Bob Olley Samurai Orcs - Lead Adventure League - Round 6

This is a project long in the making. My round 6 LPL entry was "Bamboo Raiders", and was the last group of Samurai-inspired orcs I needed to finish to complete the set I bought around fifteen years ago.

 


The larger troll/oni I acquired a couple of years ago- but he's by Bob Olley as well, so fits right in.

The first  LPL I was in, in 2011, introduced this group:


 

I added this band of orcs in 2012:


Add this group in 2017:



2018's entry:


This does it for my Samurai orcs and goblins army, a bunch of minis I bought for no reason other than I liked they way they looked.



 

Thanks for looking!

  1. Beatifully painted- i like the blue/grey skin yone. What in the world is that orc riding? A goblin/dog/horse hybrid?

    1. Not quite sure, that guy is a goblin shaman I think... he's from the Clan War game. Looks like a weird semi-sentient demon/goblin/dog hybrid as you say :)

  3. They're stunning, great choice of colours, the skincolour is quite daring but it works brilliantly.

    1. Thanks! Didn't seem too daring at the time, just wanted to avoid the usual colors :)

  4. I do like that old Bob Troll - he works very well with his little siblings. Lovely paint jobs as always. Collectively they're enticing me to try my hand at some oriental adventure-themed painting myself - damn you!

  6. Hi there,

    Your paint job is really great! I especially love the Troll!

    Would you be able to share your color schemes? I'm really interested in how you got those skin tones (both the orcs and the Troll).

    Thank you either way!

    1. Hello, sorry for the delayed response!
      The orcs have a base skin tone using a Delta Ceramcoat craft paint - "Medium Victorian Teal". The recesses were a wash of a blue/purple if I recall correctly, then the Teal again, then highlighted by adding white to the Teal.

      I can't recall on the troll, but it was probably a yellow-brown ochre color with a Reikland Flesh wash, highlighted with white.
