Some pics of old today. Funny, silly conversions I did some years ago. I didn't have Stomboyz and, to be honest, the WWII German-like uniform is something that never really got my eye. Instead of that I thought I could add some flavour to my army and try something different for this kind of unit. And so I came with the idea of... the Paratroopah Orks!

Death from above!

Da Parachoot

Well, honestly, can you think of anything more Ork-like than jumping out into the void and falling down pending of a mere piece of cloth? :P
Super easy conversion, I made green stuff backpacks and glued four straight wires out of it. The parachute itself is simple paper for weight issues. I could do it better, but for the moment they will do.
 |
I had to add extra weight to the bases, of course
|
 |
The crouching legs of the models were just perfect for this purpose
|
And of course I also had Orks on the ground...

Retrieving da parachoot

This time the parachute is green stuff
|
I also had some fun with different variations...
 |
...like the guy whose ring doesn't open anything
|
 |
Or the guy who got wrapped into his own parachute
|
 |
| Incoming! |
 |
Another one wrapped in his parachute :P

Not top conversions, but funny stuff nevertheless. I'll have to revisit the concept one day, but for the moment here they are :)
Really Great paint , nice figurines
ReplyDeleteCheers
Thank you both! :)
ReplyDeleteI've tried to catch the spirits of that age, I hope I have achieved it, at least a little.
Stormboyz were always the best! One of the funniest ideas of the period. Splendid work with the lot.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Yeah, they were great, both in concept and design, I'm glad I've had the opportunity to paint them.
