Hey everyone, I am building a space marine-ork. I need your advice on the legs, I want the legs to stick with the SM feel but standard SM legs are way out of proportion.
I was thinking maybe termi legs but I need your advice.
P.S. I know there is too much glue but some spilled and i cleaned it up as best I could until my new files come in.

Personally I would go with either Termi legs or just normal Ork legs, but either way, stick loads of random plating on them, gotta Ork those bad boys up good and proper.

The Boltgun hand looks a bit to big.

And if you need a file, just ask, mate! I have a few hundred.

I'd suggest Obliterators, as they have the right pose and proportions for a large Ork. Unfortunately, they'd be covered in too many Chaos icons and other gribbly bits. Unless you could get a finecast set of legs.

I agree with Chowderhead, the boltgun hand is a bit big. Do you have any greenstuff you can use to bulk out the forearm with to make it more in proportion?

Other than that I think it'll look great when you're finished.

Thanks for the replies guys. The boltgun hand is the right one for that arm, I just cut the gun off so in theory, the forearm should be in proportion. I will probably get some obliterator legs and mod them to look more orky, or just bulk up some standard boys legs.
