After the boss Ironskull, it is time for the rest of the crusading orcs - this time with Bonekutta.
From the very beginning, I knew that I wanted to give him a two-handed sword - but unfortunately, his pose and grip were made with a long-handled weapon in mind, so I had to be creative. Thankfully, real swords of this size were held often by the so-called ricasso, a non-sharp part of the blade - with some parrying hooks separating it from the sharp part. It call came together to make the sword much more realistic, even if it was a crude slab of orcish metal! I made it out of plasticard and damaged it severely - this greenskin doesn't care about his weapon too much.
To make his head different from the rest, I gave him a simple helmet. Here you can also see much better the cloth that I greenstuffed on his chest - which will get a nice red cross during the painting.

Looking great! Very nice conversion work on the sword!
ReplyDeleteWielki zielony z białym mieczem. Świetny on!!!
ReplyDeleteZ wielką niecierpliwością czekam na końcowy efekt!
Po tym co napisał potsiat chyba chcę się spiąć i szybko skończyć, więc może nie trzeba będzie tak długo czekać ;)
DeleteZaiste krzyżowy. Jak któregoś z Ironskull's Boyz pomalujesz w tym miesiącu, możesz śmiało startować w Warhammer Community Painting Competition:

Dzięki! W pierwszej chwili zbyłem tą opcję jako nierealną, patrząc na moje ostatnie postępy z malowaniem ;) Ale teraz mam warsztat ustawiony i mam nawet nieco czasu, to się może udać! Rzadko kiedy temat tak pasuje. Dzięki za info, może to jest motywacja której potrzebowałem żeby wymienić greenstuff na pędzel ;)
