Beer and pretzels orcs
« on: 27 April 2014, 07:44:07 PM »
Im going to beer and pretzels, in Burton next month. Im playing 40k in a big partisipation game. One force will be made up of orcs on boats. I sponsored the even by sending a load of armour plates to be used by the players to make orc boats. Here is my one, the orcness monster! THe grey bits are just about all Ramshackle Games casts.

Not a 40K fan, but that's a very cool idea and superbly carried out.

That works; this is cool specifically because it doesn't fit the tired corporate dictated 40k mold.  The orks are the force least susceptible to it because its written into the fluff that they make crazy machines.  Doesn't really work if every ork player's crazy machines are the same.  This machine is definitely crazier than most!

Splendidly whacky and whackily splendid.  Looking forward to the painted version.

Thanks for the positive comments! It took about 2  or 3 long ish modelling sessions. Made from plastic tube, bits and also ramshackle armour plates!
