Citadel Creepy Crawlies

I went on a bit of a rampage over the winter collecting, prepping, and painting Citadel Creepy Crawlies. I really appreciate the scale of these figures vis a vis Citadel 28mm human figures. I really hate modern oversized "giant" monsters, when, by rights, they would be "huge" in compasion to that scale.

 These are the sexond batch of scorpions. My others are black.

 Also a second batch of giant ticks.

 These are pretty strange looking beetles, but tried to make the most of them.

 These are the Ad&d fire beetles. I already have a set painted in that motif, so I sent blue here for other types of beetles.

 A collection of giant rhinocerous beetles.

 Giant ants, big and small.

 Giant frogs.

 More frogs with a different look.

 Giant lizards.

 Dimetrodons.

These giant crabs are from the early citadel fantasy tribes range, I believe.

C15-16 Armoured Orcs: Part II

Here is the second installment of my C15-16 Armoured Orcs. Behold the Orcs of the Red Eye!

This final guy was more of a colour test for Uruks I plan on painting down the road. In the final tally I don't think I will use it. I want very muted skin tones.

C15-16 Armoured Orcs

I have been reading the miniatures blog Iron Mitten with great interest over the last year. Specifically, he did a fantastic job of painting his old school citadel orcs in a Peter Jackson inspired LOTR-way. It is really cool and effective. I hate the mundane repetitiousness of goblin green orcs and his approach was right up my alley. So, I prepped my pre-slotta C15-16 orcs (integrated bases removed) and used them as my first effort before I get to the near 100 80s Citadel orcs in storage. I went with the White Hand and Red Eye tribes as a callback to LOTR and a tip of the cap to the Iron Mitten blog. First Up, The Orcs of the White Hand!
