Five of us got together for a gaming session a little while ago. For fun we decided to dig out the rules for Brewhouse Bash game printed in White Dwarf in the late 90s. To invest each of the players, and provide an amusing little side project each participant was required to produce an ork suitable for the event (so primarily unarmed or armed with improvised weapons).
The bar was put together from Battlesystems sci-fi terrain, which also contained chairs to be used as weapons by the protagonists. The terrain set didnt have bottles however, which are also used as props in the game. Rather than use cardboard bottle counters like these...
...theottovonbismark decided to put together a series of props to serve the same function in game. He them posted the pieces to me and I quickly painted them.
The set that he sculpted really is quite entertaining. It includes various bottles, both broken and intact (including a bottle of refined and very rare “Tears of Isha”), an unlit molotov cocktail, a jug, some suspicious looking meat on the bone, a plinth mounted bust of “Orkimedes” and a bong made from an Imperial Fist helmet. I dont think that most folks actually grow weed in their bongs, but thats artistic license for you.
I forgot to take proper snaps of the actual Brawler models, so I didnt even end up with photos of all five which was a stupid oversight. The following shots are from the blog posts about the models with links to the appropriate blog posts about them if you need more details:

The game itself played adequately and was a lot of laughs. Its not something that I would want to play ion a very regular basis as it is currently written, but I have plans to add a couple of elements to make it a suitable convention game. More details on that when it materialises. Before that, a couple of photos of the game in progress:
