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!

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!

Post by: Andrew May on November 28, 2023, 06:15:52 PM: They are much larger than the old raiders but sit somewhere between 2nd edition and Knightmare in size, I will take some comparison pics.

Lovely work; I hope the campaign goes well for you! :)

That paint job is giving serious second edition nostalgia.
