Maneater conversions- Tribal ogre

Well, with this unemployment comes more modeling madness, specifically more ogre maneaters. Being a crafty whatsit however i'm going to blog them individually- so that i don't have one HUGE post and then nothing for a few months- you'll just have to deal with the installments.

unlike the last conversion, this one is actually completely my own creation (from ideas to modeling), although i have no doubt that someone somewhere has probably done this already.

The idea was for a tribal, almost native American ogre.. hence the headdress and the tomahawk. The advantage of this particular conversion is that he can also be used as the musician for my Maneater unit...


This ogre was actually very easy to make... and only involved a minor amount of greenstuff work. It was simply a case of modeling a headband and some feathers (although as this was the first time i've tried this.. i'm be interested to see how they will look painted).. and creating a tomahawk out of and ogre sword and a banner pole from the ogre bulls kit.

Despite its simpleness, i like it.. and plan to paint him covered in tribal tattoos to really complete the look!

Things to look forward to.. i have finished two more maneaters and painted my empire witch hunter!.. so expect another post next week sometime..  

In the meantime, let me know what you think.. comments and criticisms are always welcome!
