Mobbing up, armoring up
Messed around with the nob a bit more. I think I'm sufficiently satisfied with the model enough to call it done, for now. Same goes for the mob, short of a few touch-ups and tweaks here and there, honestly.
Here's the nob:
It's hard to make him bigger than the other boyz because black orcs are so huge to begin with. I figured a bosspole was the best way of doing it, so he got a nice head trophy rack. The stikkbombz just seemed to fit, too. He got little upper thigh plates to match all the other black orc bodies - cutting those little glyphs was tricky!
I didn't tinker much with his shoulders because I had a hard time fitting any additional armor over them that looked decent, thanks to the pose the arms are in. I think it looks alright, all the same. I also sort've liked leaving the tusks on this guy just so he has a bit more authority.
Here he is in the mob, so you can get an idea of what I mean about being almost the same size as a black orc.
There'll be a couple small tweaks prior to painting. Probably adding a few dags (the triangular plates) to some of the boyz shoulderpads to make them a bit more visually interesting.
