Glad to see you took my advise and handpainted the Gork and Mork on the 2 fists. LOL j/k.

Seriously though it looks fantastic! And its a shame the rags being an ultramarine banner doesnt work out because that would quite possibly make this the all-time greatest conversion ever!

An amazing job, really. Glad you posted all the WIP photos and took all the constructive criticisms into account, while still maintaining your own distinct vision and voice with this piece.

It just continually blows me away what you've done mate.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!

I can see how its tough to know when to stop with something huge like that.

You did an awesome job though, from the first concept to the finished mini. Works very well and Symbio is correct, the line up is rather impressive.

Oh an PS: It´s been said here several times, but ill do it again!! Stop complaining about your skills.

Great work Ein. Really good to see them all lined up together. It really helps to see your HQ after reading your fluff.

The only comment I would make though, is that Gargrim's eyes really do not a speck of highlighting just to lift them out and make them look less 'blank'. Other than that, superb. Now just all those lootas, bikerz, etc etc to finish!

A great finish to a great project.

I really enjoy how vibrant green your orks are.

I REALLY want to get started with my greenskins after seeing amazing projects like this come to fruition. Thanks for all of the inspiration this past year so far.

´ell, ´iss ´uss ´ows ´at a ´uy.....

<picks jaw up from floor...>

Well, this just shows what a guy can do with proper talent, and patience. That has to be the biggest warboss ever!

I mean, in the last few pics I was thikning "Wow, that grot is TINY!

Nope, the warboss is zoggin huuuuge is what!

As ever, your work is stunning Ein, this guy is prefect as the big ´urty leader.

This is something of a cross-post with the rules forum, but I just finished putting together a custom datasheet that I've been testing for the boss.

If you care to discuss it, here's the thread.

I love what you've done.. The only negative comment I have is that the warboss is completely too light.. You don't get that big and mean and stay that brightly colored..

Awsome work.

still hope you figure out a way to make his rags into an Ultramarine banner...that would be totally awesome!!

That is one super cool warboss! And the grot is sweet to!

I really like what you've done here. I never even thought of using that fig to make a warboss. It looks fantastic. My only 'concern' is that he isn't wearing enough 'armor'. Other than that it is super sweet.

He doesnt need armour, he has blubber.

He simply looks great! You've done a great job with him!

I wasn't really sure what I thought about the bright skin tone, until I saw him alongside the others.
While I personally would have gone for a somewhat darker tone, it works great when you see
them together.

If anything, you've inspired me to try something similar for my grotzmen. Orks use grotz in combat,
so when the proverbial tables have turned, why can't grotz use orks? Ebul ideas starting to form

But to get back on topic; your works are inspirational! Keep it up, and keep posting threads like this.
If gives the rest of us something to strive towards, and inspires creativity!

(Perhaps I'll make my 'Inqusitor' a Grot controlling a much bigger ork? Would certainly account for
the increased combat skills and durability)

Your modeling skill is unbelieveable. This thread is absolutely amazing. That is such an amazing model. GREAT WORK!!!

Thats Amazing! Really great work. It always nice to see your models

You sir, are truly amazing. In fact, I think that you might actuslly be an Ork in disguise!

im gonna tra a waaaaay simpler version of this!

the_trooper wrote:Awesome conversions are always worth the trouble. I say go for it. Little warbosses are lame.

i agree wiv da trooper, da bigger da better!!

you are one talanted dude, well done!!!

great work, dude.

fantastically converted, brilliant idea with the 'gloves' although the top of the model seems a bit plain in contrast... could do with something like a oat or summut.

That is an awesome warboss, love it!

Over all, feaking awsome. GW should higher you on, but they can't pay for new artists right now. (That was a Joke)

I say, "over all," because I do have one critique. With all the freshly stitched wounds, his face just seems too clean. Your sculpting skills are way beyond anything I have been able to acomplish with green stuff, I just think a nasty scar accross his face, or a bionic eye would be sick. I have to say though the tattoo on his back is an awesome detail. You could call him Maarnis Orkgorr or Masta Blasta tha Ork'dome Champ. Nice work.

Very cool Ork! I had a thought when reading some stuff back on page 2, but then I realised that there were 10 pages. Heh. When you said he was dreadnought sized, I was going to suggest trying to actually get him wearing a dreadnought carapace. But the finished design is really impressive, and the little Grot is awesome! Very nice conversion work.

The most amazing warboss/dreadnaught I've seen yet.

BTW Now I have a new idea for a Mega-Armoured Warboss... Interesting...

Stumbled across this conversion while I was looking for inspiration for an Ogryn > Warboss conversion.

I think this is a brilliant idea and the work you've put into making it is outstanding. It looks like he could just punch right through a SM Dread now.


I'm thinking of taking the plunge and doing something special for a Warboss now with these pages as inspiration as to what can be done with an idea and a vision (and green stuff and plasticard).

Boooo, double post.

I think I just died a little.

He also reminds me of the Hulk

I love the model, the only criticism I have is the scars. They sort of look like candy canes, it might be the coloring of the stitches.

As an aside, now I have warboss-envy
