Flintloque Orc Davy Crockett

This was one of those limited edition Flintloque miniatures, an Orc Davy Crockett. He did have an Orcish version of the name, but I can’t recall it, and that Google has been no help! I think back when Flintloque was released there was talk of doing some kind of Fantasy Alamo, and that this miniature was going to be the first of a range.

Flintloque Orc Dragoons

These are a couple of my Flintloque Orc Dragoons that I painted back in the 1990s.

It was my first real success at painting red. I found that red wouldn’t cover the black undecoat, what I did differently this time was to use a dark brown basecoat before painting the red. After this I would often use a different coloured basecoat to get good coverage.

I have to admit I now quite like using the (defunct) Citadel Foundation paints. Interested to try out the new Base paints that Games Workshop recently released to see how they work when painting.
