Warmaster 10mm Discovery diorama Close Up pics

I've been wanting to do a small scale (the minis are around 10mm) warmaster diorama for a while now and I finally got inspired and did one. The idea is that a band of orcs have been shipwrecked and started living in a series of caves in a mountainous area. The shaman that leads them is performing a rite in honour of the orc gods Gork and Mork, this has attracted the attention of the High Elves, hence Discovery! Painting something so small was a challange, but heaps of fun. I used GW paints, including many of the foundation paints to get more earthy colours. I tried to get some diffrent tones in the minis, the orc skin has browns and yellows in it, with purpleish lips and the goblins have red noses. The rocks are 'shaded' with a variety of brown and dark green pastels. All metals are done with metallic paints, but I tried to get some shading in there as well, this came out particularly well on the drummer orc I think. The cave goes all the way through to the back, where we can see the Shamans pet squig Fang lurking about.

Really great work on itty-bitty guys. I almost thought these were 28mm when I saw them. The orks look fantastic.
