Bolanferth's destruction conversion and painting log


Recommended Posts

Hello all, long time lurker. I was a fan of WFB in the 90s and had some badly painted chaos warriors and knights but no one to play with. 

I tried to resurrect things as an adult during 8th Ed and spent hours on eBay trying to collect an Empire army, just before it all ended. Then I had kids!

Now they've grown a bit and I've decided to go for Destruction and maybe one day even play at my LFGS. 

Some pics of a conversion project to begin with, will take some of my Ogors with Ork heads (an old trick but a good one I feel) another time.

Also working on conversions of some 2nd Ed Space Orks, making them a bit more dynamic.

Grateful for any advice, suggestions or feedback.

This is Mollog the Mighty from Stormbringer magazine. I read that he was an unusually short Dankhold Troggoth, and so decided to lengthen him a bit.

Sprue extensions were added to stomach, arms, legs and club and then covered with greenstuff and milliput.

I bulked out his face a bit based on pics of a "normal" Dankhold.

Some press molded details (oyumaru) were replicated and added to the club and the legs.

Some ogors with orc / Ork heads, playing with poses a bit and adding some greenstuff fur and horns to the helmets.

Lots of painting work to go on these! They are v. rough at the moment, but I like adding variety.

The characters also need some work, pics another time.

Might have to steal this idea of u dont mind XD. Ogor bodies fit the Orruks very well imho. Would like for GW to release more bodytypes in general across all factions.

They look great! A really natural-looking fit. Well done.

Of course - I've seen quite a few people do this over the years, so it's not my idea 😀.

I first saw it done by someone called Nightmare on the Ogre Stronghold forum/website (now sadly gone) around 2014 probably, but only just got round to doing it!
