Orcs are one of the original two teams and they can play in all types of drives in Blood Bowl but they are mostly about hitting and not getting injured, with AV (armour value) of 10+ for most of the models except Throwers.Īnd if things get desperate and you find yourself behind on the scoreboard then a throw to a Blitzer is always a possibility… but keep some team re-rolls available as nothing has catch. The scheme is very much inspired by the original Gouged Eye team but also by my available paints for my AoS armies and Blood Angels… so red all the way! It doesn’t show perfectly in the pictures, but I’ve used Khorne Red and Mephiston Red to give a little variety. The team also comes with some coins that you can paint, but I’ve not got to them! They didn’t take very long to paint but are none-the-less lovely models and take undercoat and paint nicely. They also had wolf-like ears that were pointed on the ends. To ensure their loyalty Kil'Jaeden and Gul'dan ordered the clans to drink the blood of the Pit Lord demon Mannoroth. Orcs of all kinds usually had stooped builds, grayish skin, and coarse black hair, with low foreheads, reddish eyes, and faces of porcine appearance that featured large lower canines similar to a boar's tusks. Durotan of the Frostwolf Clan warned the orcs not lose themselves, but was drowned out by chieftains like Grom Hellscream of the Warsong Clan. 6 Orc Linemen 2 Orc Throwers 2 Orc Blitzers 2 Big Un Blockers (painted with darker skin) While they differed greatly, orcs shared certain physical qualities.

The box set comes with 6 Orc Linemen, 2 Orc Throwers, 2 Orc Blitzers and 2 Big Un Blockers. And the first team was clear… Orcs! Blood Bowl Orc Team The major advantage here was they were already assembled so I could get straight to it. Fortunately I’ve got a lot of the new Blood Bowl teams which have been unpainted on a shelf since the re-release. So, I took my own advice and decided for a change… but I wanted something with a definite end. This is probably because I’ve not painted tanks in a long time!

I’ve been struggling a bit recently to complete my Age of Darkness boxset having done all the troops I now have the Dreadnought and Spartan on the painting table, but just can’t seem to make progress.
