Subject: Ork Warboss Conversion with Snikrot

Well here's my input to the Modeling part of the forum. I fancied a change in warbossness, was getting bored of old metal models and Black reach warboss, so i made my own; from Snikrot and various nob bits, and the wreckin' ball as a weapon just seemed to make sense. Im still a big bit confused about uploading photos, so i dunno if you can actually see anything. Here's the link to the album where there all in, maybe in the distant future i will be able to upload pictures, but for now...i will suck  . Btw the photos are a bit bad, only got a 3 MP camera atmo, annoying thing is, it makes the skin tone look terrible, when i was infact fairly happy with it, but hopfully you can tell that it isn't just goblin green haha. Still, enjoy, any C + C welcome. http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-24092-7

Initially, it was just a big choppa, basically I wanted a space marine assassin, haha, but i thought that i could claim it to be either. If he holds the chain like he is in the picture, its a big choppa; he can swing it quickly while its still a ball of metal. If a holds it at the end of the chain its like its giving him momentum e.g. counting a a power klak....basically a goblin fanatic hehe

I like the cut of his jib.....err something like that. Nice conversion, very cool wrecking ball. Snikrot is already a nicely posed character, I think you added to it and made something pretty cool.

That ball and chain pose is really fantastic and very natural which makes the whole model look simply good.

The Snikrot base really works too!

I like this conversion. Especially the chain looks quite nice.
But I was wondering one thing, the chain from the wrecking ball on the trukk kit doesn't bend like what you made, and it mine seem to break if I try and twist it into a similar shape.
What chain did you use, and if you used the one from the trukk kit, then what did you do to make it bend like that?

@Spiky Norman; Think, lighter my friend, think lighter  . Basically, quickly brush the lighter over the bit you want to bend, don't hold the flame there though, and then just bend with speed. Hope that helped
