Spellcasters, i.e. Shamans, in the Orcish "society" are a paradox. They rarely fight on the front line, hacking at the enemies of their race and shouting at them. They are also often considered by their kin to be physically "weaker" than the warriors (of course, this is wrong).
But they are highly respected, or at least feared. Their spells can kill dozens of enemies at the same time. Even the strongest Orc warlord cannot rival with that. They can boost the already high Orcs' appetite for destruction and invoke terrible undead and daemonic beings.
Some Shamans even lead their own tribes, such as Radzog in the Doomstones Campaign (WFRP) who is a very powerful spellcasterr leading the Bloodaxe Alliance, a huge horde of Greenskins.
The one I painted for my O&G army is a 4th or 5th edition mini (I guess). I like everything about this mini: his huge bone staff, his posture, his ragged clothes and I wanted to paint him for a long time. This is now done.
