BANZAAAGH!

Just put together a quick mock up for my Savage Orc unit filler. Naturally the Big Stabba makes so much sense as a unit filler, so with the Savage Orc Boar Boyz legs this was dead easy. I will toy with the angles and height some more, and ofc green stuff the other hand holes on the back of the stick, but I think it works! Perhaps inspired by an axe wielding Denton in Reign of Fire.

Savage Orc Boss progress & Boar Boyz

With green stuff at hand I keep on tinkering with my Savage Orc Boss conversion. Fur trim is probably the easiest thing I will be sculpting and adding to my models for this army, in this case it’s added to the ankle and wrist bindings. More importantly is the next stage of work for his tattered skirt/loincloth; I've added another layer to this, building onto of the basic frame work I had already sculpted. This step involves: a small ball of green stuff rolled out flat, some tattered shapes cut away from this with a sharp scalpel and then the whole piece being blended onto the first layer on the model. It is easy to curve the overhanging shapes to add further movement to the clothing.

When I pick this model up again I may be adding plenty of adornments; feathers, bones, piercings perhaps.

                                                                      

Also under way are my Boar Boyz, so far with Savage Orc Spears added and a touch of green stuffing on the boars. The standard top has been redone with some random additions for a more jungle savage vibe. Savage Orc shields will also be added, but for now these models, the Rider, Boar, and Shield will be painted seperately for accessability.

Here come the boyz!

First up, the regular Boyz. I salvaged together a few ranks cleaning up old ones and removing any inappropriate arms. The greatest fun of building a unit naturally is converting up the command models from the best bits you can find on the sprues and in your bits box. No exception here with 3 gnarled veterans filled with character I think. The Savage orc boar boy standard is rather strange being held up in the air, so I added in part of an old spear to balance the standard on the ground. I built up my first seven with a variety of ragtag weapon options, as I gain more savage orc spears and weapons the unit will be completed and added to.
