The Lavender 'Leadbelchers'

Hello one and all!

Well, after five years of living in Japan I am now back in the UK and, what a way to make a come-back to the hobby by painting a 27-man (err orc) Bloodbowl team. It has taken about two months to complete (which is a little slow) however, considering I haven't really painted anything for five years ... it's not too bad.

I currently use 'Coat 'D' Arms' paints (as you get more paint per pot - and they cost less - than Games Workshop's paints) which I really like. Below is a basic guide to how I painted my team:

Orc lineorc:

1) - Base colours: Bogey green (for the flesh), poison purple (for the armour), Elven Grey (for the clothes), hairy beard (for the leather), black (for the boots and spikes).

2) - Once done, I washed the whole model in Games Workshop's Athrax Earthshade.

3) - I highlighted the flesh and purple by adding 'bone' to both base colours. For the clothes, I just applied another coat of Elven Grey. For the leather, I applied a lighter brown. For the spikes and boots, I applied black once more before applying gunmetal and washing them in Games Workshop's Serpent Sepier. Finally, I would highlight all spikes and boots with Mithril Silver.
