my warboss- inspired by james\'

[rosac]

ok, so i have decided to join the green legion- orks that is- and start up a blood axe army. i have 14 boyz to paint, but they need some on to lead them, someone like:

this dude.

any suggestions for the unaltered arm, im thinking of having him beckoning, like hes on a stelff mission.

rosac

p.s this was done in paint.

 

[sg2009]

you mean this

 

[rosac]

yep, the links are unkind to me. lol

cheers sg, see you tomorow(hopefully, if its a blue moon:beer: )

cheers again, rosac

 

[rosac]

no comments...

wow...

you guys must hate paint or something...

 

[rosac]

another idea (of doom)



impaler idea 2

ignore the red spots, paint went a bit mad, but what do you think of him having a shoota?

rosac

 

[airhead]

With the large color blobs, I\'m having a real hard time understanding what you are trying to tell us..
???

 

[rosac]

idea 2 is to give him a shoota (or a combi weapon) give him trousers and an ork nob head. put a back banner over his spears, and give him an extra finger.

goddamn double posts i have found another mini as a posible base

other posible base mini

the pyre troll, leader of da flamin\' fist tribe

(i have yet tot come up with fluff, and want my warboss to be an inspiration)

any thoughts?

I think you might be trying a bit too hard to shoehorn Privateer Press stuff into 40k. The Dire Troll Mauler I\'ve been working on only kind\'ve works for it because it\'s been basically entirely resculpted. At which point, people will ask why you didn\'t just sculpt your own.

The flaming fists thing is interesting, but I think you\'d have a ton of work to do on that model for it to look even halfway right.

I think the axer light warbeast is the second most viable model in their line for use as a boss, honestly. The troll mauler is fun, but so much work to clean up, whereas the axer already has pretty orky proportions. Replace the head and add a finger to each hand and you\'ll be well on your way.

 

[rosac]

mmm..

i think you are right james...

am i trying too hard to be imaginative on this one? I would like to have an idea to call my own (hence the craxy ideas )

should i just pack it though, i personally hate the warboss gw models, and im out of ideas, as many things are to dodgily proportioned or just wrong...

rosac

EDIT: straight after saying this i stumbled across the ogre kingdom maneaters...

and this ones hammer caught my eye..

link to mini

uge chopper anyone?

I do understand the desire to have something unique, trust me. That said, I don\'t think that ogre\'s very good conversion material.

Under the category of things that might maybe be doable, let me throw these at you.

I am just guessing at scale with these, honestly. I don\'t know if they\'ll be big enough for what you want, but it\'s something you can consider.

Edit: Added some more.

I actually just accidentally stumbled upon this and it looks great:

On clearance at The Warstore:

http://www.thewarstore.com/product42786.html

The anatomy looks roughly right, the proportions look roughly right, and I think if you can remove the minotaur-looking head, you\'ll have a warboss on your hands. He\'s even got grots in cages on himself.

 

[rosac]

dammit, i just found this:

base mini

and you went and beat it

im definitely going for your one tho.

cheers

rosac

edit: anyone know of a way to get this thing to the uk?

im going to california (LA) in a couple of months, but dont want to be rude when we are visiting my uncle.

 

[jamsessionein]

I actually bought one for myself from the warstore just a few minutes ago. I won\'t lie, I mostly wanted it for the grots in cages on him. I\'m making a gigantic Shokk Attack Gun, and those little dudes would make perfect ammunition \'shells\' for it.

Actually, Rosac: I was planning on just putting an ork head on it and ebaying it as a warboss to try and recoup the costs, but if you want I\'d be happy to work out an arrangement whereby I mail the boss-ish model your way for a bit of cash, seeing as I don\'t need even more warbosses. I\'d be keeping the snotlings and gobbo, though

 

[rosac]

lol, im not to sure, but ill think about it, I want the whole thing too lol

ill look on the rackham site, as it could be cheaper for both of us to just have it sent from the factory in france to britain.

cheers for the offer

rosac

EDIT: damn.

its certainly cheaper, but takes 25+ working days to arrive (before delays!)

no chance lol

Well, I\'d be happy to mail you the one I end up getting for.. say, $23 USD, shipped. I think that\'s like 13 pounds with our current exchange. You\'d get the model to work from, though I\'d keep the little caged grots and the sidekick wizard-grot.
