GG 2026 Gorgaz - An Alternative Trog for my Slann

[Malacassa2]

So, I have pondering an entry for GG 2026 because I was struggling on an idea. When a bit of random scrolling provided the inspiration. I was trying to find a mythical Gary Chalk artwork for Slann banners when I stumbled on an old Oldhammer forum post* of the Magnificent Sven minis. Which included a Gorgaz mini from the Lone Wolf - Giak Attack boxed set.

And then I thought wouldn't that make an excellent Troglodyte mini for my renaissance Slann army. I already have the Giak Attack boxed set. And I don't fancy repainting him. pictures below.

But I could always buy a new one and paint him up for Golden Gobbo. So, after a quick trawl of eBay, a new one is on order

*I will find the post again.

Here's a few pics of the minis I've got painted so far for my sequel to the Magnificent Sven. I'm not going to be playing the original scenario that came with WFB 2nd ed. as there's no way I can afford the 70 Slann and 40 villagers it requires! The plan is to follow Sven's exploits as he and his victorious band of Norsemen and other hangers-on are ejected from the village of Vastervik by the villagers, angry at the state of the place after the victory celebrations.

It all started off with this little chap - Juggo Jorikson - who I think I picked up in a mixed lot off ebay for a couple of...

Yep, just not complete but that is part of the challenge. The complete ones are just a bit more than I want to pay.

And rescuing one just seems in keeping with the spirit of the forum.

Nice miniature. Perry twins, according to SL.

So, my 'new' Gorgaz has turned up and prior to his dip on the paint stripper. It was time for a quick inspection. Obviously I need to make a new tail. Not sure if it will be easier to 'try' and sculpt a new one or make a mould from my other Gorgaz?

Sculpting would allow you to make it your own.

Looks like a really awkward one to mould given the dimensions?

That's what I was thinking. Given I don't want to damage my good one. But sculpting isn't really my strong card. But I need to get some more Green Stuff before I make any decisions. And I can alway have a couple of go's

Sculpting would allow you to make it your own.

And gives the possibility of an alternative, like a clubbed tail...

Could take a texture mold?
