28mm Kromlech Orc Characters Warhammer 40K with a WW2 German Ork fetish,.........

.........Ork Commisar, Chururgeon and Tank Driver.

Picked these resin boys up quite a while ago without letting the figure committee from the Rejects know, am I descending in to more 40K madness or just some sci-fi madness.....who knows but modern 15mm modelling and the crap you get sold (mostly 15mm vehicle companies) has come to a temporary end.

These orks are considered very unorky (maybe not a real word) as they like grey and vintage WW2 dressing up or they found some real old copies of some Victor and Warlord comics in the backpack of an Imperial guardsman?

Disciplined, ruthless and a fondness for medals.....very unorky!

Nice minis though from Kromlech.

There may be more ork madness coming, I think I may be broken.


Orc Chururgeon or Painboy



Orc Commisar, keeps the unorky discipline.




Orc Tank Driver, waiting on his Tiger?

    I think you just invented a new word.
    Maybe they are from an alternate universe of orcs?
    Nice job with the painting!

    The old "Blood Axe" clan of GW Orks liked their camo and uniforms - these look like they are following that tradition.

    Very nice paint jobs!

    Nice, but one of them needs a Pickelhaube at least.

    I'm a fan of the Kromlech orc/k face. It's clearly a development of the approach Brian Nelson took for GW, but for me it's truer to the more innovative route he went down, and more expressive and living than a lot of GW's these days.

    A little of what you fancy does you good. I see you as having a strength through diversity. Do not be fettered by the Rejects figure committee. Not everything has to have a lace shirt and floppy hat. While 40k is no longer for me I would in no way want to stifle your creativity. Bravo sir. But I hope you are able to return to modern troops sometime in the future.

    Nice paint job and yes they're very Blood Axey but the for me the faces a little too big. I'm a fan of 1st and 2nd edition Orks.

    Still they're very ncie mini's and you've done a blinde rof a job painting them up.

    Those are some spiffy looking boyz! Once you get that boy a tiger let them get the boot in during a game of boltaction that's sure to rile someone.

      I think the future versions with guns are orks or they're just the same?

    2. Laffe6 August 2014 at 08:53

      They were originally called Space Orcs by GW, simple and plain. Then they came up with the idea of Orks to differentiate between Fantasy and 40k. Also, I suspect, because they could trademark "Ork" but not "Orc" since the latter was an invention by Tolkien.

      And the trademark is probably the reason why Kromlech calls these Orcs :-)

    That Commissar ork would make a great 'Red Barun' for the Fawcett Ave lads. Just needs some goggles.

    Nice paint job, I love these Orks. GW had some like them back in the 80s with steel capped boots and very Nazi like look.
