im going to take some pics now. i made 3 already

1 is complete. its supposed to be an orc shaman with a fire blade instead of the staff

the second 1, i only add him a helmet

the third one its half done, im changing it so i can use it as an Orc Banner bearer

Chris · **Posted:** Tue Nov 01, 2011 11:05 am

i made some huge change's on my orc shaman conversion, i think i can call him that at least lol
i post some photos in 1 hour

Chris · **Posted:** Tue Nov 01, 2011 12:10 pm

here is my orc shaman conversion again, i change him, my first try got him a little fat lol with that huge robe. so now it has only some low changes, and i paint him a little just to show better his appearence

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Tue Nov 01, 2011 11:30 pm

very nice,but shouldn't he have a spear?

Meneldil · **Posted:** Tue Nov 01, 2011 11:59 pm

Very nice conversion, the blue piece of cloth looks good!

I think once you have painted the fire sword he will really have the appearance of a shaman.

Chris · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 12:03 am

i have him finish :s only the base is missing, but im thinking about what GothmogtheWerewolf said....maybe with a spear (staff) like the "oficial" orc shaman would look better? i will post the pic of my mini painted tomorrow then with the fire blade to see what u guys think about it

i dont post it now, cuz its night here and i have poor light

Chris · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 11:52 am

here it is 100% complete, i think it looks good

and about the spear well i wanted my own shaman, different, so i got him a fire blade, well it looks like a magician weapon anyway with the fire on it and the new cloth i made. well it looks like a rogue now so i think it is close to a shaman lol

i took several pic's so u guys can see it well

my next work it is wargs, i want an army of 30 wargs riders at least, im creating some molds right now (its going well!!!!) if i get it right i will get a good mold to create a lot of wargs by my own

cheaper then buy them loooool

Chris · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 12:47 pm

and here they are, my warg molds, simple and easy, and maybe its not possible to see it but it is realy detailed

1 side body

the other side body, and 1 side of his head

and the last other side of his head

now i have to wait 2 days at least to have them hard like a rock, and it will be easy to create a warg with this if it works well, with the 3 pieces done its simple to join then and i can use kneadatite to shape then as a perfect warg

lorderkenbrand · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 1:47 pm

Very nice work! I'm interested in your warg molds in particular, what material did you use for the mold? Are you planning on using white plaster or something else entirely? Keep us updated!

Chris · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 2:07 pm

for the moldes im using a material like kneadatite, based on polyacetate and plastic.. it is similiar as kneadatite, it is used to create imitation jewelry, that looks like plastic, its realy hard as a rock after 2 days, i use this material on my conversions, its soft and easy to work with and take 2 days to get hard.

I threw against the wall a miniature made of this material, and nothing happened, it was a test to see the hardness XD

I will use the same material to make the Wargs, and Vaseline on the molds so when i fill it up it doesnt stick the mold, and then i have to wait until its hard

the real test will be trying to make the wargs come out, i hope they doesnt stick to the mold much... i think the vaseline will do the job

edit: the warg im using it is made of plastic, it is realy detailed so its a good warg to use,it is the best for this test, because a metal warg has a lot of details with sharp edges and that will destroy ur mold when ur trying to pull it off, the plastic warg has soft details so its easy to work with, it wont damage your mold when your pulling it off

i will post some pic's of the warg im using later

i will post every step!

@Chris about the spear. If you want to use it in SBG it wil need to be armed with a spear as it i son their profile, but other than that, go for it.

Oh and a bout the wargs, is the total price of that not more than the cost of simply buying another box of wargs?

Chris · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 12:13 am

GothmogtheWerewolf i didnt know for sure if it was needed a spear to be an "official shaman" i change it when i have some time..thank you for the info

about the wargs i already said that it is cheaper make then on my own then buy them, here it is ---> "i will get a good mold to create a lot of wargs by my own

cheaper then buy them loooool"

but its ok, first of all lotr figures are almost extinct lol, so no its not that simple buy them easy as that, you should know that, only at ebay and some leftovers on some shops, and even in ebay i doubt you can get 30 wargs... (i want 30 wargs and 50 horses)

the material i use (and it is a realy good material) cost me 1.50€ (1 bag) with 1 bag i already measure it, i can do 8 - 9 wards

6 wargs at ebay + shipping costs = 8€ 6 wargs

so it is cheap make them by my own ^^

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 12:22 am

Sounds like a good way to get cheap wargs (and horses) then, but what're you going to do about the riders? the same?
