To give my army a leader who both
looked impressive and intimidating and could act as a force to be reckoned with,
I chose Gothmog. Trouble is, I wasn’t satisfied with any of the individual
models GW brought out for him, so I decided to make customize my own. As soon
as the Warg Chieftain, or Alpha Warg model came out, I knew I had to have an
Orc hero mounted on him. So that’s what I did. I've never seen it done before, so I'm actually quite proud of this one.
The model below is made up of the
Warg Chieftain model and Gothmog Pelennor version, which comes with a different
warg. The warg itself was made to look more dynamic by basing his already sculpted
base on some slate from the garden, this gave it extra height and more
balance. A saddle and strap had to be
made so Gothmog could sit comfortably on him. Finally after some green stuff
around the joints and sawing a small section of mane off, he was ready. This is
the result…
And just to show how intimidating
he looks, I posed him next to an average height Osgiliath Veteran of mine. Huge.
And of course, no mounted model
would be complete without the separate models. The warg acts quite nicely as a
Wild Alpha Warg in certain scenarios.
