Sandgroper Cup 7 Bloodbowl Tournament Figure - Chaos Warrior

[axiom]

Sebastian Archer (Guild of Harmony) posted this on Frothers - a very nice Chaos Warrior figure for Sandgroper Cup 7 BB tournament. Thought some of you might like to see it!

[quote]Ahoy there mates! Here's another 32mm sculpt I finished recently that I thought you might like to check out

This 'chaos warrior' is the Sandgroper Cup 7 event miniature - it's a Bloodbowl tournament in Western Australia: http://www.sandgropercup.com/sgc7.html I think everyone who attends gets a free copy of the figure - and then they are selling the remaining casts after the event. I think it's limited to 200 casts all up?

Anyway, I tried to sculpt this figure in a sort of 'classical GW' style - modernised a little, of course. Take a look at the concept art I was using: the concept art is by Christian Schwager (http://www.solitudo.com/), and it went through quite a few iterations before the SC7 guys decided on the final design. However, they wanted me to try to make the figure look a bit taller and less like a barrel-chested/dwarven armoured guy...so I made a few modifications. They also wanted a few more details, so I put on some extra SKULLZORZ and things hanging from the waist (classic GW, right?!)

The client also requested a single-piece cast, which influenced some of the design decisions, especially things like the angle/positioning of helmet/horns/spikes etc.

Anyway...it's 32mm, 95% sculpted in super sculpey firm, with a little procreate for the horns and spikes.

Great work, I like the reference to the GW mini.

Just one thing seems a bit strange for me. The size of the helmet isn't it a bit too small on mini compared to drawing or is the chest too heigh ?

Very Jes Goodwin, Heroquest era. Looks great and alot more fluid than GW.

Id have to paint him in Humbrol gloss red. Sod the drying times:)

I'm very sure Reaper will post a thread for sales on TFF after the event, he did with Sandy Groper the Witch Elf from last year [urlhttp://www.talkfantasyfootball.org/viewtopic.p ... ilit=Sandy][/url]

That is one awesome tourny mini.

Nice, though the helmet on the figure looks wrong to me.
Though that can be forgiven by the dead drawf.

Yes, we will be selling these after the event again.

As with the Sandy Groper miniature last year, Lord Zaandii the Grro'Parr will be strictly limited to 200 miniatures cast. They will be sold for $20AU + postage. The Sandgroper Cup 7 will be held on May 18 and 19th, so the miniature will go on sale after then. viewtopic.php?f=62&t=37824
