Orc Space Warriors

Sci-Fi Figure Conversions

Orc con mitragliatrice leggera MG 34 Orc spearmen e halberdiers sono facilmente convertiti to modern Orc warriors o Space Orcs by removing the weapon from their hands e replacing it con a modern firearm. Tamiya weapon set della seconda guerra mondiale e modern in scala 1:35 provide a nice selection of assault rifles, mitragliatrici, grenades, ed anti-tank devices which may prove useful. While armi ed accessories in scala 1:35 are not strictly compatibile con soldatini in scala 1:55, the individual oggetti often turn out to be smaller e more detailed than the laser e plasma weapons supplied con space troopers in scala 1:55.

The Ork space warrior shown here has had his spear replaced con una mitragliatrice leggera tedesca MG 34 in scala 1:35 di Tamiya. A stick grenade can be seen attached to the outside of his backpack.

Orcs con swords ed other one-handed weapons may be converted to space warriors by simply adding a slung rifle o a pistol holster. The edged weapon need not be removed, although it may be replaced by a powersword o similar space weapon scrounged from the bits box.

Orc con Panzerfaust rocket launcher This Orc Panzerfaust gunner has had the top e bottom ends of his spear replaced by sections of a Tamiya 1:35 scale Panzerfaust 60 anti-tank rocket projector. The middle section of the spear was kept in place, because it just happened to have the same diameter as the Panzerfaust tube. The figure’s hands were drilled open to accept the plastic parts which were fixed in place con superglue.

The figure’s feet are turned in, his head is hunched low, the eyes are askew, the dangerous end of the rocket projector is pointing at his foot while he’s absent-mindedly fumbling con the trigger, e he has a wonderfully sheepish look on his face which indicates to friend e foe that this space warrior is a threat to everyone, primarily to himself. Figur conversion is an excellent way to turn a timid spearman into a personality figure.

Orc con Panzerfaust rocket launcher The crew of this simple cardboard model of a Universal Carrier consists of Games Workshop 1:55 scale plastic Warhammer 40k Space Ork Raiders. The soldatini have been cut apart at the waist e carved to fit inside the compartimento del guidatore. Una mitragliatrice leggera MG 34 tedesca on a mounting contraerei has been placed in the cargo bay. It is interesting to note that components of the MG 34 were used to build the Star Wars movie prop of the DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle. The carrier may be improved by adding camouflage netting, fuel cannisters, blanket rolls, ed other personal gear.
