Florian's SciFi Forces: 10 May ‘24: The Four-Armed Emperor‘s Left and Right Hand

[DivisMal]

Thank you all for the praise, I'm now off with my lady for some music (today Hamburg has a Jazz festival and we got tickets for the Elbphilharmonie), but I'll try and post more later.

Great looking set there mate, you're pretty damn creative when it comes to putting together a 15mm force of any kind! (Rather like the lady ork too I must say...)

Thanks. I never really liked when they (GW) turned Orks into Mushrooms that were a spore weapon of an ancient civilization. Too silly, even for me.
My idea was to go with WoW and give my Orcs some girls to which they could boast about their glorious victories against "da emperor's finest"!

Maybe a set of Orc ladies would be a nice idea (or stretch goal, or teaser model) for the next Slap Miniatures KS?

They come up with all these bright ideas and then promptly forget them.

Bolt guns fire rocket propelled rounds - no casing, limited recoil - so all art has casings and all fluff has recoil.

Orks are strange mobile fungi, that bleed red...

True. And then fluff gets back into the game it gets weirder still.

Anyway, my Orks have chicks and my space marines will be more like Sardaukar and not 9 feet giants without sex life. They will drink, make dirty jokes and *gasp* also include women, just like it was back in RT!

One of CP model's chubby 15mm Space Orks. Some of the sculpts are okay. Actually the designs are pretty good, but the details are rather wibbly-wobbly and sadly (and this is more serious) in some cases the proportions are flawed, like arms which are long enough to reach to the floor.  Otherwise, the sets are fairly priced and should be a nice addition for any 15mm collector.

Anyway, here is Fat Jared from one of my boyz mobs.

And another CP model. The Ork Dreadnaught. I like the model, even though the details are not very well defined.

[DivisMal]

Gretchin champion made from a demonworld goblin. You can turn quite a lot of fantasy models into space opera types by simply glueing guns to their backs. This is from an Ion Age sprue for shia khan.

[DivisMal]

Another Space Ork female. Originally this was a demonworld ice witch. Hands have been cut and repositioned and a gun added to her back.

[DivisMal]

One of my nobz. This is one of the great orc models sold by magister militum. Simply paint the pseudo-medieval armour in bright colors and add a gun. Viola! This is Grum Headtaker, who single-handedly stormed the trench held by Space Marines on the Imperial deathworld Gottes Tod 223.

[DivisMal]

A demonworld orc, from which I cut the hand and added a hasslefree 28mm gun which included a hand. Note that the scale of heroic 15/18mm and realistic 28mm often works very well.

[DivisMal]

One of my Cyber-Trolls. It's actually a demonworld fantasy troll. Arms have been cut off and replaced with 28mm bits.

I use him with my nobz or as an ogryn. Maybe the fur needs to be further highlighted.

(I usually paint at night with electric light and sometimes underestimate just how poorly my highlights work when it's day). 

[DivisMal]

Another one of my nobz. It's a fantasy orc from magister militum with his hands cut off and replaced by Mantic 28mm bits.

The banner is made from wire, paper and old transfers.

[DivisMal]

Last one for today: Another troll, this one is also from the demonworld range. I cut of the abdomen and legs, wiv my handy bone saw and da help from my Gretchin assistant and glued 'im on a 20mm bike (either old GW Dark Future or Apocalypse miniatures) that was slightly modified wiv spikey bitz.

[Bergil]

DO like the bikes very much.

[DivisMal]

Here is a quick view of my 15mm Genestealer Cult.

The centre piece is the now famous Slap Miniatures Secret Mini, or as I call him the Father.

He is assisted by a Magus, several demagogues as well as a renegade sensei knight (to the right) Mordred Orcslayer, a veteran from the Hiermonymous crusade, who found enlightenment. Humanity was only to prevail against the greenskins of the Bad Moonz clan if it accepted the Cult of the Four-armed Emperor!

With them are the Father's two coven limousines and a renegade tank (repainted Matchbox).

The household is made up of several purestrain genestealers, which are actually the old GW genestealer familiars, several hybrids (Khurasan Cthulhu cultists) and hordes of cultists, mainly from Alternative Armies and Demonworld.

Do you want to join the Church of the Four-armed Emperor? Already now with more followers than the orthodox cult of the worm emperor and the Orange Catholic bible!
