Ork Stikk Bommerz....ideas...

[GobboTeef]

I\'ve just got some aand i need some ideas for conversions to make them a bit snazzy. If you don\'t know which ones i mean--> Orkses
I think the Germans used something like these i.e. grenades with a stick attached, and does anyone know of any pics or ideas.
Much appreciated

i say just move the arms and body a bit so they look as if they are really putting their weight behind the throw

Stick bomb \'ice cream cones\'.

Hmm - depends on what you want - I\'d try to do one or two with multi head grenades (one stick and a whole bunch of grenade heads surrounding it)

Or if you feel you have the skill paint some of the grenades like beer or soft drink cans.

hehe - then you could have one throwing his can of beer drunkenly and keeping hold of the grenade

Yes, you are right, from WWI through WWII, The Germans had a version of the more regular allies Mills fragmentation grenade (The one\'s you normally see, that are reminiscent of pineapples), which was stick shaped.

To arm the grenade though (At least in the version I know of), a cap had to be unscrewed from the base of the stick - which I imagine took a great deal longer than simply pulling a pin.

Do you not like the stikk bomb models? I like them personaly.

You could always have some old school dynamite with the orks, though i think they may forget to light it.

I like the dynamite idea- you could have some lighting it via cigars
