More Boar Boyz....

 Yea I definitely liked the looks of the guy above.  If I was still doing more of these I would have to do more of that mail armor. More stowage.




This one uses a head form Max Mini.  Thought it was an appropriate head and it was well made by there skill sculptors.


That's it for these....project is aborted....on to the new projects.

More of those Orky Razorback Riders

 Yeee! Haaa!
 As typical there are some areas on these plastic models that always need a bit of adjustment, and that would be the seams.  You really need to take some time and fill those seams areas.

 Yea no arm on this guy.  As I said these are going to a new home.


 As I was doing these, some of them just jump out at you as you throw down a bunch of ideas in a flurry of excitement.  The one below is like that.  I'll have some more pics of him later...
 Added some armor to the snout on this one like that older command model boar or should I say boring model.

 Yea sure goblins are also suitable for having their heads removed from their bodies.....

Waaagghhhh Suey!!

That's right its the boar boyz in various incomplete stages.  I was working on these just prior to my surgery.  As usual, I wanted every model to be unique.  The models are already pretty dynamic, but I was looking for that sort of feral Lord of the Rings Warg riders.  If I was keeping these I would be doing a bunch more work on them to make them more unique, but these are spoken for by a buddy of mine. 

So onward.  That means, spikes, trophies, hooks, food, fur, mail, armor plates.....am I missing anything...



 Oh yea more weapons...
 This one has a head by Spell Crow....


And as always....well you know....

Black Orc War Boss WIP

I've said this before, but once and awhile you build what you think is a cool model.

Then the more you look at it, the more you dislike it. When I started this model, I hadn't had the new boars on hand.


I just had this pig, well actually, three of these pigs. Not a very nice model.

I'm okay with the conversion, but not not with the boar....errrr...pig.


So this is the first model in my orc army that I rejected. I'll replace it with a model on the new boar. This old one is just not very good and won't cut it for my new army.

War Boss on the new plastic Boar

I've been wanting to work with these new boars since I saw them come out. They are very dynamic in pose, much better than the old ones and much better than the current Warboss Kit.

This boss was built on commission for the same person who commissioned the two shamen and two VC Orc boy units.


I decided to us the black orc torso with the armored legs of the normal boar riders.

That means covering the joins of the legs to the blorc body. Covered that with armor plates and mail.

I decided to add a bunch of glyphs as you see on the model's helmet, elbow, sword, and shoulder.

To continue the whole battling of the undead them, I put a broken tombstone on the base. This I will use again with the Wolf Riders.


I do like how the armor plating looks on the boar's head. I'm definitely planning to do some more of that.


Also when you do not use the boar rider arms, you will need to add some fur on the ridge of the boar's back.
