The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Team effort

Well, here I am with a bit of an update on this whole project.

A couple of months ago, I bought a warboss from my good buddy Gizmo that was a considerable size. He apparently sculpted the whole thing from scratch, which I found pretty impressive, and it was a really good model. I mentioned it on the main blog a while back.

I was impressed enough with his sculpting abilities that I figured I'd ask about him helping me out on this Bigboss project. It seemed to make a fair bit of sense, as I wasn't too comfortable with picking sculpting up again. So, off my warboss (Now named "Gargrim "'Uge" Mungus", as you might glean from my slowly developing army backstory) went to bonny Scotland where Gizmo began work. I get a few new pics from him on what seem to be a daily basis, which is nice, as I can give him a fair bit of feedback about things.

We've chopped both his hands off, and for good reason! I was inspired by this little bit of artwork...

I found that juicy piece of artwork at this site, and I thought it might be worth taking the boss in something of that direction. Or at least the power fist! So, off both hands went, chopped at the wrists. Gizmo's going to completely sculpt a new left hand for the boss to hold a choppa in, and when he sends the model back I'm going to plasticard up a power klaw of similar design to what you see in that image above and fit it over the stump on the right arm.

Gizmo, in the mean time, has been working on the legs. He capped off the toe of the unfinished boot and has been putting the foundations for pants onto the model's other side.

 

More folds, patchwork, and stitching will go overtop of this, and the boot's going to be capped off with the square chunky teeth like on the illustration. We're also going to remodel the cloth around his waist to sit a lot higher, and maybe cinch it with a belt.
