It's Orktober!
I have had the amazing Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka kit, from the
Prophecy of the Wolf box sat in my pile of sprues since I split the box with
BlessedKnight (Lee) earlier in the year (it actually feels like it was last
year... but that's 2020 for you!).
I've been wanting to make him into a Freebooterz Warlord since I
decided to re-start my Ork army (as Frebooterz instead of Blood Axes), so I
had a pretty solid idea of what I wanted to do in terms of build. I was very
much influenced by the way Kari Hernesniemi (Koltti from Ironsleet)
stripped-down Abaddon the Despoiler to make his Chaos Space Marines Champion of the Red Corsairs.
So most of the "conversion" work so far has just been a case of missing
things off from the Ghaz kit - I have only added a couple of components so
far. I think he still needs a few details added: bones, feathers,
trophies, etc. for the full
post-apocalyptic techno-barbarian space pirate look. Maybe some wires
coming out of his metal bonce too.
But I am happy with this as a solid start. I think the build is about 90%
done.
Makari has just received a bigger base, a new Freebooterz icon (instead of
the Goff one) and a wonky pile of scrap to stand on (to make the banner a
bit more vertical, and less prone to falling over).
The big "toof" on his right shoulder is from the Mek Gunz kit. The
skull-and-crossbones icon is from the Flash Gitz box. His head is the banner
top from the Ironjawz Ardboyz kit. The vent on top of his backpack is from
the Ork Bomma kit.
He's a big lad!
