Fully clothing this Ork was a very fun and interesting challenge I am very glad I did it. If any other students care for a bit of a challenge I would definitely recommend trying to give your Ork more clothes than what the course recommends, makes the final product more satisfying I think. All I need to do now is give my boy a Shoota and a Choppa and he will be one happy Ork.

I have no idea what a Shoota or a Choppa is⌠I donât think itâs the âget to the âŚâ type.
But nice sculpt.

Iâve not heard of a Shoota, but a Choppa, according to the Urban Dictionary, is âalso referred to as Ak-47. The Ak-47 makes a distinctive noise when fired, Some say itâs a chopping noise.â Thatâs probably where it got the name Choppa.

I donât imagine an Orc would be packing âheatâ like thatâŚ

Ok I wanted that to be just like an inside nod to people who know about this stuff but I guess Ill just say it. Its really very simple, a Shoota is just an Ork gun, and a Choppa is just an Ork axe. The reason I said Shoota and Choppa was because no self-respecting Ork would ever say Gun or Axe, thatâs ooman speak (ooman is just human, I donât want more confusion). Orks in this universe have very exaggerated British accents, so it is the non-rhotic âshootaâ not âshooter,â on top of that Orks are not very smart so in their minds if they say it âshootaâ it must be spelt that way. For reference here are some Ork voice lines from a very good (and old) video game.
Now I believe I have successfully over-explain my inside nod to 40k lore
Tl;dr
Shoota and Choppa mean gun and axe in ork
My friend summed it up best I think âshoot-a (something to shoot with) chopp-a (something to chop with)â

I well dor mar best nort ta tarlk in thart âBritishââ then.
Perhaps lowest possible class inner London, criminal like, largely brain dead, IQ in the negative, accent might be a better description. Perfect Orc.
Somehow I canât see the Queen speaking in the Orc âBritishâ

This is possibly the best description of it that I have heard lol. It is usually described as âBritishâ with in the 40k community but I agree to see the Queen speak like that would be⌠interesting

Ahhhh, OK. Not being âin the knowâ had me thinking I needed to look it up in a dictionary, but @Josa_Booba is correct, as an AK-47 is quite a lot of âgunâ for an Orc to be carrying around.

He seems like Grimgor Ironhide from Totalwar Warhammer II

a fellow man of culture it would seem, though I wasnt going for any Ork specifically, all orks Mildly look the same so it doesnât surprise me you saw a resemblance

Classic Warhammer look.
Why have you chosen to have âroughâ texture, displacement, on weapons? Logically they would be normal box modelled non organic objects.

I dont think I fully understand the question. I think what you are asking is why are they sculpted and not box modeled? correct me if I am wrong about the question. I do have them box modelled separately, but I felt that the box model of the weapons seems too, perfect. I wanted the weapon to have a sort of hand crafted look to them. Ork are not great crafts man, and I felt that they looked more rough and ready this way. If you have a better solution for how to achieve this same effect let me know.
Yes, you have it. Ok you chose that effect for a reason, perfectly valid. Just a personal view that even if crudely made they would still be the usual materials, sheet metal, etc. so bashed, scratched, but not the âorganicâ type look.

I see what you are saying, but I think that i will try and stick with these models until I paint them and see how they look. I still have the boxed out version of them as a separate file so if I decide that I donât like it, I can just try again and tone back the sculpting.
Edit: it occurred to me that perhaps the picture is not doing the models much favors, I think this model is a pretty boxed out for the most part, just with smoothed edges and quite banged up maybe a second angle will help show its true shape

Of course, iâm assuming the Shoota is the gun, but I could be wrong.
