Napoleonic Orcs for futuristic-sfx wargames

[LotB]

Hi,
We have made a special section in our Naran's site,  dedicated to the futuristic sci-sfx Napoleon's Orc army.
The idea was born from the fact that we had read that the English had nicknamed "Ogre" Napoleon.
So we had thought it might be fun to create an army of Orcs for Warhammer 40K inspired by the Napoleonic army. It 'could realize this idea following the discovery of Historex components in 1/32 scale, for precisely miniture representatives of the soldiers of the Napoleonic French army. We ordered a first blister via Micromondi ( a Turin shop) and we were able to verify that the hats, helmets and busts of Historex suited perfectly to the head, arms and legs of the Orcs of the GW WH40K series.
My dark son Sandro has already deployed this extraordinary army in some WH40K game tournaments.
We plan to also make a similar army list for our sfx wargame Naran Future Wars.
You can see the section dedicated to the Napoleonc Orcs clicking on the button that we have put in the home page of our website:

Those are excellent!

Just what the world needs, more fantasy napoleonics!

I particularily like the line infantry and the cuirassiers. 

So who's gonna be British?

So who's gonna be British?

Has to be eldar.

Has to be tyranids, eating everything and making it their own all over the galaxy.

They are the Praetorian Guard (Imperial Guard): I hope GW will reissue them (plastic kits too) soon.

"Napoleonic Orcs for futuristic-sfx wargames "   

This has to be the most bizarre concept for an army I've ever seen - yet it works fantastically well.

Top marks for imagination!

[rob_the_robgoblin]

Praetorians?

I have quite a few of those... 

[abhorsen950]

Best orc army! Ever?

[vonsirius]

Cool!
Flintloque game from Alternative armies has 28mm Napoleonic orcs that can be usefull to you!

But we cannot use them, because to participate to WH40K tournaments, the miniatures must be, at least in part, GW original.
At least here in Italy there is this rule.
