The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Half banner, half bludgeon

I'm definitely going to pick up some Night Goblin Fanatics for this. If nothing else, I've been wanting to put wrecking balls on my Killa Kans, so if they don't work for this project I'll at least have an alternate excuse to get 'em.

I have had a LOT of trouble with this miniature today. Firstly, the eyes in the head inexplicably stopped working. I spent a few hours today swapping out LEDs and re-soldering connections and generally messing around until I realized that the metal in the miniature itself was causing a short circuit! I've lit metal models before and never had any trouble like this - I think GW must be using a new metal formula that conducts or something, because the older metals I have definitely do not. Anyway, I wrapped one of the LED leads in electrical tape to avoid any trouble for the time being.

The whole thing isn't completely wired together yet because I've got a bit more work to do.

I wasn't sure what to do with the staff but I doodled up a couple ideas and this is the one I went with.

There's some sort of tau drone bit backing the skull that needs some detailing, too, but I think I like the way the thing looks. It's large, but it looks as though he could whack something pretty decently with it if he has to.

I like to picture him having conversations with the skull on his staff.

Anyway, more work to come.
