The Conclave

I bought a D&D Flesh Golem after seeing Inquisitor Liss' use of the model. I decided to give it a bit of improvised armour (bits of pipe, access hatch covers, somebody's shoulder pads) and fill in the stitches and wounds.

It's nothing fancy, but I think that it makes a pretty good mutant. Hope you like it.


I bought the model from this (http://www.worldoffantasygames.co.uk/Dungeons-Dragons_B227UM~page~0~sort~Default-ASC.aspx) web site.

Threads with titles like that draw me in like a moth!

Great job on the rusted metal. How'd you achieve the effect? Lots of stippling?

I like the steel rope holding everything together - definitely scrounged that armour from a scrapheap.

I love the rust effect you've achieved on the armour - very nice!

the rust is amazing. I like the head on this model but the pose is a bit static, not seen this range in years though, nice reminder!

Needs to be filthier.

Seriously, some more weathering, splashing and blood-spatter effects on that smooth, clean skin would do wonders for the psychological impact of this mini.

And a Weapon, a Big Ugly Weapon.

very nice!
but were is the mutation?
except that one which made him so ugly... ;)

The mutation would be that freakish musculature, which I agree could use some dirt, although the armour itself is impressively rusty. 

It's an imposing model though, with a real rampaging vibe about it, which is good, naturally.

Nice and simple, I like. Who needs tentacled mutants?

the musculature is an acceptable mutation. my other comment was just a silly joke. i also do not need tentracles or something to define something as a mutant.

bye, phil

Thanks for the compliments.

The rust is quite easy to do. Van Helser is right - lots of stippling. You just need a knackered old stiff bristled brush, and a lot of patience.

I agree that he could be filthier, but I don't have the skill to do it effectively (it just ends up looking messy.)

I also agree that a weapon would have looked good, but unfortunately his hands are fists, and I don't have the skill to remove the thumbs and rebuild them around a weapon handle.

Very cool, but for some reason he reminds me of one of the undead team members from Bloodbowl . . .
