The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

High five!

I let the putty harden for about 24 hours and tried carving into it a bit. The results were a bit... poor. DAS is okay for getting a rocky covering, but you can't carve much texture into it.

I scratched my noggin for a little while, and dug through my garage. I found a spray can that's supposed to spray a stucco-ish texture onto walls for painting purposes, so I sprayed the whole fist down in it, grabbed a sponge, and tried roughing the surface up a bit so there might be something to drybrush on later.

This is what I ended up with:

 

It's okay. It's not quite got the hard, rocky angles that I originally envisioned the fist to have, but I guess it works. I grabbed a saw and cut a bit off the front of the fist so it sat 'deeper' into the crater. I secured it to the base with about 4 screws, sticking up into it at different angles so that it couldn't possibly wiggle itself loose. Then, all that was left was to grab a brush and give it a quick painting.

 

Trying to just be quick and dirty with most of this, really, since I wasn't sure how it'd come out, so I basically primed and drybrushed it about a bit with some awfully grimy folk art colors that I had in my basement. Seems to have worked okay though - it's enough to get the idea across, anyway. I'm probably not going to work too much harder on this one, though I've been thinking it might be a fun piece to keep handy on my desk to practice painting glyphs on. Orky faces graffitti'd into the sides, or stuff like 'CRUSH DA UMIES' scrawled on it in paint or something.

Either way, it's enough for now.   I'd be lucky if I got even one of these to hit the board to begin with, let alone not on my own boyz!
