Most of the Kommando models were converted, as Games Workshop don't currently make any. To fit in with the back-stabbing nature of Kommandos, they are all armed with swords or knives. These are assorted weapons from both the Ork and Orc sprues. I used Ork swords and the small Orc dagger. The Kaptin had his weapon swapped. I took the knife with the square hilt from the Ork sprue and the arm with the small dagger from the Orc sprue, removed the dagger, removed the handle from the knife and then glued the knife where the dagger was. This made a suitably impressive weapon for the Kaptin to stab someone with. The Kaptin and two of his Boyz were also given military head-gear. Where most of the Boyz had plain helmeted heads, two boyz had bald heads and the Kaptin had the scarred eye head. Using Green Stuff, I modelled berrets onto the Boyz and a military peaked cap onto the Kaptin. To make the small visor on the cap I used a tiny piece of thin plastic, pushed into position using tweezers.
The paint scheme for the Kommandos differed from the resst of the army. As Kommandos, they are inclined to wear cammoflague, but as Orks they don't understand it fully. As such, the two cammo schemes don't match. The trousers were painted in City cammo of grey with white and black patterns, while their shirts were painted a very pale grey (the old Elf Grey) with black and brown patterns. The schemes are shown below. Each Ork was also given red face paint, using Red Gore highlighted with Blood Red. The same Red Gore colour was also used for the two berrets and the stripe around the Kaptins cap.
