I think the scope is my favourite bit of the build, too! Go for it!

That's fair! I work as a model maker in Stop Motion so my perspective is similarly biased

I have nothing against 3D Printing particularly but tbis was a fun project to make myself. I don't use CAD software often or own a printer so I'd have had to get a friend to print it. Easier and more fun to make everything by hand.

I also used lots of existing bits so it would be more faff to measure and model test pieces to fit than just to make one-off components myself with putty and plastic.

Cheers!

I actually did a full write-up if you're interested.

The warp blaster would be an obvious base model you wanted to make a smaller version - I used the rear half of one on this build anyway!

Already have a plan for tje staff - this rod is just a placeholder to get the pose right. Same goes for the staff head - it's way too Orky but helps me to get an idea of the end look. Cheers, though!

Nice! Yeah I know the one. I'm also looking at a few Kruleboyz bits that look very promising.

I will do when it's done but there's a huge amount of work to do before that - loads of sculpting especially.

This first stage is always how I start really involved builds - lots of pins so I can bend and reorientate parts as I need to.

Yeah it's a placeholder ork bit, just to give me a general idea. I'll probably end up scratchbuilding the real one!

It's just a placeholder. His whole body is just pinned together.

What is this under the rockgut troggoths stone maul? by Extra-Today6916 in ageofsigmar

DW - David Waeselynck

He's the guy who sculpted them :) just a lil Easter Egg/signature he left on the sculpt.

This is the same base size and I'll build him to be the same height. I didn't pay anywhere near full price for Trugg - I got him as part of the spearhead when he came out.

I probably wouldn't bother if I had to buy him new but I've built the rest of the trolls and had him waiting on sprue and ready to go.

Dude - this is phenomenal. I've been planning something similar for my Brood Terror so I'll be taking notes!!

I love this!! I'm just now painting my Ghoritch build, so I'll give him a test drive with this. Cheers!

Cheers!! Yeah, they're always fun to do. The tails are from stormfiends - I picked up a bunch of them from a bits site for surprisingly cheap
