However, the helmet proving a problem I haven't resolved yet. The Orkish ones I use for Murians the way I used the old 15mm Orcs I once had in the 80's.BaronDarkhstarrhttp://www.darkhstarr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-78703887708716875932009-04-12T13:20:00.000+01:002009-04-12T13:20:00.000+01:00These Trollkin...http://www.privateerpress.com/WAR...These Trollkin...<BR/>http://www.privateerpress.com/WARMACHINE/gallery/default.php?level=picture&id=169<BR/>Check out the guy 2nd from the right with the goggles.Casey Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03049166737504738677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-82005417899531477562009-04-12T09:03:00.000+01:002009-04-12T09:03:00.000+01:00Trollkin?

If I shaved off the ears and gave them visors they would make good 15mm version of some aliens I have in 28mm that I never get to use but love.Eli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-23448669763188757652009-04-11T22:52:00.000+01:002009-04-11T22:52:00.000+01:00These are great Mangalores!These are great Mangalores!khurasanminishttp://khurasanminiatures.tripod.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-74825551425553132202009-04-11T20:08:00.000+01:002009-04-11T20:08:00.000+01:00They've got a IK Trollkin vibe too.They've got a IK Trollkin vibe too.Casey Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03049166737504738677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-69976077306965188232009-04-11T20:02:00.000+01:002009-04-11T20:02:00.000+01:00stuff orks, these guys are either mangalores or lo...stuff orks, these guys are either mangalores or locusts. in fact i think they are quite "Whoish" and they could do well as opponents for modern UNIT typesMathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-52111463476350977442009-04-11T17:10:00.000+01:002009-04-11T17:10:00.000+01:00I just received some on Thursday.

They're lovely, but I can't see myself buying more without a few more options - if there was another pack with different sculpts, I'd have enough variety to make a decent force, but I really need 2 basic grunt sculpts to put together another platoon* or two. Mixing the painting up a bit works wonders, but not quite enough wonders when they all look the same, and I'm not really up to converting 15mm metals.<BR/><BR/>Your comments on the gunner are spot-on, of course. He's glorious, and I hope he looks even better painted an appropriately orky green.<BR/><BR/>* I'm going with 12-man platoons of 3 squads, on the grounds that these guys are big and ugly enough that they don't /need/ any more in a squad. Also, as mercenaries, they squabble about squad insignias and colours and names until their commander lets them split up into smaller units just to shut them up.user@example.comnoreply@blogger.com
