Watched several Gears of War cut scenes and when the Locust soldiers appeared thought “Those look like Orks, sort of.”

Here’s a fast and cheap experiment: Genestealer heads on AoBR Ork Nobz, with shooting bitz. Not perfect but the right direction. I have five more ready for paint.

Saw the FFG ad on TGN, but who knows how the figs will be? Wasn't aware about the Clix 'til the other day.

Either way, they were done on the cheap and it kept me out of trouble for a while.

Great conversion simple but very effective. I recognise the orc bodies but with these heads and colorscheme (nice paint job btw) they've lost the comic book orc effect.

Good job. thanks for posting!

WHOA!


THOSE NEW PLASTIC ORK NOBZ AND GENESTEALERS MUST BE HUGE! THAT REAPER SPACE MARINE HERO STANDING NEXT TO THEM IS NORMAL SIZED BY COMPARISON, AND HE IS BIG BY ANY MINIME STANDARDS!

I really like those conversions! a lot!


OOOH, THE BOARDGAME AND WOC both are gonna do GEARS OF WAR!


DAWGIE needs all of the above new toys to play with! ASAP!
