An old Rogue Trader Space Ork weirdboy I finally painted up.   For some odd reason the left arm is plastic.  I added some green stuff to the epaulet and sleeve to match the right arm.

Lovely conversion and painting. Were there more 'Napoleonic' 40K sculpts?

None that I can think of.   There was a Ork Freebooter wearing a Bicorne hat.

Well that's different  8)

The plastic arm was to help give some weapon options. The vast majority of the RT orks are like that with either one or both arms to be attached with plastic ones.

Unfortunately the plastic arm doesn't match the sculpted arm on most/all of these old weird boys.   Weird sculpting choice.

Fun fact: it's been 200 years since napoleon's defeat at waterloo. It'll be 200 more years until I stop saying how great this mini looks! Great work!  :D
