Who wants an Orc Warmaster?
posted February 17, 2012
Here is our next upcoming mini, a large Orc warmaster (more images below):
We could even say he is very big. At this point in time he is scaled to be 31mm to the eyes, this means that he would be around 35mm if he was standing straight (but we can always scale him down if you think he is too big…).
His total height is round 75mm but he fits perfectly on a 25x25mm square base.
Please note that this is still a work in progress. There are still some details to finish like the decapitated dwarf head in his hand that needs some work.
We are also working on a SciFi version that will have a big gun in hand instead of the dwarf head.
Since we're not finished yet on this sculpt, we are very interested in your feedback, ideas and suggestions. Please let us know what you think in the comments below.
Comments
Currently, from the feedback he received, this mini is still planned to be a very big guy. We’ve designed it so that he could stand on a 25mm base if the need arises, but it will look very much at home on a larger base.
We’ll post images of the finished Fantasy version at the beginning of this week
We will post the current Scu-Fi sculpt and await your comments on the Sci-Fi version before we finalize it.

BIGGER! If you are going for GW fluff and are making a great warboss then please make him huge. He should fit on the 50mm base, not the 25mm. Like Archaon on his horse. And his height should be over the top. I will buy 2 of these and at least 3 if the 40k version if they are huge and have options. Please don’t disappoint. Please…

Nice model. If I would change anything, I would add more teeth and make them more irregular/jagged/busted up.
I would second the idea for the optional parts for the right hand

He’s the boss! Of course he’s not left-handed, he’s ambidextrous…

First off, I love the axe, the misshapen maw, and most of the armor.
I do agree with a prior comment about the head in hand. It should be more like how someone palms a basketball. And rather than just some misc. rock to stand on, how about the partial body of the dwarf? I also would have expected more chains on his armor (rather than the cord that’s wound around his thigh and arm.
I’m looking forward to the sci-fi version (though I’d get both).

It may sound picky but I don’t like the fact he is left-handed. Given that 99% of citadel orcs are right handed to have the warboss in your unit be the only one that’s left-handed would look a bit odd.

Looks very nice.
2 things I would suggest.
Firstly that the hand holding the head you make 2 optional parts. The first holding a huge shield. The second holding a chunky sword maybe.
Secondly the part where the horns meets the helmet is not clear enough imo. If he is wearing a helmet he must have a very tiny head. That or the horns are actually growing out of his head.
I’d make the metal part of the helmet bigger and give him metal flaps down either side of his face. Also make the spike more defined ontop.

Like his maw. Lot of teeth and wide open.

I really like this but I have one item of (hoefully) constructive criticism. The hand with the head seems to be holding it far too delicately for an orc. It should be being grasped whole handedly. Thanks
