Thank you! Yes, that's a classic sculpt that I really like. The empire guys from the same starter are also pretty nice. A bit soft on the details but great designs

These models were released 26 years apart, but I feel like they are similar enough that they can still hang together and not look too strange. More thoughts in the alt text. #orks #armageddon #warhammer40k #warhammertheoldworld #mordheim #orcs #orcsandgoblins #warhammercommunity #warhammer

2000 is definitely not when I painted the old orc. I was starting high school that year and while I had seen Warhammer a year before in a visit to France, it hadn't made its way to Romania yet. I was also feeling pretty mature about myself and not interested in toys at all.

Here are a few thoughts on new vs old:

Obviously, the tooling is much better now. The moldline and undercuts are much subtler on the modern sculpts. The new one had many more details which I just removed. I enlarged the eyes on the old one so I could paint them easier.

Body type: I do prefer the gorilla anatomy of the old model, with its longer arms and shorter feet. They are mushroom creatures so it feels correct when they have stranger anatomy.

Heads: I might prefer the new heads. Orcs released in the last few years have looked really vicious and feral, but these new ones are a bit goofy again, which is a big plus for me and the first thing that made me interested in them.

Hands: The hands are just a bit smaller to the point they are almost interchangeable, depending on your OCD.

Weapons: I like that they've made the weapons smaller. I think it makes the orcs seem larger in comparison.

My ideal old world orc for when GW does them?
Go back to the gorilla anatomy, but most importantly make the faces goofy!

Here is the first converted 40K Armageddon boy, now painted. Half way through painting I decided to shave off the metal things on the shoes as they still looked too high tech. Painting wise I am pretty happy except for the shield. I think the stretch lines don't really work. #warhammer #mordheim

Here's the complete unit! All of them are converted from the new 40K Armageddon set. I had to shift them around a bit but now they mostly rank up in any order. I gave the champion a rock to stand on as he looks a bit short otherwise. #orks #armageddon #warhammer40k #warhammertheoldworld #mordheim

Thanks so much! I need to reposition them on the bases a bit so the rank up and then i will post a picture

Here is the champion! I was planning to make him a musician holding a blowing horn, but changed my mind last minute as I thought the helmet I sculpted was more fitting for a champ. The severed heads are from the old stormvermin kit. #orks #armageddon #warhammer40k #warhammertheoldworld #mordheim

Here's no. 4! I was going to put a shield in the left hand, but the pose looked a bit awkward, so I decided a two-handed weapon worked better. Sculpting hands is challenging, but I welcome it. #orks #armageddon #warhammer40k #warhammertheoldworld #mordheim

Here's how the first 3 rank up. With a bit of strategic repositioning I was able to get them to work in any combination. Since my last update, I thickened the banner pole in hopes of making the hand seem smaller. #orks #armageddon #warhammer40k #warhammertheoldworld #mordheim

Here is no. 2! He's using a looted ogre gut plate as a shield. I sculpted the sword out of plasticard. I left the straps in place, but I sculpted a continuation of the shirt underneath them. #orks #armageddon #warhammer40k #warhammertheoldworld #mordheim #warhammercommunity

Here is no. 2! He's using a looted ogre gut plate as a shield. I sculpted a wider rim on it because it was pretty small.

I sculpted the sword out of plasticard, which was my first time doing it. I loved how quickly I could get to the rough shape I wanted, but it's pretty hard to see details on white so I hope I can find colored ones.

I left the straps in place, but I sculpted a continuation of the shirt underneath them.

As I am sure to get questions again, none of what I'm doing is meant to be time efficient. I am practicing sculpting and making a few orcs as I would like to paint them. Like the previous one, I also removed stuff that wasn't necessarily sci-fi: the plates on the strap, the spikes on the shoes, the gloves, even the ammo pouch could have stayed.

I think the gun made the composition more interesting, creating a nice triangle between the gun tip, the grenade head and the strap on the shoulder. Maybe I can improve mine with painting.

It's from the 6th edition fantasy set

Haha, it sure could have, i just wanted to keep it simple for painting

Trollbite Miniatures @trollbite.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I loved these Armageddon Orkz at first sight so I decided to get a few and convert them. I began by shaving off anything that looked futuristic. Then I realized there were also other things that could fit fantasy, but I didn't want to paint. #orkz #armageddon #warhammer40k #warhammertheoldworld

Finally finished! I wasn't able to get everything done for the Olden Demon competition. The halberd head was especially dull, but some other details were missing too. #warhammertheoldworld #paintingwarhammer #miniaturepainting #mordheim #ageofsigmar #warhammerfantasy #warhammercommunity #empireofman

Haha it never crossed my mind to add one

thanks so much! I think that's an easy trick to make a male face more interesting

Here is my submission to Olden Demon 2026. I was hoping to spend more time on it but life got in the way and I had to rush to get it finished last minute. #warhammertheoldworld #paintingwarhammer #miniaturepainting #mordheim #ageofsigmar #oldendemon

I would especially like to improve the halberd head, I think the flat side is the worst part. The feather needs some work too. I think the armor is pretty good though I might need to lighten up the green reflections on it quite a bit as they are too subtle.

I am very happy with what I was able to do with the face. I don't usually paint humans and this sculpt is quite soft. I was going to add the red stripes on back of the pant leg, but ran out of time. The light side of the stones should be much higher in value, but I painted the base in about 5 minutes.

A big surprise to me is that I don't hate the green base rim. I still might paint it black eventually as I will want this guy to fit my old world collection.

Almost there for Olden Demon. Still have to base it and do some cleanup. I'm not too happy about the halberd head so I might change that if I can get a better idea. #warhammertheoldworld #paintingwarhammer #miniaturepainting #mordheim #ageofsigmar #warhammerfantasy #warhammercommunity #theempire

I made a video about preparing for Olden Demon, picking an oldhammer model, figuring out a color scheme and painting a test model. At the end, there's a tutorial about doing digital mockups for different color schemes youtu.be/r-L-2mDy49g #warhammertheoldworld #paintingwarhammer #miniaturepainting

Here's a test model for the Empire. I'm painting an Empire model for the Olden Demon comp and wanted to get my scheme right. The second image shows how I like to develop my color mixes from dark to light on paper. #warhammertheoldworld #paintingwarhammer #miniaturepainting #mordheim #ageofsigmar

Here's some more sculpting practice on zombies. The head actually comes from the same 1999 (?) multi-part zombie kit as the rest of the parts, but it's very different in scale and more in line with other kits at the time #vampirecounts #mordheim #warhammertheoldworld #ageofsigmar #paintingwarhammer

Yeah, that's a shame. I really like the pink but doing more than a sleeve would be too much i think

On my train ride back home, trying to figure out an empire color scheme. It might be a lot but I think I like it this way. What province could this be? I've looked through the Uniforms and Heraldry book and there's nothing similar. Painted this over a model by paintbrush_and_pike (on IG) #warhammer
