoonishness of the Warhammer orcs.
I kinda like those new Age of Sigmar Orruk figures more than these... I know that these Warhammer orcs
are beloved by the orc community, and I appreciate that for sure, they're just not for me. That being said these are just
absolutely classic, and so yeah, why not paint them for Battle Masters? I won't paint an army for
Old World of these style orcs tho, but I'll enjoy the two units I have to paint for Battle Masters!

I tried some new rust affect stuff, Dirty Down rust. It's definitely interesting, but not what I thought
it would be. I kinda like it, but it takes a lot to make it look rusty, and that just won't work as is
for warriors with uncared for weapons. Sure they'd get rusty, but not as rusty as a 100 year old vehicle
left to rot in Fallout like this stuff does well. Anyway, I like these figs.

These wolves were so hard to find motivation for, but they turned out all right. I was quite
concerned that the wolves were terrible sculpts and what the hell was I wasting time painting
them for anyway?!? Then I saw the Oathmark goblin wolf riders and immedietely wished I was painting
those instead... and then I realized that these sculpts are about the same in detail, and that the
quality was more of a style thing and less of a quality thing. Sure, some soft detail, but
ultimately, very similar.

This one isn't completely authentic. It's actually a fourth-edition Warhammer goblin spearman
glues on to the Battlemasters wolf. Honestly, I have been wanting to paint one of these
goblin spearmen again for years, and so I just swapped it. Funny thing it, it's actually
not really in scale with the BattleMasters one... Also, the shield isn't free hand.

The side view gives a pretty good look at the wolf and the shield, which turned out pretty
well in the end despite my initial uncertainty about the wolf sculpts.

A look at the classic clean lines with bright colours that harkens back to the early 90s
warhammer style... and let's face it, that's still my painting style these days :D Call me old
school I guess.

More clean lines and bright colours on the back.

This is the real deal, with freehand on the shield and a red nose that seems popular these
days. The nose turned out okay, but I realized that I have a hard time blending from one colour
to another.

Went for a yellowish green skin, turned out okay. Skin variations in goblins should be pretty common
I imagine!

I went for a dirty neck scarf/hood. It worked out okay, but I'm not thrilled with it.

From the back you can see the rusty helmet and the dirty neck scarf/hood. Overall, I like the
sculpt.

Yet another original sculpt, freehand shield is slightly different, and the skin again
slightly different.

I was really happy about the colour scheme and final result on the wolf. The red eyes
were fun.

Smooth skin is nice, but does it work on a goblin?!?

This goblin has those clean clothes again... painting dirt for me is an extra step, so It
skipped it...
