A tiny helping hand
I got a start on Gargrim's diminutive gretchin companion, Urk. (Again, for those of you who haven't read my ork background fluff yet, I suggest you read it, this will make much more sense.)
I knew I went out of my way to get that Gamesday 07 Ork Boss for a reason.
These guys.
The 'boss' is going to be one of my Nobz. I was digging through my bin of grots looking for the appropriate little helper for Gargrim, and the gretchin with his arms folded stood out front and center.
So! I set about a little bit of work with my jeweller's saw. I cut the 'cloth' between his legs away so I could bend his legs up into a sitting position; this will be resculpted lying flat on the top of the boss's shoulder. I also cut away the horns on the helmet, and I cut an angled slice out of the back of the helmet. I'm going to be resculpting over the existing helmet, giving the tiny little dude a commissar hat.
He obviously needs some cleaning up, but you can get an idea of what I'm going for. I think he's perfect for the job.
