44109, Enlarged Dark Dwarf Striker

[Metalchaos]

Hello everyone, here are pictures of the last Dark Dwarf I painted for my Duergar squad. I converted a 44109, Enlarged Dark Dwarf Smiter sculpted by Bobby Jackson to make it look more like a Striker. I changed the original hammer head for a 3D printed two sided meat tenderizer and added the eye patch. Thanks to Derek feedback, I really pushed myself on this one. I think I spent something like 3 or 4 hours on the beard only. It is standing on a 2 inches square base. The ball and chain are made of Milliput and a 3mm hobby chain. Your comments are welcome. Group pictures coming soon.

Great conversion!

Wow! I love everything about this little guy. Your style is really cool, and the addition of the lighting really kicks things up a notch. The NMM is really nice, too. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, well done!  Your extra work paid off.  All the parts contribute to an excellent whole: some areas crisp, others grungy (but deliberately so), etc.

I like how smoothly you blended in the yellow-orange glints, and how they compliment the purple in the skin and leathers.  I also like the pinker tones on the nose and cheeks.

Fantastic - wonderful NMM, beard, addition of eyepatch - and the mystery of the ball and chain on the base... Inspiring!

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I'll be additing more pictures in the Dark Dwarves, Irontongue Duergar Squad (group picture) post.
