[Archive] Black Orc Boar Boyz

Grimstonefire:





I added some armour plates to the back as well, as that area looked a bit too smooth. Notice the one using an axe blade as armour.



Here you can see how well the legs joined. I think if I had been really skilled I could have done the join perfectly without needing greenstuff at all.



Lastly a shot from the top, so you can see how I got them to rank up.







tjub:

Hoh, really cool! I like them alot… :slight_smile:

Kered:

Very nice I think the head guard and read eyes work very well. only one question is how the armour plats on the boars rump stay on?

Grimstonefire:

I’ve been wanting to do these since the plastic black orcs came out, but the rubbish GW boars always stopped me.

I was saying over on da warpath that if I were to build a full Orc list I’d use these as orc big uns.  What I am probably going to do is to make a display army only, and convert/sculpt some proper black orcs on boars and put them on 40mm bases.  Those would be seriously huge models, the boars would have barding.

As a display unit I was thinking of making these to 15 models, and use all the spare parts towards a decent looking unit of orcs on foot.  Then I’d just have to bulk them out with new GW orc boyz (which I am reliably told will be redone when they finally get a new book).

@Kered

Notice the massive nails… :wink:

The Stormchild:

:o Very cool!

I love the paint job!

Kered:

I see thats why the boars look so enraged.

Thommy H:

Excellent, simple (in a good way) conversions, and probably the best paint job I’ve seen from you on that first guy.

Nicodemus:

Fantastic work, totally great combination and nice clean/simple use of GS!

I like your paint job on the metal weapon blades as well. Good stuff all around.

RoguePanda:

Now that’s a set of boarboyz that mean business… lovely work!

warh:

this is awsome!

those orks must have been really mean to the boars, nailed on armour plates on there backx.x

AGPO:

Top work Grim as usual, I shudder to think which poor orc had the job of hammering those plates into the boars skull

Zanko:

The models are not mine - much too bulky and rude!

But nonetheless great conversions and awesome / outstanding paintjob! :hat off
