WarbossKurgan's Orc Pirates

I am speechless! They are great. They will be well taken care of and will be playing Death Squads. Yes, they are a bit unique for 40K but they will represent my Ork "Boardin" Pirates.

They take after the Dark Eldar after their Captain (Da Big One) was captured by the Dark Eldar as a slave and test subject. He later escaped but not before coming to appreciate the Dark Eldar tactics and applying them for his crew.

Kap'n SandBank and his coxswain Zogger are ordered by Kommodore Deffgit to return to the fleet and take a fast sloop the the New World:



They hurry to the quayside:



Along the pier:



And with not-a-minute-to-lose they board the Hogwasha:





Farewell mates! May the wind be always at ye back and yer powder be always dry!

Nothing but Green Goodness to be expected from you every single time.

BON VOYAGE!

*sniff*

That makes me all teary. *waves a white hankerchief*

Are these the guys for DaBank! YEAY!!! I will do my VERY best to kidnap the bastards before they arrive to their proper owner! HA!

In all honesty... I can't wait to see them up close... I'm watery eyed already! ARRRRGHHH!

Yea!!!!!

Whalebelly, the Ogre Bodyguard:

Really cool and great name.

Haha nice! I really like all the tattoos!

WELL BLOW ME DOWN! Thar be a fine crew ye got thar admiral! I don't even like orcs, but i'd play those suckers in a heart beat. Also not a fan of the ogre kingdom ogres, but i like what you did with that one. Keep um comin!

ANOTHER FINE ADDITION to the Fleet! He has all the necessary assets of a PROPER Pirate...actually its a LACK of certain items that make it; missing eye, hand, & leg. You could have called him Lucky...Moby would have been another possibility, but Whalebelly has a nice ring to it. WELL DONE, Yer Adm'rulship!

Haha, that bodyguard is awesome.

Again, not an Orc exactly...

Right at the end of the Dark Waters Luncheim campaign I hired a Warlock for my Orc Pirates, to boost their Warband Rating. It felt wrong to do this without a model to represent him so, even though I didn't get to use him in the campaign, here he is:

Meet Mattius Caboteur the (slightly) piratey Warlock:

Wow ! Consider this idea stolen !

Looks to be suffering from Miscast Migraine. VERY COOL & DIFFERENT take on the Warlock...nice mix of Wizard & Pirate paraphenalia. You'll have to get back to Vercuso so he can strut his stuff. WELL DONE!

Haha, looks like his head is about to go POP! Maybe he's learned a little too much from his orky employers...

The "Serpent-Dragon of Twilight Aspect" pirates

This is my new Mordheim warband for the Animosity 4 campaign, set in Cathay.

The Gloomwyrm
Also known by it’s Cathayan name the Serpent-Dragon of Twilight Aspect, the Gloomwyrm is a Cathayan Orc Pirate Junk commanded by Captain Mung-Qi and festooned with dragon-muzzled cannon. The Gloomwyrms are a fierce band of cutthroats and villains who joined the Ironfang Pirates willingly when they first saw the size of the fleet.





Mung-Qi (Orc Boss)
Arrogant, boastful and conceited he calls himself “The great Orc Pirate Warlord Mung-Qi, equal of Gork and Mork, Captain of the Gloomwyrm Pirate Junk, scourge of the eastern seas” but most people find that a bit long-winded and pompous and just call him Mung-Qi. He wields a great two-handed iron cudgel, stolen from the treasure-horde of a sea dragon. Mung-Qi doesn’t know it but the metal staff is forged from meteoric iron, and as a result it is almost unbreakable and slightly magical. He also wears what he thought was the legendary Crown of Command, but he was duped into putting it on by his Shaman and it is not what he claimed it to be. The golden circlet looks impressive but Mung-Qi would remove it if only he could.







Tricky-Tarka (Orc Shaman)
Sly, secretive and deceitful, even by Orc Shaman standards, Tricky-Tarka has final say in all the decisions the Mung-Qi and the Gloomwyrms make – all he has to do if he doesn’t get his way is recite a secret spell and the “Crown of Command” shrinks slightly and causes Mung-Qi unbearable pain! The Shaman is searching Cathay for the Scrolls of Mork and is using the pirates for his own ends.





Xan-Dee (Orc Big'Un)
In his former life as a river pirate Xan-Dee developed a taste for human flesh and he still wears several skulls hung from his cloths and lank hair. The Gloomwyrm was attacked by his small band of river pirates when it ventured up-river many years ago but Xan-Dee’s crew were swiftly overcome and killed. Xan-Dee was impressed by the ferocity of the Gloomwyrms and joined them immediately.







Pig-Xi (Orc Big'Un)
Once a Boar-herder for a northern tribe of nomadic Orcs, Pig-Xi got fed-up with the constant abuse of the rest of the tribe and the relentless biting from the boars. With a very large bag of supplies packed he left the camp in the dead of night when the tribe stopped near a coastal port. He joined the Gloomwyrm’s crew when he heard they were sailing at dawn. He is easily distracted by food and drink and enjoys little in life more than eating.

Whack!
again such a great warband ! how do you keep it up?

if you ever plan on sending of another warband, I'm volunteering !

The nature of Mung-Qi is irrepressible!

Woo! I was watching Monkey last night on DVD. Great stuff.

I think Xan-Dee is my favourite, there's just something awesome about his pose.

AH SO, the inscrutable Orcs of the Mysterious East...Masters of the Ancient Art of Mork or possibly Gork Fu. OH BABY! That's SO COOL!...I rather like the new Lads.

Thanks chaps!

The henchmen are going to be in a red and black colour scheme, while the heroes will be in colour scheme that is a hybrid of the Monkey TV show and Jamie Hewlett's Monkey: Journey to the West illustrations.

I just undercoated them - painting begins tomorrow!

Again, great work! This is a great theme.

What set is that bag with the skull and bones sticking out of it from? I see it on your Ogre and these new Orcs.
