Kev Adams Ork Pirates [KICKSTARTER]
« on: November 27, 2023, 10:08:54 AM »

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2004599158/orc-space-pirates?ref=project_build

Since I was a kid I have been collecting classic British sci-fi miniatures and have always been tempted to sculpt some of my own for my main range - Meridian Miniatures. When however, the chance came up to work with the legend that is Kevin Adams on a new project (Dubbed Renegade 83) I jumped at the chance.

So here I am with the first instalment of greenskinned, freebooting space pirates.









Also a special shout out to Fogou Models for these brilliant buildings that Painted to display the minis.

Hope you like them, Cheers!

Ooooh! The do look good.
Assuming this Kickstarter is a success, do I take it that there are plans for more orks in the future? It would be great to get 'proper' orks again!

How do they scale with the old RT guys?  They look quite big compared to the original space ork raiders if their overhang of the bases is anything to go by.

They are much larger than the old raiders but sit somewhere between 2nd edition and Knightmare in size, I will take some comparison pics.

I must admit to be very tempted by these...

Lovely work; I hope the campaign goes well for you! :)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Great looking miniatures.
That paint job is giving serious second edition nostalgia.
