Asgard Orcs

These Asgard orcs are so tiny, with remarkably fine and delicate details requiring a totally different approach to painting than their more robust and chunky descendants by Citadel and the like. Many poses are bafflingly odd- bent almost 90 degrees to the ground so the orcs appear to be crawling or slinking across the ground. There’s something a bit primitive or animalistic about them, which matches Tolkien’s descriptions of twisted, corrupted elves. Very unusual design choices, but nevertheless amazing models, would love to hear more about the thought process that went into sculpting them. Sculpted by Jes Goodwin.
