These beauties are from Dragon Bait (https://www.dragon-bait-minis.com/) to accompany the Pig Orc Shaman I painted a few weeks ago. It's the same Zorn scheme for the models, albeit a different scheme for the bases as you can't achieve that green-blue hue with a limited palette.
Here's a "warts and all" set of photographs of these beauties from the front and back. I've done it in order of my own personal preference as some were more successful than others, and honestly on some of them I did only the loosest painting for the unimportant areas. Small pouches? The mildest of highlights, if at all. Finger and toenails? A touch of grey and nothing more. Legs? Well, a bit of a skintone should suffice.
The focal points are head, chest and weapons and tightening the painting on those areas was really the goal for this project. I also aimed for a parody of Roman legionary shields as I felt it suited them, and created a touch of uniformity in an otherwise disparate group. Such characterful sculpts and an enormous amount of fun to paint them.
