Orc Totem & Ritual Rock - Season of Scenery

My last entries for this year's edition of Dave's Season of Scenery challenge are these two terrain pieces from Polish manufacturer Mini Monsters. The model on the left is an Orc Totem (quite similar to the old one by ForgeWorld), the one on the right is an Orc Ritual Rock. The Ritual Rock makes for a great Idol of Gork (or Mork), it looks like it could become animated anytime and wreak havoc as a Rogue Idol.

Painting was a lot of fun, like scenery always is. I worked a lot with drybrushing and washes, the red and white colours on the totem and idol head were applied with a sponge to achieve an irregular pattern that makes it seem like they were painted by orcs or goblins. The flames inside the Ritual Rock were painted white, followed by Striking Scorpion Green Contrast paint to resemble Waaagh!-Energy.

 After applying the usual Dirty Down rust and moss as well as Vallejo lichen effect paints, I added some tiny tufts to make the rocks look even more natural.
The models were easy to assemble and the quality of the casting is great. One thing that seems a bit off however is the scale of the skulls - they look like they are from humans, but are way too large for that. I guess in a fantasy setting that's not a huge problem, since there are lots of other humanoids around, maybe they're ogre skulls.
