Here is a squad of 20 Snakebite themed Ork boyz I did up. I used the bodies from the Feral Orc fantasy kit and just glued guns on to them. I've been at this for a bit but am still a beginner because I don't spend as much time with it as I might like to sometimes. Anyway, here they are and let me know what you think!









Any C&C would be appreciated!

My only suggestion would be to use a slightly darker green wash to really bring out the detail in the skin. Painting ork flesh is a true treat, and those orks are perfect to show off your green pride.

All in all though, its very refreshing to see some Snakebitez. Probably the least used clan of orkz, so its definitely great to see any of them on the table. This is especially true as the savage orc kit looks great and makes for some very 'excited' looking orks.

Really nice conversion idea, I approve it.

Love the concept, and it's easy too!
Wash those boyz to get some more detail out of them.

I certainly thought about washing them down again and I still might! But in real life they look much darker than they do in those pictures. My camera isn't great, so I apologize for that :(

Thanks everyone for the comments

Awesome! Great idea. They look really, really cool.

some hints for your photography, turn on any macro settings you can find on the camera, it allows for close up details
second, play about with lighting till it looks good on screen, sometimes you want the light to reflect off a dull surface.

third, awesome idea for a feral army concept. looking forward to any additions to this (Big spear turned into big rokkit?XD)
