Back from their sell out tour of Rynn's world, Snagrond promotions are proud to announce a new tour for Orkwind. Long tome singer Dave Brork is in fine form
I have a drummer to add. And of course a miniature for their long time dancer Stakka Dakka Dakka ( or Stakka Double D to her fans)

They look great. Not sure I'm ready to see Stakka Double D though. :o

You just made my day! Now I am partial to a bit of Motorhead, but Hawkwind will always be my favourite band that had Lemmy in it. I'd love to see an Orkish Lemmy! :)

Around 1990 GW released those as Goffik Rockers. Somehow, I can't see the current grimdark corporate GW releasing something like this. There was even a grot playing a Squagpipe, which sadly I don't own. Perhaps one for a Space Ork K(h)orn tribute act
-
took a while but here is Stakka - this one is safe for work and a drummer for the band. No synth drum kit here, just a good fashioned analogue drum set

Hawkwind all the way! I first saw them when I was about 13. Blew my mind, though to be fair, probably not as much as their minds were blown at the time lol
Fab work George. :-* :-* :-*
Are they late 80's/early 90's GW?

The Orks with guitars catalogued were released in 1991 sculpted by Kev Adams; they are shown in the "red" catalogue. The Stakka figure is an Orc Blood Bowl cheerleader( I also have a goblin and a Dwarf cheerleader)
The drummer is from the early 90's, another Kev Adams sculpt.
I have yet to see a Saxophonist or keyboard player or even a bassist ( the guitars have 6 strings I counted) so this project is kind of finished.
At about the same time, they released a range of Orks known as the Madboyz , some of these are in poses witch I recognise from some of the mosh pits I observed in my youth

Shame about the lack of sax. An Orkish Nik Turner would have been cool. Saw him as a solo artist a few times in the late 80s or early 90s, as well as Hawkwind themselves. My nephew turned up with a surprise present for me a couple of years ago after he had been to a gig. It's a crumpled piece of paper, and on it is scrawled:
'Best wishes, stay high. Nik Turner.'
I only own three autographs. The other two are Stephen Fry and George MacDonald Fraser. Oddly, neither of them wrote anything about getting or staying high, so I am wondering if it is actually good advice. :)

Foundry have some Prussians with, what appear to be a sxaophone, perhaps it may be possible to cut it and then swap it with an orc blowing a horn or trumpet; assuming that they compatible.
I do have an old white dwarf which showed an ork playing a saxophone, in the pages of Tabletop Heroes ( which predated Blanchistu) , so it is not impossible but not for me
I too have a signed Nik Turner - Some years ago I found a copy of an album called Nik turner's Sphinx in a charity shop. I took a punt on it being by thee Nik Turner and sure enough it was this oddity
https://www.discogs.com/Nik-Turners-Sphynx-Xitintoday/release/1512644
The inlay book is signed and dedicated to a previous owner of the record. The record itself comprises recitations from the Egyptian Book of the Dead put through various delay effects and studio manipulation , Nik Turner then provides sax and flute accompaniments with some electronica provided. Oh, and it was recorded in the Great Pyramid. I have an image of Nik Turner having to pay out a hefty baksheesh to be allowed put mobile recording equipment in the pyramid. Despite such a portentous premise, the album is tedious and almost unlistenable. It is not a Hawkwind/Hawlords.Space Ritual style affair. Still, all being said, I like owning it
