Coolest model in the history of ever

Best Christmas present ever!

I've been painting since about 1998, traditionally a lot of 40k stuff but lately I've been doing a lot of work with Fantasy and the odd little side project here and there. I don't game as much as I'd like, and I don't paint as much as I'd like either... but I make up for this by purchasing way more models than I ought to!

I make an effort to try new things once in a while, and every once in a while I'll actually finish something. My current project is the Warriors of Chaos, it's an attempt at doing a 2,000pt army in under 6 weeks for the Fracas tournament here in Edmonton. A $100 ticket should give me motivation to get my army done on time, I would love some tournament trophies to add to my painting awards :-) After that, who knows what I'll be up to!

Your mileage may vary, but personally I think this sculpt is perfect. I'm thrilled to finally have this model. He's Nazgrub Wurrzag, ork scrap prospector. This fig from '97 has been one of if not my absolute favorite production model, and now I own one :-)

At the moment he's chilling out on my drawing tablet, but once I figure out a scrapheap style base for him, I'll get to work painting the bugger. I plan on doing my best to emulate some of the absolutely amazing Ork skintones to come out of Games Day competitions lately. Should be fun, I've been dying to do a contest level Ork figure for a while now!

Make sure you know which category you enter him... To my extreeme displeasure, I just realized that all 40mm orks will be large monsters... I am not sure who came up with the idea of putting 40mm Ork and 6 inch avatar into the same category...

Yes, definately a sweet mini. I managed to find one MIB on eBay over the summer. Now if I could only motivate myself to paint him...

40mm base = large monsters?! I'll be careful to read the fine details before I get to work on serious entries. I can get away with a 25mm base if I have to... but at the same time I wouldn't mind being able to enter something else in 40k Single.

Hee hee I have to say I agree with you although the official pic of him has him looking kind of unbalanced how they built him.. a slight tilt and a tweak here and there and he rocks.. look forward to seeing what you do with him.

The model is wildly overladen with gear, but I think that's half his charm :) I'll try to make it look like he's not gonna tip over, don't worry!
