These are two Legionnaires from Black Orc Games' Hundred Kingdoms game, which (like the giant gor are from the Simian Legion faction, a Romanesque nation of intelligent apes.
    They're well-sculpted, with very little flash or seam lines, cast in one piece, and almost no work getting them paint-ready. I glued each to a large washer and used greenstuff to smooth out the transition between the minis' included bases and the flat washers.
    Each is a good-sized mini, about the size of an ogre standing fully upright. Both have the same color scheme. Clothing is deep green drybrushed with a gray-green (Reaper's Troll Flesh). Fur is Walnut drybrushed with Woodland Brown, with the fur on the front side given a very light drybrush of Hill Giant Brown to make the front (and especially the face) stand out a little better. Armor, sword, and shield are Steel Plate drybrushed with Truesilver. Teeth are Ivory brushed with Linen White. Gold details on the shield are Bright Gold with a little Brass over it. The base is black, flocked with -- get this -- poppy seeds (they're lighter, and finer, than gravel, and I like the variety of color in the seeds compared to the almost-uniform coloration of gravel) that I bought at my local natural foods store (Henry's, if you want specifics).

I used these minis in an adventure I wrote published in Dungeon issue #120.
