Sharke’s Orc Rifles (and elves)

Fantasy with magic, orcs, elves, dwarves and other people are not limited to some would-look-like medieval or bronze age setting. Urban fantasy with vampires and werwolves crwaling the streets are bestsellers – no to mention Shadowrun. Weird fantasy at WWII and Wild West are common among RPGs.

At miniatures level you get easy access to classical fantasy as well as SF-Fantasy (thanks the evil empire games). Others settings are rare. But you get 19th century Napoleon-War with lots of cool minis. I own just some small minis but these are even more appreciated.

 

Gruntz

What would a WAAGH! be without the hordes? So here are the rageing greenskins.

 

First – as always the Big Boss with his friends. Nothing special, just the biggest Orc in town. Wiht Mek, Medic and Banner. The base will be done some time…

 

Next you get the different Hordes. Also nothing special. For variaty every greenskin in a base is slightly different painted. I think there are 5 to 10 different colourshemes in the hordes.

At last you get the specialists: Stormboys and Kommandos. These are also slightly different painted. The Kommandos got their Boss made from a Big Boss, just the banners removed..

Firepauer

Big Orx – Big Gunz. Is there be more to say?

 

There are the small Big Gunz. Not really fast on the move but that’s the Orc-kind of artillery.

Even better is the Gunfortress. These are Gunz to move and transport for troops. Really Big Bang. The Fortress ist slightly converted. Orx are added and one tower got a new roof.

But the best Big Gunz are the ones from the Mekkboys. The Zapp-Gunz are mobile an Big Bang.

Warwaggonz an‘ Trukks

Some warwaggons with less firepower but transport. All of them got some conversion. For transport also some trucks. These are heavely conversion of some WWII Trucks.

Here you can get an impression of the conversions done.

Speedfreakz

Bikes, buggies, wartraks and skorchas are the favorites of the speedfreakz in every Orc-horde.

Bikes are made with some conversions. You can recognize some trikes made of bikes and old warbuggies. Also lots of bitz are added.

Warbuggies are from newer as well as older models. Also some conversions were made as a few had missed their weapons. So I have added Orc-minis wiht heavy weapons. You could see two of them in the closeup.

Stompas an‘ other tinkans

Completly from scratch I have done my tincans. The Stompas where converted.

As you could see all of them got some extra armour and rivetts, of course. They have got their weapons moved and got some extra firepower. One of them now is technicaly not a Stompa as he has now tracks to move.

The Killakans and the Dreadnoughts are scratch – which is the fun part of making an orc horde.

I have used lots of bits an things and plasticcards. They are based on coins.

 

Air-Supporrrt

Here are my „Fighta-Bombas“ from my WH40k Epic Orx.

Two of them got planes made of plasticsheet. I had made some pics but they are not the best. But you can get an impression.

And here are also some of painting and basing WIP.

Fly like a bumblebee and sting like a hornett – WH40k Epic Orx

I will post pics of my Epic collection and will start with my Orx. There are lots of conversions and some scratch so it will take some time to get the proper pics. But first the whole horde so far.
