i like the aobr nobs for this very reason, they stand like a normal person.

i can try converting them or slapping torsos on alternate legs but i cant model my own legs.
any ideas on what to try?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5377763.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5377763.page GMT orks have bad posture - i need some help http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5378301.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5378301.page GMT orks have bad posture - i need some help

They're much the same size, but I just feel the upright one looks more imposing than the hunched ones. I think it's the legs more than anything, Ork legs have always looked off and a bit silly to me. They look like the legs of a gorilla, I get that... but gorillas knuckle walk, Orks don't, it just looks unnatural. Even then, they don't just look like gorilla legs, the angles look like exaggerated gorilla legs.

As for converting your own orks to look like that. It's going to take you forever, and for metal orks or even just plastic/resin orks with a lot of detail around their legs, it may be damned near impossible (if not impossible, extremely difficult). If you could do it, I'd applaud you though ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5380119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5380119.page GMT orks have bad posture - i need some help http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5380309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5380309.page GMT Re:orks have bad posture - i need some help i was wondering how they look side by side with a GW ork.

i already have a bunch of mantic forgefathers so its not out of the realm of possibility to grab a dual box ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5380343.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5380343.page GMT Re:orks have bad posture - i need some help GW very well, at least in my opinion. A cursory Google image search only netted a few direct Mantic to GW comparisons, only one of which was actually orc to orc. They're both fantasy versions, though, with the Mantic model being distinctly more hunched over (and, therefore, shorter) than the few Marauders I have. The discrepancy is more pronounced when comparing Warpath and 40K models.

That's the thing though, in the current codex Orks are described as walking with their knuckles almost brushing the ground, and being more ape-like than man-like. Plus, the silly look is part of the fact that the Orks are the comedy army of 40K. Until the SoB were turned into sissies. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5382183.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5382183.page GMT orks have bad posture - i need some help

They're described as that, but the actual model are carrying guns/axes/shields, which is why I think it looks unnatural ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5382353.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5382353.page GMT orks have bad posture - i need some help

True, but have one weapon facing downwards and it's better. Or make shoota boyz.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5382653.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513360/5382653.page GMT Re:orks have bad posture - i need some help

And their penmanship! Don't get me started on their penmanship!


OK, seriously:

I would look at the Kromlech ork legs. They have running legs, and kneeling legs. Especially if you mix them up, I think these might help you some. Also, as much as I like storag's orks, they are a lot of work. However, you might notice that he also 'poses' his orks a lot, with legs up on rocks, etc.

With a combination of different legs, and some different poses, you might be able to get your orks to have a little less 'silly walk' syndrome. I like the way they look, myself, but to each his own.
