Armoured Orcs

Every once and a while I add some more orc conversions to my 1/32 scale orc fantasy army.
Way back, in the mists of time, Plastic Warrior magazine had an article on converting 60mm Citadel plastic orcs into cavalry. The author utilized cheapo Hong Kong dinosaurs with matchstick or toothpick bits and chains. This inspired me to make some of my own.

The one below has a converted Hulk with putty should pieces with impressed sequins, DSG shield and bits and pieces of old jewelry that once belonged to my mother. I don't know if Mum would have approved but it has been repurposed to new glory!

 I like these dinosaurs with wide open mouths. I added a putty tongue, chain, girth belt, bridal and reins. The bit is made of brass wire. The orc's chest piece is a Warhammer goblin? shield.

   The other mounted figures were made a number of years back, using the same kind of carnivorous looking mini-triceratops.

  Here is the converted Temu ogre. I added rust to the armour and I am reasonably happy with the result.

Picture quality is not great as I forgot to use the flash. Oh well, next time I'll include the new orc cavalry bloke painted and use a flash or photograph outside.

  For rules I'd use something similar to Warhammer fantasy rules for Dark Elves Cold Ones.
