Kaptain AmerORKa and the AvengeORKS

Last month there was a lot of buzz in Morkchester - one of the older back streets was being used as a films set! The buildings were all dressed as 1940s New York, with posters, mailboxes, fire hydrants, shop-fronts, street lights and signs. 1940s American cars, taxis, trucks and bikes rolled up and down the street. Extras dress in 40s clothes lingered on corners looking cold and chatted in groups out-of-shot clutching hot drinks and plates of food.

Every so often a blonde man in a vest ran full-pelt down the street - chasing a speeding swerving yellow cab. Crowds of people crained their necks to get a glimps and many (myself included) got repeatedly ticked-off by security guards for taking photos.

Captain America: The First Avenger was in Manchester for a month, filming some of the origin story. All this super-hero frenzy in town started my Orky brain going and this bit of frippery is the result. I'll be using him as a Nob in my Blood Axe Ork army, (if I every get round to playing 40K again!)

Hope you like it!











I'll post some WIP shots of the (quite small amount of) Greenstuff work later on today.

...LOVE IT! There's no end of different inappropriate roles that can be filled by Orc(k)s & Goblins. ..I did up Wyatt Orc for Neighbor Tom. Using the Tau Drone Thingy for a shield is an inspired idea...sort of. GREAT STUFF!

Thanks Deaf!

As promised: the GS work...

Amazing! Nice work!

DUDE!!! You went CRAZY on this model! 10 out of 10! AMAZING WORK!!!! PLEASE... if you can, visit the Death Squads forum ( www.DeathSquadsGame.com ) and post your pics. I know everyone will enjoy it!

Heheheh... I could NOT resist myself...

Thanks Mordheimer - that's brilliant!
I've posted on Death Squads.

Not as brilliant Kaptain AmerORKa!!!!

I will go and check, Death Squads... THANKS!!

love it, have you saw that Green Goblin model?

Oh my, that is excellent! I think the teeny wings tipped me over the edge, and Mordheimer great demotivational poster

I love it...Banna is a real Hulk! GREAT minis & WONDERFUL names as usual!

Great work! I thought about doing the same thing to my Ogre Kingdoms army, but I did not.

Absolutely LOVE these guys! A Black Widow Ork might be pushing it, but it'd be fun to see nonetheless!

Thanks chaps!

Accompanying Kaptain AmerORKa on some missions behind enemy lines:

The Howling Kommandoz





Featuring...

Bukky









Munty









and Dum-Dum

VERY COOL STUFF! Dum-Dum's Derby is a winner. Seeing these Guys all painted up gives me a reason to get up in the morning...along with one or two more mundane tasks.

I will be watching this thread pretty regularly to see them painted up! NICE work.

The next AvengeORK is finished:

Banna

"You got a condition son!" I like him!

More great work. Love them. Can't wait to see the others painted up along with the rest of the Avengers done.

Just great!

that is some truly hilarious stuff! You got a talent for twisting pop figures into orks! Well done

As much fun as Kaptain AmerOrka is I felt compelled to make a slightly more "WH40K / WW2" looking version - based on this gear from the First Avenger movie:



So this is Kaptain Rogerz:









Dum-Dum, Rogerz, Bukky and Munty:

You nailed, Saul; the Kaptain really looks the part. The conversion is OUTSTANDING & that is the best paint job I've seen you do in awhile. VERY WELL DONE!
