Luggub's Drop Legion

A few WIP pict-captures of da boyz from Luggub's Drop Legion; my affectionate update of the ork sample army of Battle for the Farm fame:

 

Thrugg, Hruk and their drinking buddies disciplined squad leaders

 

 

 

The models are converted to better match the Rogue-Trader era aesthetic – see if you can pick out specific models from the RT period :) – so a bit more punk-militaristic, a bit less bestial than modern orks.

I was thinking about your models last night actually, and I wondered if you'd had a look at some of the third party Ork bits? I ask as there's quite a few cool-looking heads and such that are more Blood Axe / RT in style, and it would give you even more variety.

 

Otherwise, as I said in the other thread, these are looking ace! Well done. :D

I love the variety of skin tones you've got here!

I love the variety of skin tones you've got here!

I noticed the same thing, this is really neat! They really do look a whole lot more diverse than most ork armies out there. What different colors did you use to get the varied skin tones?

Thanks chaps. Painting skin is a bit of a hobby-horse of mine, so if you’re in the mood for a discursive explanation (and a step by step example), you can read about painting ork skin on my blog.

I hadn’t even clocked that these guys have slightly different skin tones! That’s next level. Proper respect, as if Ork boys aren’t time consuming enough!
