Very cool, loving the little guys hat. i am just wondering? are you still giving him eavy armour, or will you just leave him as he is?
and also, where will his shoota/slugga go? on his back? in a holster?
just wondering

p.s i am thinking of doing something similar with either
This model or
this model
as a base. any suggestions?
Regarding armor, I originally had some planned but I don\'t want to cover up the musculature at this point because I like the way it looks too much. Plus, I sort\'ve like the armorless approach anyway - an assertion of how tough he is.
I have absolutely no idea where the guns will go on this guy. I\'ve contemplated making them slung underneath his gauntlets like Calgar\'s are, but I don\'t know where to put the ammo feeds to if I do that.
Regarding the models you linked... The Basilisk would not be a good choice at all. The anatomy\'s all wrong (double-jointed knees?) and I don\'t think it\'d be worth the trouble.
The Rhinodon is awesome, but you\'d have a lot of sculpting cut out for you if you wanted to do that. You\'d have to ditch the head entirely and resurface the textured parts of the skin to look... well, less like a Squiggoth. There\'s also the matter of the tail.
Skulhamma over at The-Waaagh.com forums used a different Troll model for his warboss. You can take a look at it:

Taking care of that as we speak.
Alright fellas, I need a hand here. I\'m feeling rather conflicted as to what I want to do to his machine-arm.
Let\'s ignore the wiring for a second, since it\'ll be going on there for certain - from the inside of the gauntlet by the elbow up into the muscles on the upper arm.
Now, I\'m trying to think about what I want to do with these gauntlets. Part of me is fine keeping it simple - just add a couple extra rivets around the edges, maybe a couple dings, dents, and scrapes, and call it a day. It\'d end up being painted probably like darker iron.
Another part of me is considering adding vents and exhausts in some manner, but I\'m having trouble picturing where or how. I was digging through Deviantart for ideas and came up with
this which is interesting, though I wouldn\'t copy any features past the forearm - Gargrim\'s going to be relatively unarmored, and I refuse to cover up much of Noze\'s sculpting with more machinery. I\'m thinking I could probably put big lateral vents on it that might be a spot to try OSL on to show light from the inside like that picture, though judging by how that turned out last time on my Warphead\'s base it\'d be less than impressive.
What do you all think? I feel a bit silly that I\'m stuck with a bit of modeller\'s block this late in the game, but I\'m trying to figure out where I want to go with them
now, before I permanently attach the gauntlets and hands, because it\'s so much easier to work on them while they\'re loose from the model.
