WarbossKurgan's Orc Pirates

VERY NICELY DONE! The turban is OUTSTANDING & you've developed a real flair for freehand work...the tattoos & patterns on the cloth make the piece something special.

The sash! The trousers! The tatoos!

I also really like the sand dune quality of the cloth in the background...

Sweet model! I love the patterns and the tattoo and stuff, but is this guy sunburnt? Looks pretty awesome, one of the funniest ideas I have seen in a long time He should have taken his time to adjust a little to the hot desert sun before chopping heads off half naked.

I love the finished ogre!

Something that strangely caught my eye was the details on the gut plate, I really dig it!
Keep it up Kurgan!

The ogre looks great. I imagine he needed more work to finish it nicely, but the effect is awesome. More freehands please!

Thankyou very much, kind lady and gentlemen!

I've finished another Sea Troll. This one's a bit fish-obsessed:









Here's the unit of 6:

PRETTY COOL! I really like the Guy with the Crab's Claw in the rear rank. WELL DONE!

Awesome work! You are my hero if you've sculpted those fish. I had a hell of a time sculpting two fish for my fishmonger's shop...

Great looking unit as well!

Joao

Thanks guys!

I have sculpted a lot of fish now! Probably almost as many fish as bandannas!

You are my hero, then!

How did you come up with those? Did you follow any specific design?

Joao

I started making fish back in 2006! Kap'n Hadduk and the Halibuteers

I didn't follow a design as such but I did spend a lot of time looking at real fish while I was making the Halibuteers.

Thanks for the link! Those look great too.

"I started making fish back in 2006!"

This is one of those rare occasions where you can safely say that without sounding weird.

Woot! Have we seen the guy with the crab claw before? Did I miss an update or just forget?

Do people target the troll with the name in games? Are the other trolls jealous?

come fishy fishy, great job meister ork!

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, he killed Mr. Krabs!!!

See page 20 of this blog

Trollumbus and the Wreckers are normally stood around at the back acting stupid, so they don't get shot at much.

I would have been the first person to comment on the crab claw when you first posted it. Only 3 pages ago... So I forgot, then. Well, still a job well done. Carry on.

Another WIP Chimera: this time the musician. I started out trying to think of a way to make an Orcy snake charmer - this naturally led to making a "Squig Charmer"!

Chama









Want a Turkish Delight little Squiggy?

Of course Squiggy wants a Turkish delight. He also wants the hand, parts of the arm, and if I interpret the look in his eyes correctly also the hat of the charmer. As always, excellent work! One can be sure that every time one visits this thread there is some new wonder to gawk at. Marvellous!

How sweet - and you don't hear me saying that very often...

Joao

The last four Chimeras are built:



Old Murrat









Shaka the Standard Bearer







Haddar the slaver









(Sorry some of the pics are blurry. It's too late to re-shoot now as they are all undercoated)

Excellent work on the new ladz. Looking forward to the painted versions.

I'm absolutely loving these.

Well it took a while but I made it through 23 pages of Orcy goodness relatively unscathed.

I have to say this is the best collection of greenskins I have ever seen! I can only imagine what they look like on the table together.

I'm not really a fan of the greenies myself however this thread is enough for even me to pay attention. Your greenstuff moulding is superb and I love your paint style.

The aspect that caught my eye the most are the different cultural ideas. I do have a suggestion actually, I'm not sure how well it'd work but have you considered Norse Orcs? (Or norcs I don't care if no-one else finds that funny)
Horned helmets, furs and the like?

Also where do you get your bits from? Your cannon for example, as far as I can tell it's made from pieces of three different, large and expensive models. Do you buy just the pieces you need or the entire thing?

Thanks guys! The last 4 Chimeras are mid-paint and won't be long.

I don't buy whole kits for one or two bits but I do buy whole kits when I can see the massive number of possiblities they contain. I also use bits sellers and eBay and swap stuff with friends a lot.

I won't be doing Norse Orcs as Zelophahad is working on a whole Warhammer army with that theme! :p

Fair enough.

Are there any bits websites that you'd recommend?
Most that I've seen have very limited selections/stock
