Marbo Conversion

[lastik]

Gentleman and Ladies, I've been threatened.

And by that I mean I was told a Comissar would soon be knocking at my door to question about my loyalty to the emperor if I even so much as have the heretical thought of making a guard list without Mr. Stallone himself. But I don't like the model so I was working my two synapses and I come up with..


... The heart-warming, tear-wrenching story of a young Ork full of dreams and passions that longed to join the glorious ranks of the Imperial Guard..

So for giggles I want my Marbo to be an Ork model (but I don't have any). Any suggestions?

Right, now that that's sorted, maybe look at the Ork Kommando minis and turn one of them into your Marbo. The one on the upper left might be the best choice. He's got a pistol, big knife, and a demo charge-like tankbusta bomb on his back...

The GW Marbo model is awful, though, and I converted my own as well.

Hot-dang I finally lost me some weight!

What about Snikrot? it's cheaper than ordering a squad of Komandos or Tank Bustas that I probably won't use anyway..

Is the Ork wearing a mask or make up to hide his identity?

A simple matter of drawing a IG face on a tiny piece of paper and "glue" it to the orks face ;D

Hmmm... Yeah, Snikrot could work very nicely.

I's a sneaky git!

Could be quite an entertaining idea...

To clarfiy the Ork's interest in the Guard, say he's from the Blood Axe Clan, and has taken it to the extreme .

As for the Guards opinion on it... maybe they are ignorant of the Ork's actions, or at least "claim" ignorance...
