there's a nice uniformity in the ranks of troops, as shown in that first photo. I like how you've painted the flag as well.

I think they are a mix of FO6 and FO7 on the rather legless boars.

Tolkien calls them swarthy or sallow, the Uruks are Darker.

So I paint mine

Goblins Yellow-brown- leather brown
Orcs slichtly darker
Uruks - Negro flesh

THe reason the GW orcs are green is that when they first produced them and painted them as per Tolkien, the Tolkien familly were quite protective and insular and threatened to sue them.  So they changed the colour.

Urban Myth??

They're not so much legless as rather stretched forward and back in a pre-photography gallopinghorse pose  :-/
