threw this together today on a whim. took a while to find a good base but i have alot of stuff laying around.

bitz used:

Savage orc Shaman
random lizardmen serpent swarm snakes
"gobbla" from the new skarsnik box set
random squig
random bitz from the new boyz sprue
model chain

i wanted some thematics with his pose, thankfully the shaman pose is great on its own, so i didnt have to change much. added some snakes here and there, didnt want to go over the top ( salvage) but i think i get his point across. lots of pinning on this guy, and if gobbla was alive im sure he would be dead with all pins running through him. still working out the finishing touches, but i like the end result.







thanks

Damn, I LOVE Zogwort! I don't know about all the chains... I pity da ork who looks like a chaos beaky! (sorry, had to.)
I don't know that I love the rather precarious looking position on the squig. It just looks a little over the top... maybe if it was a rock, or both feet were on the squig.

Still, that looks sharp. I can't wait to fight the Deff Wing, or whatever brilliantly strange army you make with him.

nice conversion, and thankfully, it lacks those ridicoulus huge choppas on your other two Ork charakters.

the chains are defintly too much. don't forget that old zoggy's blind, maybe drill a hole or two in that head of his.

sadly, he doesnt have a choppa :(

if you need it would be at LEAST as long as his body

What strikes me a bit ist the head on his shoulder and the chains. The head looks out of place and the chains are too big a cord would've been a better solution. What I really like is the pose. I could imagine him at the front tide of critters. Very nice.

Nice work on the pose, a good ol' POINT to zzap somebody into a squig. The snakes are well positioned too, nice work.

Jumping off the big squig is kinda weird, but it gives him the height / vantage point / specialness that a rock or whatever would do too, so why not gobbla. I think you could definitely do without the second squig, and maybe shifting Zog's position on the big squig too. Not sure from the angles.

I like his beatin' stikk too, nice there. Though again I'm with Dakka in thinking the chains detract - are they there because he's supposed to be chained up by the other orks? Or to break up a fairly unchanged fantasy model?

- Salvage

To catch the blindness, paint his eyes a milky yellow/white color, with slight dark spots in the middle. That ought to make it sufficiently creepy.
A little yellow glow around the eyes might not be remiss either.

i might do a lil OSL with the eyes and mouth, showing him powering up with a fresh batch of raw waaaaghness

Ooooh or drill out the eyes and put in tiny LEDs and watch batteries.
Or, you know, something feasible. If you want to be bound by the laws of reality, I guess...

Still cooler than any of my conversions so far

i think ill have better luck with the OSL, ill be painting old zogwort for the big APOC game on the 26th, you better be there with your sisters!
