Title: pimp your orc! kitbashed Orcs from all contributers (as suggested by Elk101)
Post by: Wilgut Spleens on 25 July 2020, 11:45:31 AM: here is a thread where all can display their efforts! These are mostly Oathmark Goblins, Gripping Beast Saxon Thegns(great because they are small for 28mm) Victrix Vikings and Hasle free orc and goblin heads(great value)

I have just recieved some Atlantic Halflings and Eorwhan Orcs which I am hoping to combine to create Gobbos!!!

Post by: Belgian on 25 July 2020, 07:32:46 PM: Great initiative and great work! Here are my conversions made of GW LOTR Orcs, Wargames Atlantic Dark Age Irish, Warlord Games Orcs, Frostgrave Soldiers, Gripping Beast Thegns and other bits.

Post by: Belgian on 25 July 2020, 09:55:50 PM: Looking very nice, great idea of using the dark age bodies and oathmark heads.

Orctastic idea! Looking forward to seeing more Orcish conversions.

Post by: Grumpy Gnome on 26 July 2020, 01:29:41 PM: Wow! So much inspiration on this thread. I have tried to make use of some undead bits that would otherwise go to waste. And yeah, I need to get some more washes on that one orange looking Orc. These are meant to be Orc Trackers as per MESBG, so unarmored, poor melee troops. I figured being near the bottom of the food chain they might look pretty hungry...

Post by: Grumpy Gnome on 02 August 2020, 02:39:21 PM: Some clever designs there mate!

Post by: James Morris on 04 August 2020, 04:44:59 PM: Excellent idea for a thread. There’s certainly never been a better time to build orcs!

Here’s my latest: wolf riders. I loved the Oathmark riders but the wolves didn’t fit my image at all so I’ve been playing around with them. To get some more dynamic shooting poses for the riders, I’ve robbed some Perry WOTR and Gripping Beast Arab cavalry arms. The Wargames Atlantic Irish art has provided a great spear throwing arm for one of my scouts, and a cloak for my goblin
leader. I’ve tried some alternative torsos from the Warlord orcs sprue, but they are a bit barrel-chested. Obviously everything needs green stuffing and a few more tweaks.

Post by: Abbner Home on 07 August 2020, 01:35:42 PM: A pretty basic orc king, Bones orc on a D&D winter wolf with an Oathmark head and Reaper weapon. And my orc sapper team using Wargame Factory with custom tools and tools taken from FF fantasy peasant zombies (I forget the name of the kit).
Title: Re: pimp your orc! kitbashed Orcs from all contributers (as suggested by Elk101)
Post by: Grumpy Gnome on 07 August 2020, 08:42:46 PM: Cool idea on the sappers.
Title: Re: pimp your orc! kitbashed Orcs from all contributers (as suggested by Elk101)
Post by: Melnibonean on 08 August 2020, 01:34:05 AM: Some great ideas here. It seems I'm pretty boring when it comes to orcs and I obviously need to lift my game.

Post by: Ingarsby73 on 03 October 2020, 08:33:26 PM: Here's some of my motley Orcish collection for Middle Earth - mostly Oathmark goblins with Warlord heads, but there's some smaller ones made using Mantic bodies, and some Perry and Victrix parts in the mix.
Title: Re: pimp your orc! kitbashed Orcs from all contributers (as suggested by Elk101)
Post by: Grumpy Gnome on 04 October 2020, 06:29:53 AM: Some excellent kitbashing there! I have some Mantic goblin bodies set aside for just that kind of thing but have not gotten around to it yet.

Second from top reminds me of the old gw orcs on a good way must admit these look suitably feral and vicious but with a man like body and not a ape like.👍

Post by: Grumpy Gnome on 28 October 2020, 08:52:20 AM: I really should not have gotten distracted from my current to do list priorities but yesterday I felt inspired to finally put these together.... although I have no idea when I will be able to paint them.

Mantic goblin bodies and Oathmark goblin heads. A bit of greenstuff here and there to help hide problems. More greenstuff to do at some point I suspect.

I used some spare bits I have been hoarding to make a Druzhag proxy but was surprised to win an original Druzhag recently (painted by previous owner, I will make some modifications when I get the time). Still, I will find a use for my kitbashed version in a Moria Battle Company I think and use the original GW to be the actual Druzhag.

It’s really a quite simple device. And luckily, they don’t really need to be uniformly identical. That would be a lot more difficult!
