Looks Like Meats Back on the Menu, Boys
Not much time for painting at the moment but I did manage to get some games in. However, I finally called to a halt to the restoration of this kitbashed Uruk-Hai shaman. Sometimes the skill is knowing when to stop!
As he didn't cost anything at the time as he was made from left over minis and the current Uruk-Hai is over £8 as part of the >£30 set I feel he is a bit of a bargain 😁.
The slain goblin's head never looked very good as the detail wasn't sharpen enough. So, After several attempts to 'improve' it with painting. I finally gave up and removed and added a head from the bits box. Hence the title of this post as it took a while to realise that I was never going to get the result I wanted with the old goblin's head.
I didn't have any suitable Oathmark goblin heads as they all had helmets. But one of the Aztec heads looked quite good especially as he had his hair tidied up in a topknot. And as a tabletop mini I think this is perfectly acceptable.
Pre-touch up.
I did the original conversion about fifteen years ago without any green stuff when I needed a shaman for a one-off game. He was the body of a plastic Uruk-Hai berserker and and the legs of a Uruk-Hai warrior. With card weapons in his belt which made of cotton thread. While the execution was basic to say the least, I did like the overall result. Particularly the hand print across his helmet, which I decided to keep. So, he got a bit of an update, this time with green stuff and some leftover plastic weapons.

Nice refurbishment of your uruk: the severed head is now much more visible. But in LoTR lore do Uruks have shamans? Were they introduced in the GW game?
ReplyDeleteYep, the Uruks can have shaman.
