After my last post, how I made a 40K Terrain (http://lamoradadeconnann.blogspot.com/2011/03/el-chatarrero-junkman.html), I want to show you what kind of mini goes on that terrain.

The terrain seems like a junkyard, that's why I needed a tiny miniature to put on it. And which miniature brings the right profile? A gretchin! A goblin of 40K.
But I decided to perform a conversion. So, I took a miniature from Rackham (AT-43 game), a small tank with legs and arms, the model Dragomira:



I decided to turn this mini tank into a real machine, piloted by a goblin, a perfect example of the Ork style. To do this I modified the front, with an ork-style defense, with fangs.

Also I decided to put in the frontal hatch a goblin's head. The arms were also modified, with a clamp and a chainsaw, more useful in a junkyard than a destructive weapons.

When I started to painting ... I used a striking color scheme, where the rusts and other weathering effects stands out. The yellow color scheme also reminds the Bad Moon clan.

I hope you like it!!

Overall, I think it turned out great! I love the way that gobbo is just crammed in there. My only critique would be that he seems just a wee bit too large for that base. He appears that he will simply slide off the front of the base. Just a small critique, I really do think it looks awesome.

I've looked at all your stuff and, well its just simply amazing, if only 1 day i could be that good i be a very happy man!

Great conversion and base. I think you need a little bit of red to offset all that yellow on the armor.

Love the base with the sign, reminds me of Bioshock or Fallout.
