Da Crusha:
very nice dynamic pose psychosis. it is a really lively scene! I like how he looks like he is flying off that base. awesome!
PsychosisPC:
Yes…The first fight scene is basically like the one that she did, my sort of paying homage to her, I’ll have another model that will look very much like another of hers. I saw these years ago right after she first posted them, and have want to build something like that ever since. At the moment though I’m essentially getting used to what I can easily do and not do…basically just getting my orc mojo going.
PsychosisPC:
Next up another homage to Victoria’s old orcs.
The whole idea of this unit is for it to be beating up on the zombies, what better way than to rip the guts out of zombie. Instead of braaaaiiinnnsss, its gggguuuutts. Yum.
PsychosisPC:
A couple more of the rank and file…
PsychosisPC:
Next fight scene, doubles as a filler piece also. 4 boyz and a zombie on a 50mm
The goal with these units were to beat up on the undead. Well we have a boy ready to throw at you.
Now you may say how do you paint that? Well I made it so that models are just pinned to the base and removable for painting as separate pieces.
And this guy is another homage to Victoria, he is the “Oh boy” orc.
Unzul:
the fight scenes are very funny… good job
Dino:
Looking really nice. Really like the one holding his hand over his head.
Willmark:
Great stuff, really liking the orc with his hand over his eyes.
dncswlf:

nitroglysarine:
does the orc have throwing weapons 
Clinkz:
looking very nice, good work :hat off
Fequiil:
those orcs are the best boyz I
PsychosisPC:
Many thanks guys, I definitely plan to do that stuff in my army when I get around to it. I think it really adds some stories to the unit.
A couple more of the rank and file…
One weapon I do not like is that over head spiked club, so a simple conversion is to take the cleaver blade and replace the club.
The last couple of this unit, that’s about it for this unit, leaves the movement tray and assembling of the puzzle.
This one has the wounded orc and his buddy hollerin’…
Using some beastmen shields also.
You see he also has an owwie on his 'ead.
I definitely plan to do more scenes with wounded orcs also when I finally get around to building my army.
Next up the assembled unit.
Fequiil:
damn those are awesome!
PsychosisPC:
Well here is the wrap up of the first orc boy unit. I and the client are happy with how they turned out. I based the models on Gale Force 9 magnetic bases. Its not the first time I�?Tve used them, but I have noticed sometimes you get a batch that just are not real clean on the cut edges, so I needed to get an Xacto out and shave them a bit.
You will also notice that I used Aves Apoxie sculp on the bases, that�?Ts the white stuff that you see on the GF9 bases. I did this for areas where the models needed a slight repositioning in height to offset model conflicts or needed some special way of supporting the model itself.
When you do modeling with a lot of crazy conversions, you will sometimes need to do this just to eliminate conflicts in the rank and file.
I built the custom movement tray out of plasti-card. I used the apoxie sculp to around the outsides to get that nice flowing transition up to the bases. Typically I make the edges wider than say what GW does with their trays for a couple of reasons:
1. Eye-candy: It makes it very easy to add subtle little details off on the edges of the tray to add to the overall appearance of the models.
2. Protection: I have crazy poses or sometimes the models hang way out over the edges of small trays like the GW or GF9 trays. When you spend hours detailing your miniatures, the last thing you want is a player that has old metal models being slammed into your models on the gaming table chipping off paint, or worse yet potentially damaging some fragile detail. It is not that people mean to do it, it just happens, so this is just another step that I do help protect things.
I also lined the interior of the movement tray with the GF9 magnetic sheet that is backed with an adhesive. You will note on the back side of the movement tray I left it open. I�?Tve been doing that recently for most of my stuff, so that if I add characters displacing regular models, or want to add a few models to the unit they can basically ride along on the back of the tray. Another thing I do is make the interior of the tray, just a bit larger allowing for a slightly looser packing of the bases, normally not much more that 2-3 mm.
Playing off of the boyz beating on Vampire Counts, I carried the theme throughout with this unit against zombies. The next unit will be beating on the poor old skeletons. The biggest and hardest boyz get put in the front, because dey�?Ts da best. With all of the craziness going on with the poses it�?Ts a good idea to mark down in some form of code, how and where they are to be placed within the unit, so that the jigsaw puzzle is easier to put together. To do this I simply use a Paint Marker on the bottom of the base to write down the code.
So there you have it, Orc Boyz unit #1.
nitroglysarine:
Well, that unit is suffering animosity!
I like the character of the unit
Da Crusha:
awesome looking models, I wish I could see them painted up.
nitro: they aren’t going to be painted, they are for commission.
PsychosisPC:
awesome looking models, I wish I could see them painted up.That's correct, just a build them commission. No worries, though eventually I will build my own unit that I will paint.
nitro: they aren't going to be painted, they are for commission.

Shakhorth:
Awesome work m8. Truly this orc mob suffers from animosity.
Can’t wait to see your own unit.
dncswlf:
Now there’s some orcs! well, someone is going to paint them somewhere…
