Painting great Warhammer Old World Miniatures - Ork!

- The return of Warhammer The Old World is great, now I can paint some of my old minis! In this video I restore a 1992 Warhammer Ork Champion to its former glory because its way cooler than the new Old World Ork champion. We go through a nice green Ork skin scheme as well as a great yellow armour tutorial, and more. Another Epic tale from the Hobby realm.

I see Alex, I click. I see Alex painting an Ork, I click faster.
Great thing to live by! :)
This is a great orc- he looks happy! 🙂
Thank you Goobs! He's told me as much, after eating that other ork for breakfast.
The old orcs and goblins have some great character to their sculpts. I really enjoy their goofiness.
Yeah, same here. I'm one of the ones that think goblins kept evolving in the right direction but orks took a little bit to serious a turn.
Hear, hear! @@52Miniatures
Think those sculpts were by the main green skin sculptor of the time Kev Adams. He had a brilliant light-hearted mischievous style.
@52Miniatures I completely agree. They need to bring back the Ork goofiness. The goblins are my favorite army by far because of the lighthearted approach.
@@erikbraun473 Brian Nelson’s sculpts were the first major change from Kev Adam’s and they had the nice balance between brutal and jokey. The modern sculpts look really good but lack that sense of subtle comedy
Your way of narrating videos is truly something else. You speak with little to no pause for 20+ minutes, and you manage to hold my attention for every second of it. Stunning paintjob and an amazing video.
I appreciate it Jakob, thank you
Hobbit is indeed a great book for any age! Cool happy ork as well :)
Truly Georg!
Im simple. I see classic models and I click. I really like this paint scheme. Its really colorful but slightly muted that gives it a vintage feeling. Like an old memory. And then the piercing red eyes stand out.
Got's to have that piercing stare
Old guys unite! More old minis pls. Great Orc btw!
Thanks Howie, and great to know. Thanks!
I was tickled by a Tshirt I passed that said
"It's strange to be the same age as all these old people"
The flickering light did it for me ❤
A bunker is not complete without one, right?
Excellent yellow and green combo, he pops so well
Thanks Gokou!
Nothing fills my heart with joy more than an old skool orc champion with bright yellow armor, brandishing a giant axe over his head like a maniac. Wonderful work! I can't wait to paint some classic, and classic looking orcs myself soon!
Fantastic Video! Really nice work in both the painting and the production.
Thank you I appreciate it RC
At first i was its ok for an old miniature, but then you add your creative magic!!
And i have to say the old Ork has a lot more Character to him!!
Always loved this model and you did it proud. The McVey version in the 90's was something of my Mona Lisa as a young teen.
sweet a older Orc mini got painted. love the old sculpts and artwork.
Thanks Matt!
This video makes my oldhammer heart warm.❤
Alex this was a fun, fond memory of GW when they didnt actively hate their customers. Thank you!!
#90'sMemories
The Hobbit was the first book my Dad ever read to me. Will always have a special place in my heart.
For some reason this video made me realize how much I enjoy your videos! I don’t even like old world but going on a painting journey with you every couple weeks is something I really look forward to! I heard you talking about how poorly this video preformed on one of your live stream so hopefully becoming a new patron on patreon will help you remember that even if a video doesn’t “preform” we still appreciate you Mr. Alex! Cheers from America! 🎉
Thank you Jess I appreciate your thoughts and thank you for supporting on the Patreon. It means a lot!
Lovely video of course, Alex - so much love goes into them, it's obvious!
One tip to avoid paint explosions - after shaking a pot of paint, I hold it upside down and give the paint a solid shake, down towards the nozzle. Then when I open it the paint is right there at the business end, often only needing a touch on the wet palette to deliver the minimum amount of paint required.
Works for me (works with ketchup and shampoo, too).
Congratulations on the quality of the vidéo. The lighting the color grading. The voice over. The angles the informations. Everything is top tier 👏👏👏
I appreciate it Souleyman
I had forgotten this champion, though it was a conversion from the old metal bloodbowl orc team at first glance, identical pose to the lineman! Mega nostalgic!
Hoo the Humbrol disaster... ended my painting fast at 12ish... happy I found gw at university. And now we re here 😂❤
Alex painting orc makes me very happy 🙂
Me too Stretch!
i break out retro minis now and them. for me its 90's space marines. they are fun projects to keep your creativity up. that orc looks great, it looks like you enjoyed it :)
I did have a lot of fun Zab, thanks
Saffron yellow is the best color for an ork. I played with using Dark Jade to shade the muscles and worked lighter using heavy blue grey and stone grey - I let the painting dictate the journey and the destination is one of my favorite orks but certainly not what I thought I was doing
Indeed Ramirez, I like how the yellow worked out. I mean, if I had the time and the will and ever wanted to work on a larger group of orcs I'd want to paint them one by one with different paints.
Lovely paintjob as usual, Alex! It's so cool to see an old mini get this much love and attention... Also, definitely adding 'puddle of distress' to my list of stock phrases.
I absolutely agree (regarding book vs films). Andy Serkis does a masterful narration!
Old orc definitely for the win!
I am totally with you on these old sculpts. I recently painted the 2006 dwarf king with the feathered helmet and I can't remember having so much fun painting a model. Sure, it's not from the 90s but it was still handsculpted and full of character. Really can't put my finger on what it is exactly that these models have that the newer ones don't. Maybe in the end it's just nostalgia, but I think there's more :)
Loved the in depth analysis of the painting process. Sooner or later I'll get that poor little boss on a boar i never finished when i was a kid another happier life!
I love how your painting style looks on old models Alex, that orc is gorgeous 🤩 Please do more from your "memory box" - I've "upcycled" some 80s models for Rangers of Shadow Deep and they are loads of fun to paint with new paints and techniques 👍
Nice to see an old school orc for some variety. I don't miss the Humbrol enamels though, neither does my mums kitchen table. nothing a little sanding from my dad couldn't fix. Good times!
I so enjoyed this!! You put across my history of Warhammer Fantasy and the nostalgia for the minis, I'm 58 this year. You probably won't see this comment, but thanks for the smiles as I watched this video with fondness for the mini you were painting. 👍👍Subbed.👍👍😉
I see all the comments, like something out of a Orwell book :) I appreciate it and welcome to the channel.
That is how I did my ork skin, I finished off with doing all white, like they're in a black metal band, and had some green showing, like chipped armor. Also did the lips the same.
I really like the fact, that all your minis look like you painted it. Not a copy of someone else, not trying to fit in with the 'usual' style nowadays. Even your retro style here screams "I'm painted by Alex WAAAGH! BEHOLD THE MIGHTY ORK!"
I really enjoy this.
Well thank you, I feel like that is a compliment :)
It is!
10/10
I am actually surprised at how good it looks. Just shows how good those old sculpts were and how far modern miniature painting has progressed.
I found one of these with a spikey ball and chian over his head. Your recipes are giving me some inspiration. I may go a little redder.
After all. "Da RedUns Go Fasta!"
nice ork 👍
Thank you Johnny!
I always take a picture of my finished mini with all the paints used. Great reference to have for later.
Pretty smart stuff W!
For much of my childhood and adolescence, I played Warhammer Fantasy (it was almost a religion here in Spain, it is very difficult for me to assume that in the rest of the world 40K was more popular), Mordheim, 40K, LOTR and in general anything from Games Workshop. At the first half of my twenties, I stayed away from miniatures completely. Now, at 33, I've gotten interested in some games again and I'm surprised how much has changed for the better. When I was young, I didn't consider playing anything that wasn't from Games Workshop and now my favorite game is Carnevale. I'm putting together crazy Dark Soul-inspired bands for Frostgrave and trying to create scenery to match. But the biggest difference is that before we didn't have TH-cam or social networks! This is one of the channels that I have watched and liked the most in recent months, although I have never commented on it. It's great to see people from other parts of the world enjoying this great hobby.
Nice ork guy btw, looks like he's having a great time! :)
Thank you for writing Fran, I’m glad to hear you’ve liked the content. I have a few Patrons into Carnevale and it seems like a fun game. You’re quite right, there’s a lot of games out there and more creators working on their own thing showcasing what inspires them. There is a massive GW following and thus it’s “easier” to make videos with that content, often guaranteeing double the views. So it’s a bit of an effort not doing it. So I appreciate when people like you write and let me know it’s appreciated
I love orks.
I love Alex's tutorials.
I loved this video.
Lovely!
The colour depth of the yellow really looks cool with that combination of grey-blue and purple! And like you, using purple as a shade colour across a whole piece is something I adore - hasn't failed me yet!
Thank you man!
Nice job. It's nostalgic journey... Thank you!
Looks very good. Sounds very good. Smells fine
I adore the nonchalant or cavalier attitude towards the brand of the paint. Anything will do as long as the paint is nice enough and the color suitable.
This is totally something that I validate and it brings nice results, in comparison for the will to stick absolutely to the letter to one color or brand specifically.
I think we get a little brainwashed because of what is widely seen - ie TH-cam. It’s deemed more approachable to use what is at the hands of most painter on the other side of the screen. So that means Citadel mainly. But it would be great if we could aproach things more in a manner of colour and not brand.
@@52Miniatures Oh, but I totally validate this eclectic approach. I get that quite a lot of people want to absolutely adhere to a very precise color scheme, with the exact paint used.
For my own part, I prefer to see the painting in term of color, like you do. Yellow is yellow, whatever the brand, after all.
Anyway, as someone close to your age and w&y of thinking, I always very appreciate your videos, especially when you open a bit to side consideration, sources of inspiration, etc.
@@klug5916 Thank you Klug!
Ah OldHammer... whilst I never got into it back then due to being way too young... those minis always manage to put a smile on my face for how cartoony it was back then. Especially with all the bright colours. Awesome video as always Alex ^^ Been enjoying painting a lot whilst having some of the videos I missed on in the back or just rewatching some of my favourites from the channel.
Thanks Aleria. There is indeed some great old charachterful sculpts amoung all that old stuff.
Love how you've been splicing in literary suggestions. This has been fantastic. Hope there are more projects from the box in future. /Clyde/
Thank you humbly for the donation C, I'm a bit late to the ball here but I truly appreciate your support. I'm enjoying sneaking in the book recommendations :)
GREAT PAINTJOB AGAIN
Thank you J!
Ohhh wow!!!!! I love your painting but I particularly love how you tell a story. Your voice is perfect for narration, the actual content is smart and funny, it’s the total package. Thank you for the tips about the lips, I will certainly use it!
I appreciate it TB, thank you.
Inspired paint job Alex, loved the last few videos
Great to hear Benjamin, thank you I appreciate it.
Great video, and a brilliant model - there's a certain kind of charm about old 80s/90s warhammer minis. Sculpts that aren't as technically brilliant, perhaps, as modern sculpts, but that just ooze character.
For me it's the perfect Orkboss. A nice color scheme as well 🙂
Thank you T!
Old orc for the win!!!!!
Hi Alex. Thanks for pointing out your age. You've now firmly placed me in the category of ancient relic or fossil 😁 The orc looks great and the narration, as always, very entertaining. 🗡️ 👍
Hah! I mean, there's some very rare and sought after fossils out there.
amazing paint job! and I really liked the voiceover on this one.
We missed you, Alex. I missed such great tutorials. Your painting job, your narrative, and your pace are ASMR. Congratulations for such a great ork.
Thats absolutely amazing
Thank you Alex this is brilliant and hey, I’m a grumpy old man too! I am definitely fitting yellow into my next crop of minis. Thanks to your last couple of videos.
Thanks as always man!
Hi, mate. New subscriber here.
I’m an older painter too. I’m 41 and started painting when I was 9, a plastic Night Goblin Archer.
Without being too big headed I consider myself a very good painter with a lot of skill and creativity and I just wanted to say I absolutely love your style.
Those high contrast gradients and the multiple colours used to add vibrancy and interest are beautiful. It’s a technique I use occasionally (I tend to paint my models in the style which reflects the miniature, setting, and background), and your style has totally inspired me to paint a bunch of miniatures from my pile of shame in this style.
Well done mate, and I hope you get to make a salary off your work.
Welcome to the channel NF, thank you for the kind words I appreciate it.
That yellow is amazing!
Thank you!
Hi Alex, I do remember good old Humbrol enamels, I used them for many years, many of my old 54mm minis are painted with Humbrol enamels, what a remembrance, I liked a lot your technique for build up that yellow, always a pleasure to watch you work, thanks
Thanks T. Indeed all my first paint jobs where Humbrol only. Then there was a period of mix and match and finally probably only GW acrylics. That was when washes where introduced to my life and it was quite the revelation :)
I love your content,
Old irks for the win
Lovely painted orc!
Definitely old Ork for the win! 💥👍
For sure!!
Love your videos. Fun look back at a fun old metal mini
Turned out great.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Thanks for sharing your journey
Thank you as always Mark
Another colourful masterclass.
Orks are a personal favourite. Wonderful to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a delightfully produced video. I have the original Warhammer Quest and expansions in my todo next list - this is perfect for that! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah! I agree! It does look better and we are grumpy old men!
GOM FTW!
I prefer Senile Old Gits, as the acronym 'S.O.G.' looks cooler.
S.O.G.s Rool

That is a gorgeous orc! I've been painting mine much quicker than you did on this one, but seeing your slower process is definitely motivational. I'll have to set some time aside to just do a single mini
Make Orks great again! Okay okay, they've always been great, but they've definitely lost the goofy fun that used to define them. I love seeing your videos in my feed!
Couldn't agree more D
Whenever I am getting tired of paintig, your calm approach does the trick. Half a video later, and I am again all in!
Thanks
Lovely to hear, thank you.
Lovely orc and video sir, thanks for sharing your art.
Nice to have another channel giving goodness to oldhammer models.
Awesome video, as always!
They really put the joy back into the hobby for me.
Thank you C
"My pile of shame is more of a puddle of distress."
This is too funny.
Amazing job bringing this old school ork back to life with your deft touches!
Such a relaxing commentary. Thanks!
Thanks Marcin
no smoothness. outdated mini. but looking amazing. thank you Alex. you are inspiring
Thanks for another wonderful video Alex! I really love how the mini turned out, and I'm definitely going to give that yellow and copper a try on something! 💜
Thank you Luke, great to hear :)
A thing about the pose is that 2-dimensional poses were a lot safer to cast in metal- removing them from 2-part moulds was simpler (less fiddly bits to get caught in an overhang) but also with the detail facing downwards or upwards into the surface of the mould, you got better results. A lot like light and shadow with only one or two light sources, I imagine. With more complex manufacturing came more complex options and more complex poses.
Indeed very true!
Old orc for the win
Brilliant content as always. I love the variety of different focuses each time.
Much appreciated!
Excellent video, Alex. Very much up my allez. So more, from the box please.
Old ork most defenitely for the win (said another semiold, semigrumpy man). Also, applause for the “whatever looks cool approach”. The best approach in my book also!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve got the same orc mini (had it since new) and the same edition of The Hobbit (it was my late father’s). Great minds think alike 😂
Great minds! I believe this is my dads old copy as well.
Loving the yellow pop on this and recent models. lovely contrast.
Was I watching Alex channeling Quentin Tarantino? I swear there was light emanating from that box? Cool video of course.
The magic glow of miniatures Mark! :)
Bravo Alex, love it!
Looks amazing. Great job. 😎👍
Nice one Alex! i love me some Oldhammer! 💚
Thanks C!
great sentimental job.
Love the little book reviews!
Glad you like them, trying to sneak them in as the straight up book recommendation videos didn't work out great for the channel.
No! Please! We don't need more people driving up the already outrageous prices on eBay!
Seriously though, this is a fantastic paint job, worthy of the sculpt. Loved the video!
I'm sticking to my box, fortunately of limits from Ebay :) Thanks PM
Damn, that looks gooooooooooooood!!!
Looks fantastic as always Alex.
I need to try and be more accepting of brush strokes, because its a style I'm liking more and more.
lovely
Just got a combat patrol box of orks and Alex posts a video of orks, spooky but a fun video.
Great stuff Isi!
If you look for old greenskin armybook you can find very good pdf scans in the web of every page you are interested. Great work, i also love minis that emerged when they were just my dream to have (years 95-96) and have few of i managed to own with no plan of paint strip but this new orc boss is really cool. Give him chance, its perfect personification of Grimgor Ironhide!
Thanks Im!
Love your videos Alex! Always so interesting and relaxing! Thank you for all you do brother! :)
My pleasure and thank you.
