Very good work on the highlights! I think the colours might be a little.... vibrant for orcs. Dulling them down with several brown and/or black washes would help solve this.

I don't think that orcs wear blue clothes, but the highlights are very well done, try with a 50/50 wash of grey and brown to make the colours less bright. but the other colors, like red and the skin of the orcs are good ! :yay:

I 2nd (3rd?) the above comments - I think the skin is a bit bright. That being said, the painting and highlights are nicely done - I appreciate the time it takes to do line highlighting rather than a drybrush.

Very nicely done. I don't find the blues too bright. I rather like them. Nice models too.

I do not usually comment on painted figures because I do not have the ability to paint as well as most of you guys. I will in this case. I think the colors are refreshing. It is nice to see something different.
I wish some of you guys would criticize my building as harshly (may be wrong word I do not think you are rude). I need to be jarred out of a rut sometimes too.

:D I think you have a metal figure I have not seen before. It is the blue one.
Is it normally in the mix or special release?
Thanks keep up the good work

Very nice work on the highlights, but I'm not so sure about blue as a color for orc skin and cloth, but perhaps that's just a personal preference. Great work though, looking forward to more. 8)

I don't mind it so much for the cloth but the skin does stand out and look strange in my opinion. Have you been watching Avatar?

Nice painting though. I just love those metal orcs and have a fair few myself. I wish they'd released more of them.

Some of the highlights are a bit extreme and personally I'm not overly keen on the blue skin but nice work overall. :)

More work done. There are four orcs near finished.

About your comments I must say that the blue orc is going to be washed with dark washed to make him darker. All the orcs are original from GW, there aren't conversions.
And I wanted a company different, not with dark colours, I wanted some colours in them.

Thanks for the comments.

I have been working in two more Orcs.
This is the result, they aren't finished, but near it.

I hope you like them.

Great models!
The brighter colours give them a "Warhammer"-type feel in a lot of ways.
