The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

He’s gone green!

So, let's dig this up.

I did do a fair bit of work on this project before I realized I was in a bit over my head; none of the heads I had in my bitz bins were even close to right for this gigantic body, and a lot of the musculature that I had dremelled to shape needed a fair bit of resurfacing.

For this, I went to my good buddy Nozeminer over at The-Waaagh forums. Noze is a talented sculptor with an eye for detail and I managed to get him to agree to help me with the project. Off the boss went, with my fingers crossed.

I got the boss back today, and I have to say he did an astonishing job. He smoothed over and redefined all of the musculature on the boss's back, and sculpted a brand new face for the warboss that looks much orkier than the preexisting troll head. I have to share it because of how great he looks.

 

Here he is with an average marine:

He may not have any forearms or hands yet, but I'm pretty sure he could bludgeon the marine to death with the stumps if he wanted to.

Noze added in some fangs on the lower jaw, but they broke off in shipping and I couldn't locate them in the box. This isn't such a huge issue, as I'll simply carve some new replacements out of styrene.

Now for those of you who might not be understanding the forearms thing, the reason the sculpting stopped there is because I intend on manufacturing a pair of gigantic bionic arms and fists that join onto the body at around the elbow area. This will probably not be coming immediately just because I want to finish one other project I'm working on at the moment first, but aside from that it's at the top of my to-do list, because I very badly want to paint this fella up.
