"I'm gonna get a sword!" (One-upmanship begins) "Fine, I'll do a sword and a shield!" "Sword, spear, and shield" *Frrrrt* (Orc in the lower right) "Look guys, if you each take more than one weapon some guys won't get any."
"I'm gonna get a sword!"

"I want two shields, a spear, and two axes."
They are so cute I would hug them to death.
ReplyDeleteGak! They're green! Is there no end to Games Workshop's reach.... :(
ReplyDeleteApart from the greeness they'#re great :)
Thanks.
DeleteWhat color do you consider canonical?
ANY colour other than green :)
DeleteAll the orc minis you see are painted/ coloured green simply because Games Workshop started painting their orc/goblin minis green back in the 80s.
Given GW's prime position in the fantasy gaming market, people now assume that orcs are green.
The Lotr minis may change that.
My own goblins (don't have any orcs) have red/orange/yellowish skin tones.
Nice icons. Just saw your new illustrated orc page. I hope you plan on creating icons for all the monsters. Great look and feel!
ReplyDeleteI have a goal of doing every monster in the Holmes blue book and making a big poster/infomatic with all the icons.
