Here's my warboss! Like the other projects, it starts with a quick sketch.

I wanted to incorporate the banna' wava I had sitting around as well as an attack squig enjoying the ride.

Starting at the end of the project, here's my step-by-step attack squig! This was my second scuplt, and hadn't quite gotten the picture taking down. Please forgive the blurry pics.

Started with a little wire skeleton and put a clump of apoxie sculpt on it

Added legs and skinned it with greenstuff.

Then sculpted up a collar

The head was done in 3 steps

I built it up over a layer of plastic wrap so they could be painted separately

Then added bottom teeth and eyes

Then the top teeth

**delkins42**

Then the toes were added using the final angles set by the boss and his dakkagun

3 more blurry pictures to enjoy

And the squig sits on the bike like so:

And now for a picture spam!

Replaced the AK with a bolter and the skull with the warboss glyphs

Used the banner and bull skull from a fantasy kit, added nob and human skulls to the wrecking ball chain from the trukk kit

Cut the warboss in half and attached to rider legs. Gave him a propper iron gob

**delkins42**

Of course gave the bike a little fork extension, and added some engine bits

And a fender is OK if it's constructed with spikes and chainsaws

Close-ups of some bionic body parts:

Left Arm

Right Leg

Right arm and left shoulder, magnets in the back so the banner could be removed for easier storage

Right hand

Right hand again

**delkins42**

Aaaaaaaaand paint!

**VermGho5t**

that is slick delkins, what sizes of styrene rod did ya use?

**wasserrj**

I bow to your mastery of green stuff sculpting. That model is going to be the definition of boss if you paint as well as you model.

**delkins42**

Thank you for the compliment! I finished some painting... but I can't find my camera! more pics soon

**Symbio Joe**

Very, very charackterful in a "Full Throttle" kind of way.

**Reecius**

that thing is pimptacular! cant wait to see it painted

**delkins42**

After a little paint experimentation, I decided on a standard ork foodchain-color-hierarchy. The larger the ork, the darker its skin. The boss starts with a dark angel green wash over a black basecoat, while the squigs will be closer to yellow in color. The Boss's attack squig has a particularly respectable place so it is just a bit lighter than his personal gretchen assistant.
