Binary Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hi guys. As this is my first post I thought I’d make it a doozy. I’ve been playing WH40k for 27 years and dipped my toes into WHFB back with the brettonian/lizard men set. Ive decided that now is the right time to leap into AoS. Most people who know me know that I can’t just do anything warhammer simply. I just can’t build straight out of the box, there has to be a theme and a reason for the theme. Ive always been interested in the idea of orcs, particularly savage orcs. I wanted to capture that savage image (I always saw it as a Native American tribal image) but how to do it differently? playing around with the kits and some GS gave me the breakthrough. How about a Native American/ Planet of the Apes look? Maybe it’d work...... I’m building towards a 2k list eventually and so far have 10 orcs finished, 5 in progress, an Ironjawz megaboss on maw krusha in progress and a finished troggoth. Now onto the pics. Well enough rambling. This GS fur isn’t going to sculpt itself! 13 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenshin620 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 It's planet of the apes! In Sigmar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsino Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 This is great, fantastic job on sculpting the fur, I can imagine it's gonna be a lot of work to get to 2k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vastus Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Oh this is great, very creative. What's the Maw Krusha gonna be like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think he would get that time back when it comes to painting (i.e. drybrushing) the fur when compared to painting lots of skin.

Binary Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hey Guys, thanks for all the feedback and support. There has been more progress with the Tribe. I've built the next 5 Gorillorcs, GS'd them and they're ready for painting. I also finished the GS on the Megaboss (just trying to think of some conversion ideas for the Maw-Krusha) and built and painted the first of the Ironjaw Brutes. Gorillorcs Megaboss Brute The Brute was built without the chest or back armour, and just one of the shoulder pads. He also show's the skin tones I'm using for the Gorilllorcs. Starts with a base coat of Mechanicus Standard Grey, shaded with nuln oil, and then highlighted in progressively lighter layers by adding Cadian Fleshtone to the grey. The standard gorillorcs 2 highlights, the Brute has 4 (with pure Cadian fleshtone used as a final point highlight on the face) As usual, C+C welcome! 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vastus Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Looks great, less armor on the Brutes is definitely the way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodapollo4 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 This is a fantastic project! I can't wait to see whatelse you can gorilla-up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonAnka Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Oh. I saw this same conversion a couple years ago with Savage Orcs and gs furs. Let me see if i can find the original post. Edited January 7, 2019 by VonAnka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonAnka Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Update to my former comment. It seems it was on TWF, which we all know doesn't exist anymore after GW faction name changing. And i don't have any saved pics anymore. But the the post was from before 2012. Either way, spend a little more time sculpting the fur and on the paint job and your will succeed his, i'm sure of it. Edit: Here's another one doing Gorilla conversion - Edited January 7, 2019 by VonAnka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
