That's a 3d-model from Thingiverse or Cults about 2cm tall.

Some "old but new" pics - here is a Stargrave crew I made more than a year ago.
I had an idea of zealous space orc gang who (knowing nothing about human gender differences) copy Adepta Sororitas battle- dress- and lifestyle. These guys fanatically worship Holy Trinity of Gork, Mork and Zog (whatever that being is...).

They are both odd and awesome at the same time. I love the fact you’ve taken bloodbowl Orcs, that I found irritatingly mono pose (even when only fielding two copies on a pitch - lots of hacking), changed the setting and made something totally new. Brilliant.

Thanks! I don't play Bloodbowl, but I like bloodbowl miniatures for they (not all of them, but many) have great character and poses. For me they are a joy to cut and convert into something new.

I love the way you've taken the Sororitas fleur-de-lis icon and turned it into an Ork skull-glyph without losing any of its recognisability. Really clever work and gorgeously painted.

Yes, that was an idea that gave me inspiration for the project! I suddenly found out that fleur-de-lis can be easily converted into something very orkish  :D

It might have been easy but it was inspired.  Wonderful work on the conversions and painting.

Thanks!

Another blast from the past: a friend of mine donated me a fistful of plastic daemons, almost destroyed by kids. There were some daemonettes poorly cut and glued. After looking into my bitzbox I found a bizarre decision what to do with their wretched bodies. All conversion and contrast-painting took about a couple of hours.

Well executed and very believable but wrong on so many levels.  Well done.
