Pics of my growing Orc/Ogre horde to follow almost immediately

The background and rules for it are over in the mawpit sagas.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
No Alpesh, they are not Cannon of Khorne, they are small pieces of loft insulation and your hair is enormous!
Yay cant wait.. but still you should have uploaded the pics first before making this topic...
Here are some of my orcs and ogres, all are works in progress and need some finishing/starting/tidying.  I've seen any and all flash lines and the like.  I will fix that post haste

pic 1. My Gutlord has a rib cage mounted on his back.  It's from a glow in the dark dinosaur skeleton kit for gifted children.
He is undercoated and needs a bit more plating before he's ready for paint.

pic 2. Savage Orc Big Un Musician - he has a bell on his head.  It's from the old multi-command sprue. 

pic 3.  Savage Big Un Boss - one of his hands is from Wurrzag the other is a glow in the dark raptor's hand

pic 5. Regular Orc boy from the 5th ed starter kit.  Imagination and knives go a long way.

pic #1 Savage Big Un - lots of warpaint and lots of trophies - his shirt is made from an Imperial banner.

pic #2 Savage Big Un Boss - Wurrzag's body, the hooded head hacked off to allow space for dinosaur ribs and a spike.  I used the pointy hood to make a codpiece for him.  The left hand weapon is a combination of Ork Chainsword and ironfist bitz.

pic #3 Leadbelcher Standard Bearer (I know I can use him as that in a game :)) more of the standard later.  It's big.

pic#4
LB Bellower - Blood, sweat and warpaint do mix!  His gun is the tool that comes with the Rosie the Riveter action figure.  He has an attendant Gnoblar to rest it on.

Pic #1 is my unit of 20 Blorcs/Big Unz/Tinny Big Uns - They are nails and covered with Ogre weapons and trophies and bits of armour from all over.

Pic #2 is my Warboss, Mickey Nine.  He is a 40K warlord with some basic weapon swaps. I made the big Ironfist out of two orc swords stuck back to back and then attached to the three pronged ironfist from the Bulls box.

Pic  #3 is also my warboss - from the rear.  The modern looking pouch will be covered by a cape or sack or body part soon.  His guns are either decorative or count as a brace of handguns/pistols depending on whether I'm using my own rules or GW's

Pic #4 is my animosity Orc boyz - they have a drummer with a six piece kit.  Like the other Orc units, the boyz are a combo of 5th ed orc boyz, the multipart boyz battalion, Ork Stikk Bommers and Ogre Bulls (as well as other sundry bitz)

Can i give you a tip? :D use photobucket.. we could see all the pictures in bigger size without clicking em.. go to www.photobucket.com and then make an account (for free) and then just upload your pictures and get the IMG code ^^

About the models:
Looks pretty good.. i like orks :P


EDIT:
Eh.. Why are your picutres named
"gaymen 030" ect.. But then again.. not my business
Hi Winbear - I have a photobucket but I shot the figs at such a high magnification that the pics look shocking at a bigger size. 

My charming sister always referred to my minis as "little gay men".  The name stuck and is now used by me and my wife.  So politically incorrect!

I knocked my Savage Boss down a air conditioning vent so God got me back!  So far I have recovered his hat.  I need to break out the shop vac!

ahh.. just put the pics on photobucket.. we all know that all the bad detail shows up but we have to see it clearly :D
Download Photoscape (free download), and use the resizing function - it's a really easy program to use, and can help even really bad photos!

Before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you judge them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

His name is Pikey. His name is Pikey too! Yep - Pikey! Pikey the Gnoblar...

We've got lumps of it round the back

Pic 1 is of my chariot - both orcs wield big skaven weapons.  One is from the classic Domroller model (I think).  I'm not sure about the other, maybe the Vermin Lord, it has a bell on it which almost always cries ratmen.

Pic 2 is the front rank of my Blorc/Tinny Big Un unit - lots of Ogre bitz here

Pic 3 rank 2 of the same

Pic 4 is rank 3

Pic 5 is, you guessed it, rank 4

They carry Mork's Spirit Totem.  The two Blorc models in there were the first figures I'd bought in at least 12 years and the first that I ever painted (I painted one skeleton when I was 15ish).

There's a lot of simple conversions in there, I need to add a little more armour plating, loot, booty and a bit of dakka before I feel that they are big enough.  The size difference when compared to my normal boyz is pretty considerable.

I will probably get a small unit of plastic blorcs and just do lots of head and weapon swaps and keep that one discrete from this.  I really hate black orc helmets, the only ones you will see in my army are either trophies or beaten into shoulder plates.

Savage Big Uns - Game winners!
