Rackham Orcs

I fell in love the Rackham orcs in the days when minis from Rackham was the best you could get. Fantastic details and great sculpts. The downside was and is that they take forever to paint. But you get a very nice mini when you’re finished.
I painted the flesh of these brutes with Citadel Foundation Tallarn Flesh. The other colours… your guess is as good as mine.
I based them on Sally 4th clear 25mm bases.
I still got 10+ Rackham orcs in the tin-mountain, waiting for paint.

Now, if only I could find those Rackham orc riders. Why didn't I buy them when I had the chance?

  1. Wonderful minis Joakim, I really like the clear bases too! I saw a few riders on Ebay a while ago...

    1. Thanks.
      The bases are great and I base almost all my 28mm figs on them now.
