I use Machrite Red and then highlight it with Blood Red. Or I use Scab Red sometimes if I want a different kind of red. I didn't use any highlight on the orcs though I just washed them and finished it. I wanted them to look dirtier like that.

That is just ... mad. Fascinating but completely bonkers.
And I should know.

I think GtG was referring to the aesthetics, not the manufacture.
The Romans borrowed a lot of their statuary concepts from the Greeks and other nations whom they conquered over the space of around 1000 years.
It also echoes the statue of the old king near the crossroads in Ithilien - the orcs had torn off the original head and replaced it with a crude rock and carved graffiti and symbols into it.

I was referring to the robes and the Roman similarity. I should have explained my track of thought.

For some reason I never get happy with the metal models. I just can't. After a really bad paintjob, I put Saruman in acetone for a night and then repainted it again.

Sorry for the sideways photo I don't know why it uploaded like this. I'll start Grima soon too.

Nice painting on the Wargs, funny how some of the poses are similar to the Fell Wargs.

I like what you have done to the bases, very distinctive.
