…and its not green!

Up next is a conversion that I’m pretty pleased with. It’s a chaos giant that has taken a form surprisingly unseen in the Warhammer Worlds since the very first days… an ettin! Chuckles here was bought originally as an unfinished conversion very cheap on ebay, which rolled around my To Paint pile for a while, fell apart, became part of my bits box, and finally, years later, re-emerged in a whole new form. Originally the heads were rubbish as they didn’t have a neck at all. Remodelling the neck so that one of them had a long stretchy neck and the other had no neck created a greater sense of movement and difference. He was missing a foot so I found something weird and fleshy, and have tried to give the impression of amorphousness – this guy is in the process of changing. A tail was essential, because chaos. Finally I rebuilt the arms, using some spares from the Cygor kit. He seems like he’s moving fast and pulling up stones as he comes. I tried to paint his skin tones as close to my own as I could! I wanted to give him a farmers’ tan, but couldnt work out how to do it. His face is scarred, as is his unmutated foot – it seemed obvious that his foot would attract a lot of sword hits. Places where the previous conversion left encrustations of green stuff I have tried to turn into scar tissue. He’s been hit with a flame weapon at some point. I am very pleased with how this turned out. I hope you like it!
