Orc and Goblin Hobbytime: Conversions

Doom Diver

So after a few weeks of no hobby (I have had train-spotting esque withdrawal symptoms!) due to my girlfriend's mum living with us I got some hobbytime in and converted up a few units I have had ideas for my new Orc and Goblin army! Ill be honest, I've been inspired by the amazing work Dorian is putting out at the moment and felt I needed to up my game (he really needs to share his pics up on here lol!) and start building conversions. So with having built and assembled a bucket of ogre units for the frostfang army I have a multitude of bitz and came up with a few ideas to make my own unique units.

So from 3 Ironblaster kits, 2 tomb king chariot kits, 3 boxes of fenrisian wolves and my bitz box I am going to build:
  • 6 Wolf Chariots
  • 3 Boar Chariots
  • 2 Rock Lobbas
  • 2 Doom Divers
I think this is pretty good going and will mean I can have my own unique units which fit the rest of my army. Im not a huge fan of the GW models above which also cost a fortune and while I haven't really saved that much I do have models I will like and use! I also spent a bit of time converting up my BSB to a suitably Orcy banner! There is still a bit of green stuff work to be done on these models, notably filling gaps and giving the Doom Diver a raised thumb giving the all clear to blast him across the battlefield.

Anyway let me know your thoughts and whether you think these conversions will be acceptable to use in a tournament!
