Battle Masters Ork Warriors for Warhammer Old World  -  Posted: 2024-12-01  -  Manufacturer: Games Workshop
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...
