Quite a lot of this that I'm not really happy with, but was fun to make, and a good learning experience

Nice! One bit of Constructive Criticism is the assault marines head isnt quite in position. But otherwise, great!

Its the pose of the marine that is the problem. He is struggling with the fact that he was in a semi standing pose and is now layed forward in a superman style pose but nothing about his legs or head tell that. Great first attempt and the ork has worked really well

Yeah he definitely looks a bit awkward. I did actually try cutting one up to try to make the pose better but couldn't get it right. Something to work on for the next one

cracking first attempt though well done, you clearly understand what to do and how to improve it which is what matters

Awesome, the expression on the Orks face made me laugh

I'm looking forward to your next attempt. Like lukewild said, you obviously have a proper sense of things, you just need to mess around a bit until your technical skills catch up. Once you can fine-tune the poses comfortably you'll be golden. Even so, it's not a bad little vignette. You could do much worse for a "learning experience."

I think I know how you can make it less awkward...put the ultramarine on the ground, and have the ork in the air. You would literally just be switching who is glued to the base, and it would look like the ultramarine is just calmly sawing the ork in half like a boss

Most dioramas fail utterly at achieving any real sense of action. This is the first I've seen in a long time that tries to look like a single moment of a running sequence. I know you weren't totally happy with the end results, but you're definitely on the right track! I'd sincerely like to see more dioramas from you.

Wow thanks for the nice words! Never expected that haha. Definitely encouraging me to keep messing about with stuff like this

not bad, i like what you did with the gore there, only thing is the position of the marines legs look unnatural

no way is this scenario realistic, orks da best!

This looks epic!

Thats pretty cool, but I personally would like to see the Ork Stompin the marine.

Orks always beat da 'ummies (sorry for my bad ork) but it looks ok to me, I kinda wanna know what you did to get that blood dripping from the orks neck
