Orks...

Twenty something years ago, long before Games Workshop had arrived at our shores I was a keen collector and painter of little lead Orcs. After a childhood of Tolkien it was a natural progression. I'm only just rediscovering some of these minis that have been hidden a way in boxes stashed at the back of cupboards and in attics. And discovering that Kevin Adams still sculpts and is creating new pieces in the old style (some refer to Oldhammer).

Last year GW commissioned a few new illustrations for their Ork Codex, I was happy to oblige and keen to bring an older more feral approach to these paintings...
