Thanks guys.

I have sculpted and assembled Murin and Drar for the sculpting and converting competition.

They were good fun to do.

I will take better photo's with better lighting in the future.

Now they just need to be painted.

Bloody fantastic! I see that you used some heads from the Wargames Factory Viking Huscarl set for some other conversions. Did you also use Viking parts for Murin and Drar?

Yeah I used a few bits and bobs from the WGF Viking kit. There are so many spare pieces in those sets they are just screaming at me to use them.

Better photo's of Murin and Drar.

It's all about the paint now. The sculpts are top quality

Well, I guess I am improving. Plus I used a few existing spare parts from Wargames factory sprues.

I am sculpting an Isengard troll, but it will be based off the uruk-hai berserker.

Here it is so far. The white stuff is normal sculpey (the cheaper less quality kind) and the beige stuff is super sculpey (much better quality).

I was going to give him a six pack but I couldn't get the look right with him leaning forward and all so I thought a few rolls of fat would look much better.

Early days but the pose looks a good one. It will be interesting to watch this unfold.

Indeed, I like the premise of this guy, and that shield looks pretty cool.

garmenhord · **Posted:** Sun Jun 30, 2013 7:40 am

the start looks good already! Guess this is going to become another great sculpt of urs

I am always amazed by the number of people on this site who are dab hands at the sculpting. Your Murin & Drar are superb (when are we going to see them painted?) and as for this berserker troll, I am really looking forward to that.
My only thoughts are that, like the Uruk berserkers, he would be less likely to use a shield, preferring either to wield one massive weapon in both hands or have weapons in both hands and deal out death left and right. The shield could still be used - strapped across his back as protection for the blind spot when he charges into the midst of the enemy, making a breach in their line for the uruk-hai to exploit.

was thinking the same thing, they don't need defense - that's for scardey pants, they are furious and feel no pain! so no need of armour! despite wounds they encouter they keep fighting, that's making them fearsome
