My goal was to create my own version of this:
A Night Goblin hero with a fantastic animal (?) as a mount, starting from this:
A Warhammer 40,000 model depicting a humanoid alien riding a gorilla-noid alien with an anti-tank rifle mounted on its back.
Okay, pushing that envelope. Here are the earliest WIP shots I have...
As you can see, he's on another of my budget 40x40 mm bases.
The Krootox (gorilla) had been painted but I didn't care and just sculpted right over it. It's haunches had already been built up with brown-stuff years before when it was intended to be a Chaos Spawn, but that was never fully realized.
He is standing on a bit of ripped up cork-board.
The dopey little saddle was inspired by Yoshi...
The rider's legs came from the (now dated) Goblin Wolfriders multi-part plastic kit.
His torso, with its snazzy leather jacket came from a Gorkamorka era Ork Warbuggie gunner:
Here's what it looked like a bit later...
Here are some more recent WIP shots....
The larger ones came from this piece (that I that I had like ten of) from the multi-part plastic Orc Boyz kit:
Here is the finished piece. Note the extra long spear with dangling human hand serving as a "carrot" to entice the beast to run. I still need to put sand on the base and I don't know whether I'll end up priming it or what, so I'll be posting more/better shots later.
