Cleanup’s done?
Had a bit more time to dremel away at things. I've shaved all of the spikes off the back and tried to leave the musculature intact, though it's a difficult task as the body's muscles seem so random and wonky in some places. I'm pretty sure the back will be a fairly large sculpting job - Dremelled the other arm down. The only spikes left are on the edges of the face.
Got a couple of different angle shots, as well.
I've been looking a lot at a warboss model on CoolMiniorNot I've been enamored with - Ragnar Skulleater. The mini in that is pretty much inquisitor-scale, but I see a lot of similarities in general body structure. Though of course I am not nearly anything of an accomplished sculptor, I've been thinking about what I want to do with this model. I'd like to sculpt pants on him, really - I've been thinking I might be able to do it, actually, if I try doing something along the same lines as that Skullork miniature has - just the upper leg, and the rest is boot. Same with the shirt - it'd be nice to have, but I'm not sure I could sculpt anything that looks even reasonably close...
Still, it's given me a bit of inspiration. Looking at that power klaw, I really like the design - it looks dangerous enough, to be sure. It actually reminded me of the power klaw that one of the Inquisitor models weilds - Witch Hunter Tyrus.
Take a look at the bit on GW's bits page. I'm not sure if it's too big, but it might be a decent foundation for a looted power klaw.
