First off, the real stars of an orc team are, naturally, the blitzers. Here's my four blitzers in all their glory; using mostly Warhammer and Warhammer 40k bits, picking especially the armored torsos, I added Burna Boy heads (the two varieties with faceplates) and gave them all shoulder pads.
Next, the black orcs. These are all Gorkamorka and WH40k nobs. And yes, I know you can only have up to four of them.
I have two throwers, also using Warhammer orc parts, using the hand (with the ball in it) from the boxed set orc thrower, and using burna boy heads (the kind with the goggles.) I particularly like the one who's shouting and gesturing to his reciever to come closer. After all, it's not like the orcs are any great shakes at passing plays...
Line orcs are naturally a must for any team. I have six minis, although I've never created a roster that had more than three, and I make a point to not buy more line orcs as the season progresses.
And since orc teams can have a few goblins, who make almost capable recievers, I have two on my roster. Of course, I have enough minis to field the maximum possible, just in case I ever want to do that...
Since orcs can field goblin special weapons, I made up some conversions for some of them. Here's my ballnchain and my chainsaw. I have minis for a pogo stick and a bombardier as well, but since I don't have any plans to use them yet, I haven't done anything with them except occasionally pull them out of the plastic bag they're sitting in and think about how I'm going to pull off the conversion.
I like ogres. I understand the latest version of the rules tried to say that orcs couldn't have ogres and could only field trolls. To that, I say "UP YOURS!"
Here's two ogres that I made up for the team that I actually don't use...
And here's the ogre that I actually do use, partnered with the troll that I have used (but who is not on my current roster.) This "ogre" is made from a WH40k "Big Boss" which is an ogre sized orc. That design, along with his paint job, ensures that he looks like a supersized black orc, which was really the point.
Here's my apothecary and coach. Just for fun.
And hey, who wants to use all those st00pid cardboard counters when you could get a handful of squigs to be your reroll counters, score counters, turn markers and the like? Complete with a few herders, 'coz we all know how unruly those pesky squigs can be.
And here's the Chaos Cup. Not that I've won this this season or anything, but I think we'll start the playoffs soon...
OK, not part of my orc team, but I just finished this rat ogre for my skaven team and I really like him. I used a current WH rat ogre body, a current WH rat ogre arm (but one that belongs to a different body) and the archive Boneripper head, with that silly unicorn horn snipped off and replaced with a Kneadatite metal plate.
Again, crappy pictures, but (in my humble and modest opinion) pretty good minis anyway.
