He looks awesome! I really liked how smooth the transisations between the highlights are on him.

Great work, Gunslinger! I worked my way through your WIP and really liked what I saw, heavens know why I didn't look into this before...

Hi,

@Matt: I'm very glad you discovered my thread-I like your miniatures very much, it's great to hear that you appreciate mine too

I started a new major project, after my uruks are almost complete! This mini is a hint towards the subject of this new project!
I was able to get myself this Golfimbul thanks to the kindest spectre I ever met in the marshes and decided, that he needed a different mount as this kinda static plastic warg that comes in the blister. After browsing the web, I found pictures of someone who used the grim warg as mount for this orc captain. However this person, didn't do any adjustments to the mini to fit it together in a more realistic way! There were large gaps between the legs of the orc and the sides of the warg, also I found that Golfimbul needed a sattle rather than sitting on the wargs mane. I cut out a triangular piece of the back with a metal saw (around 0.5 cm*1cm) an dann added a bit of fur, a kind of blanket underneath the saddle, the saddle itself and the belts. I also modified Golfimbuls legs, by bending them a little bit with tweezers and adding a little bit of volume with procreate! I also repositioned the head, so that the warg and the rider look in the same direction (more or less). This conversion was also the first time I tried Procreate, which really is an excellent putty, with characteristics that I prefer to GS. But for some jobs GS is still the better thing so I used both

After lots of blabla, here are the pictures:







The painted version will follow soon, but first I got to work a little on my march entry for the painting contest!

Looking pretty cool already! Better than the actual model!

Wow that looks great! I collected Golfimbul years ago but I never painted him. I recently traded for the warg chieftain with the view of using him as a mount. Now you've handed me a blueprint for the perfect Golfimbul. Thanks!

Nice job on this conversion. I look forward to seeing him painted up.

Nice conversion will look amazing painted up

Great idea and well executed conversion, savage looking piece.

Cool conversion. I'm sure it is going to come out great!

The conversion looks great but I have a strong liking of the base. I dont like the wargs, i cant say why i just dont like the models. i must admit thuogh that this will be one to watch.

Nice putty work. The fur is particularly well done.
