I joined a Kickstarter campaign, another thing I've always tried to avoid, for new Kevin Adams'space orks and from there I also needed some original, pre-plastic arms, orks. The ones with the flak-pad armour.
I'm particularly happy with these two orks. With the huamn caucasian skin and stubbles and the seventies orange space suit I managed to break with the traditional 'Eavy Metal green orks in red armour.
Some years ago Dr.the Viking showed an ork grav tank he built on LAF and his blog. Some months later I found exactly the same shampoo bottle on the beach (with labels written in cyrillic!) and later I even found the same espresso machine caps so I had to do the same grav tank.
More to come in the near future..
Your orks look fabulous. I don't know that I ever would have thought to do them like that, but it's darn interesting. The idea of somewhat more human orks as a sort of rebellious biker/punk underclass has a certain appeal to it. And you've painted them very very well. Also, love the grav-tank. That's old school.
