Converting Ork miniatures
 |
I love converting miniatures and in
particular I love modelling the bane of the Imperium,
the green-skinned Orks. There are so many options
on the Orks sprue for adding extra pieces of equipment
to Ork models. This is before I need think about
more intricate conversions, which are so easy
to do in plastic.
|
Amongst my many Ork models is an Ork with
two heads; he always raises comment from my foes. I
had also used a huge arm from the Chaos Mutations sprue
on an Ork on a warbike. It was with these models in
mind that I began to consider making some mutant Orks,
using the Chaos Mutations sprue.

The new Chaos Mutations sprue
I had really enjoyed assembling Chosen
Chaos Warriors for my Warhammer Chaos army. The
new Mutations sprue was a dream to use. I felt
that the next stage would be for me to use the
parts to mutate some Orks, who, incidentally,
have a similar build to Chaos Warriors. Little
did I know that this would culminate in 30+ insanely
converted models! This also included a particularly
strange metal conversion of an Ork Nob, made from
Chaos Spawn parts.

Here's just a selection of my mutated Orks:
Painting
I wanted to make a feature of the warped
nature of the conversions so I deliberately chose a
contrasting colour to pick them out. Many of the mutations
were painted with Dwarf Flesh to stand out from the
rest of the model, which is typically painted Goblin
Green. For some variety I painted some mutations, particularly
the ones with huge arms, in green skin. This looked
a bit more natural. I also picked out warts, buboes,
etc, in Dwarf Flesh to make them stand out.
