Classic Ork Warboss

[Tzen]

I have had this miniature since it first came out. A regular opponent of mine had an Ork army, and as soon as I saw his charging across the table top, I knew I wanted to paint it. 

 

So I bought one. 

 

Sadly, like so many projects, he was built, undercoated, and then forgotten about. I actually thought I had lost him. Just the other day, I was tidying up my Games Room, and I stumbled across him once again. He has taken a little damage here and there (he was stashed away in a  bag with a bunch of other classic metal minis), and he needed some other bits of cleaning up around the edges. But I finally decided to paint him. Just 20 years or so after he came out.

Absolutely lovely work!  

 

The old metal warbosses are cracking models (the other one's brandishing a squig and a shoota-burna), in my opinion.

I love how he was left for dead for 20 years, only to come back like a boss.

 

That's like the Orkiest thing ever, that's a proper Warboss right there.

One of my all-time favourite GW models and you've done it proud.

Thanks chaps!

I may have to do a small Ork army at some point. I love painting them, I think it is a testament to their design that they are always a joy to paint.

Fantastic work! Love the old Warboss sculpts.

That sculpt is still very good today in my opinion and you have done an amazing job on it! You definitely should start a small Waaaagh!

Such a fantastic mini, and a paint job which more than does it justice!

Awesome job! I just got my brother some Ork bits for Christmas as he wants to start an Ork army!
