WarbossKurgan's Orc Pirates

VERY COOL! The Troll reminds me of Yoda; the long coat & hand swaps REALLY make the mini. The Gretchin heads threw me;i.e., I couldn't figure out why I didn't recognize them...we Old Guys are easly confused.

Droo-Ling the Troll is finished.

(Goblins next!)

Just in time for the Mordheim day tomorrow, Eastern Pirate Goblins:

HOORAY the Flame On madness starts again!
The Troll painted up FANTASTIC! Of course, the Goblins are the BEST of the lot...probably why you did them last other than the useless thingy. VERY WELL DONE...as always!

Did I ever Mention how awesome it is that you made Mung-Qi after Monkey?

Journey to the West! Woo!

I surfed this topic some weeks ago.
Your conversions are very interesting. Very good putty work.

Now I am registered can ask you: How many Orcs warbands have you done? Or are you doing a complete warhammer army?

Thanks guys!

I have about 3,000 points of Warhammer Orcs and Goblins now, but I have made four Orc and Goblin Mordheim warbands - Fishmen (Orc Pirates disguised as Fish-monsters), Ogresuns (Orc Pirates), Gloomwyrms (Cathayan Orc Pirates) and the Geheimnisnacht Boyz (Halloween-themed Orcs).

OK understood
Thanks for your quick answer

After much prevarication and distraction, yesterday I finally got round to starting one of my plastic Giants!

I didn't really like the "arms akimbo" poses that the kit comes with so I've cut and re-positioned the shoulder-joints to look a little more passive, you could even say maudlin... He kind-of looks like he's suffering from belly-ache! (Too much rum maybe?)

And today I started the Greenstuff work:



The big gun is actually Playmobil!









The wrist joint needed a bit of filling as I chose to attached the hand at an angle.

Looking really cool! I love your playmobile-pistol too! I guess it's cheaper than buying a Cannon and making it into a one too

VERY COOL...as always. He looks a bit like Hulk Hogan...LOVE the bandana. I hope the gastric distress isn't gas...could have an adverse effect on the environment. I can't wait to see the Big Guy all painted up...keep up the GOOD WORK!

It's funny 'cause it's true!!!



great work on those orcs!

Only a little progress since last time... Here's the gun's rigging:



I haven't added any extra baggage as I haven't found anything in my bitz box that looked quite right.



I have finished the rocks though:

By god your a orc genius but i do have just a couple of questions.

1.Do you just play mordheim or use them in WHFB too.
2.How long you been playing.
3. Any advice for a young greenskin.

One last thing, its the tiny thing like the repositioned arms the bandana and the pistol the give the model so much character, it's just awsome.

Doc

What about giving that giant some "boulders in his thong?" Anything brave enough to pal around with all these orc pirates has got some huge "stones."

1. Yes, I play Warhammer and Mordheim with Pirate Orcs. (Not much call for Giants in Mordheim! )
2. I started playing Warhammer during the 2nd edition in 1984!
3. Just have fun with them!

Thanks very much! Just what I was hoping.

Trust me, this model needs no augmentation in that department!

More Gloomwyrms (eastern pirate Orcs) on the way:

VERY COOL ADDITIONS! The bottom Lad is executing the FAMOUS "Sword!? What sword?" move. Keep'em coming, Adm'rul Sir!

So inspiring...

I must say, the names you come up with are always so amusing.

Mung-Qi was killed and zombiefied last week but as I can't imagine the Gloomwyrms without him I'm making an Orc Boy to add to the warband who is Mung-Qi reincarnated. I'll hope like hell for Ladz Got Talent for him and replace the Boy with the original Mung-Qi Boss-model.

Anyhoo... meet Yung-Qi:

Wow, the side beard, love it!

I agree the sideburns/mutton chops make the mini...that & the Bamboo Whackin' Stick from HELL! VERY COOL MINI!

What green s are you using for your Orcs? Is that mostly a layering up technique?
