Need some more Ork conversions in your life? Check out the Orkish Mad Max list from a while back! Each conversion was a labor of love from a creative fan!


Hello everyone! Brandon here from GMM Studios with a little blast from the past, Adepticon style!

Mad Morks Conversion Army

I’ve been going to Adepticon for years now. Every year I try to top or at least match the year before in not only creativity, but size, quality, and charm of the army.

I tend to take 2 months or so from work and just pour myself into the project of the year right before the event. The third year I really wanted to take the theme and scale to a new level!  So without further ado, “Mad Morks.”

Check out this wasteland theme of Orks. The post-apocalyptic setting doesn’t fit in any better than the Ork faction. Everything has been looted and inspired off of the original film. Let’s take a look at some characters!

Mad Mork Himself

The most important model was, of course, Max himself.  Based off a Warmachine model with added Ork gubbinz, a pig for a doggie, and the boomerang kid Grot.

Mina Morker

Mina Morker is the Ogre Kingdoms female maneater with a swap to give her a “counts as” combi weapon, and some longer hair.  Sexy, no?

Master Blaster

Master Blaster is again, a Warmachine model with scratch built platform and a Forge World Grot for the Master.

Post Apocalyptic Trukks

The trukks are simply the two Forge World kits spliced together. Orks were sprinkled on top for good measure.

No Ork (or Mad Max) army would be complete without an arsenal of unique trukks. Each model looks like it was the brainchild of some overly-excited Big Mek.

The Tanker

What do Post Apocalyptic communities need to survive? What makes fantastic currency? Fuel of course! This is one of the “centerpiece” models in the list. Trukks and Orks from all sizes gather to protect this behemoth.

The tanker is my favorite vehicle in this army.  The tank itself is all scratch except for the wheels. It’s actually PVC pipe with lots of plasticard!

Two completely unique “Battlewagon” models were the main dakkapower and driving force of the operation.

These kits were primarily Forge World Battlewagons with a dusting of some extra Orks on top!

Homegrown Buggies

Buggies were made to look like some Orks threw scraps together and called it a day. Good scraps are ‘ard to come by in the Wasteland!

These Buggy models may be old, but they still outshine the detail of GW’s newer models. Each one is a one-of-a-kind creation.

Apocalyptic Legwork

Lastly, would you believe that the Boyz in the army weren’t even made from a single full kit? Every model is a spliced creation of random bits from aftermarket brands!

Armies that got the extra mile to bring otherworldly detail into the smallest minis like Troops are what keeps the hobby spirit alive. These are the kinds of armies that stand the test of time and people think back to for inspiration.
