Kromlech Put an Orc in Charge of a Tank… We’re Doomed
June 8, 2012 by dracs
Kromlech have put up some previews on their Facebook of some new sculpts for an Orc tank crew.
You can't help but love these characterful minis. You can easily imagine them in a looted Imperial vehicle, adding insult to injury by wearing the previous owner's uniform coat.
Anyone want to take these Orcs for a ride in one of their tanks?
It’s true – the WW2-style clothes really do make them look like they stole an IG officer’s gear and I like how the wrinkled upper lip gives them a feeling of being aged veterans. An orkified Leman Russ would suit these guys down to the ground – especially if your main opponent plays IG just to rag on them a bit… 😉
Looks like so far Kromlech sculpted the commander and loader. Now if they could sculpt a younger looking ork as the radio operator, an ork with a mustache as the driver, and a boar (or squig), then they’d successfully orkify “Four Tank Men and a Dog”!
That second orc with his head tilted a bit just adds to the life of them. I really need to start an ork army some time soon with all this custom stuff.
Im getting my hands on these as soon as they become available. Love the life in them as was pointed out. Now, what looted tank should they command? 🙂
