Lovely work my friend,
I like the limo & the cult leader.
Where did you get them from?
Thanks for sharing

Thank you, my friend!

The lino is just a chance find of a diecast car in our local supermarket. Was even reduced to €1.99. I just basecoated it in black and did a repaint, mostly inks and drybrushing in the cult colors.

The patriarch is a private commission I did with Stu from SlapMiniatures a few years ago - I should still have a few left somewhere…. Sadly I lost contact to him as he also did a conversion set for hybrids and a worm emperor in 15mm.

Yes indeed. He was an immensely talented sculptor. His space orcs are amazing! I’ve been trying to contact him for quite some time now, though…
If you ever do a GSC, contact me, I ‚ll try to find one sculpt for you! And do a running Patriarch!

I think the way to go for GSC, would be 3D printed + greenstuff.

Thanks

Stu from Slap Miniatures is a mate of mine and just moved back locally, if he doesn't see this thread and respond, I'll drop him a line for you.

That would be very kind, Aliensurfer! I’d love to get back in contact with him.

@Zrunelord: yeah, 3d printing is the way to go now. I don’t have a printer but have bought a model here and there, it’s amazing what suddenly has become possible.

While these are still older models, I managed to do some shots with simple scenery. New stuff is on its way, though!

Space Marines of the Ultramarines chapter prepare for an assault out of the ruins of the old imperial basilica.

Another few pictures from my 15mm Space Ork and Ultramarine forces. The Orks have never reached a stage where I used Stu’s excellent dOrks, and are mostly conversions of Demonworld fantasy orcs with a couple of Alternative Armies and CP models thrown in.

The Space Marines were from Khurasan’s pretty awesome PostApoc range.

First we have a Cyber-Troll assisted by a weirboy and some snotlings is clashing with space marine terminators.

Then there’s a couple of pictures of a mighty HQ of space orks assisted by a Dreadnought.

And finally shots of my Warboss in power armor with retinue and weirdboyz. All painted as part of the Bad Moonz clan.

Thank you Z(orro? 🤔) 😁
I really love the Demonworld range. For 15mm it’s a true classic comparable imo to 80s Citadel or 90s Grenadier. Why? It’s not only well sculpted, but the range is vast, there are so many different models, and they’re all sculpted in the same style with zero scalecreep.

I still would recommend it as the one benchmark to reach.

Thank goodness, other excellent ranges (Copplestone, Crom‘s Anvil, Splintered Light etc.) work very good next to it!

Zorro??!!!  nah ...
I just get tired of typing zrunelord all the time ..... and before you ask I did not choose the name , either...
it was given to me as a choice when I applied for my first gmail address & I guess it just stuck.

Definitely & they are sculpted by none other than Werner Klocke  ( if I am not mistaken ) .. so that in itself should be reason enough to buy them.
And yes I have also the others ( though still need to order from Crom's Anvil ) & as you say all are good.

What I like is that you mixed Fantasy with scifi to good effct.

Z ( the one & only  ;D ;D ;D ;D :D)
