Cheetor's Orks: Kommando Kill Team 16/10/18

Everything looks so lovely and awesome! You really managed to officially rock and become a reference!!

It was a great weekend, with a few LAF'ers in attendance.  My greenskins featured in a few games, I do enjoy playing games with the little guys.

I don't see a pic of your Kev Adams sculpt! 

Im saving it until I paint it.  It will show up in my Sci-Fi Non-Combatants thread when I do.  Its kinda goofy and to misquote the Goblinmaster, it looks not a lot like me despite technically being a portrait.  The face however is a Kev Adams original, so I love it like a fanboy regardless.

That looked a cracking game 

I think a trip to Oldhammer might be on the cards next year (it's was tentatively this year but never happened).

cheers

That is the "Graveyard Express", driven by Dave Grigger and owned by LAF'er James Holloway.  He did a great job on it.

Fellow LAFers and gaming buddies theottovonbismark, Mr Saturday and Just John are meeting up with me and with another mate for some gaming soon.  One of the proposed games is the goofy "Brewhouse Bash" game that was printed in White Dwarf in the late 1990s.  Brewhouse Bash is about drunk orks fighting.  The end.

For fun we decided to each put together and paint a specific brawler model for the game.  For reasons that I am not 100% clear about, I decided to go for an ork that is based on the super badass bouncer character of "Dalton" from the eighties movie "Roadhouse.



I dug around in the mancave until I found some suitable bits...



(I ended up using a different head than the one shown, but for illustrative purposes it makes little difference)

... and then bulked up the arms a little and added a shocking mullet.



Sculpting is very much out of my comfort zone, but I got away with it here I think.  The hair ended up a bit crudely sculpted, but I was confident that I could cover up the worst aspects of the sculpting at the painting stage.









This subject may be pretty dumb in many respects, but I havent enjoyed putting together and painting a toy soldier as much as Swayzork for a long time.  The combination of the trousers and the hair make me smirk every time that I look at it.  Maybe I am just easily amused, but I hope that some of you guys find it even a little bit as entertaining as I do. 
It cracks me up.

The blog post with a few more photos and the like is here.

Thanks for looking!

Roadhouse!

Swayzork is great, a ridiculous character from a ridiculous movie

That gave me a damn good chuckle, mate.

Brilliant!

A movie they are remaking. :-)

The painting is fantastic, as always, and the idea is brilliant too. But that sculpting... That's pretty damn good for something very much out of your comfort zone. (to paraphrase)
