I am currently making a light conversion of the aobr ork lord into a thousand sons tzeentch pawn.

my question is simple. wanting to be true to the warhammer universe i would like to ask:

Would such a possesion be possible? perhaps making the ork believe he is fighting for gork (or mork).




in game im thinking he will count as a terminator lord with a bloodfeeder deamon weapon. and combi weapon.

I've always been a fan of this kind of conversion. As long as your model looks good and the 'counts as' rule isn't broken then you're in the clear.

Fluffwise there isn't much stoping this from happening. You might see some people say that an Ork is too stubborn to be possessed, or you might hear some long shot argument about the Orks latent psychic abilites stopping this from happening. But if your figure is unique and painted well enough to give the impression that this is in fact what's happening I think even those people would except it. Getting people to believe it is all about how the model looks.

What ComputerGeek01 said.

And i'm one of those folks that think that Orks are imune to the lure of chaos.

Mvh.

Orks can be Chaosed - check out the Daemonhunters codex for a nice picture of a bunch of Orks that are being mutated into something nastier than usual, even for them. So yeah, this would be pretty cool.

I think than more than corrupted, sometimes happen...are that the Tzeentch sorceror play mind tricks on the ork, if he can stand ork's way of thinking...maybe could happen by the other way, sorceror being possessed for the WAAAAGH energy.... that can be funny

Orks are generally immune to most of the urges of chaos due to not really gaining much...

They dont see the point in tzeentches plans or slaaneshes pleasures, they are dead killy already so dont really need khorne and dont get sick so dont need nurgle.

Due to this possession is hard as there isnt a handhold for the daemon to use to possess the host but for a sorceror with enough power i would say its possible.

thx lads... I'll post a picture when he's done
