Subject: Rogue Idol of Gork (or Mork) model....what to use?
|

It appears that Forge World no longer has the Rogue Idol of Gork available, so I'm on the hunt for a suitable replacement model. Google searches haven't turned up anything useful, so I'm wondering if anybody on Dakka has or knows of an alternate model that can be used for the Rogue Idol?

The Rogue Idol is explained thusly:
Titanic scrap effigies made up of stone and earth, broken weapons, looted trophies and daubed in obscene glyphs and slogans, somehow come to ponderous, erratic life through the power of the Orc gods, Rogue Idols have a will of their own and desire only one thing; to smash.
So you could just slap stuff together in a vague shape of a monster and it'd be good, leaves a lot of room for conversions.
http://tzeentch.com/foro/viewtopic.php?t=3036&sid=bad799d689762c4d8d794c86ccf056ae is a good example.
As for actual replacement models...type Golem mini in google and you can find some cool alternatives...not sure you will ever be able to match the size just right, but there are some cool minis out there.

The 2nd one in that link is what I normally think of.
You might be able to find the old one from FW somewhere:

I am looking at taking a Reaper Earth Elemental depending o. The actual size. Mantic makes a nice one too but it doesn't look to be any bigger than the much cheaper Reaper one. Both might need some building up to get close to size.

The mantic one is the right size. Just wished it had fewer crystals. I like the look of the reaper one better.

Scale pic. Not sure what the middle one is but that's reapers to a 28mm guy
The middle one looks like Reaper's Lesser Earth Elemental.
Reaper's Greater Bloodstone Golem or Herald of Blood, Bloodstone Golem seems to fit the fluff of the Rogue Idol better than the Elemental. The Grave Horror looks like it could work as well.

Honestly it would be so easy to build one of pink foam. Cut up some pieces looking like rock. Carve a face so rough looking hands etc and glue together. Just google making pink foam terrain. It could be done in a single sitting

yeah, suggest Mantic greater golem as a start then model it the way you want, Orkify it. That's what I'm planning to do. http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/kings-of-war/abyssal-dwarfs/product/abyssal-dwarf-greater-obsidian-golem.html

Well, after a tip from a fellow Dakkanaught, I was able to find a (possibly recast) Rogue Idol model on Ebay. I say possibly because its not posted as such, but given its source, I am 99% certain it is, BUT, since FW no longer sells the model, I have no guilt over the purchase.
