Warhamer orcs and goblin army does not have any female characters (save blood bowl). This is because they are technically an animated, blood thirsty fungus.

I have been told by purists that female characters are silly, but that is the point. I love the female orc characters because they can look SO hideous. It is similar to the Female Decepticon Debate I have been unfortunate enough to experience.

I have one other female character in my army, which is surprisingly low for what I had in mind. Female Leaders that Suffer PMS...(Potent Mushroom Syndrom)

my sculpting skills really suck with greenstuff (the blue and yellow epoxy putty that gets kneaded into green. I also have white stuff, which is blue and white that gets turned into white. Blend the two for different properties.

What I am doing is showing the original figure and how I am adding to it or removing from it. There will be changes and this sort of project can take quite a long time. Greenstuff takes several hours to cure to a firm that does not mush. So patience is a virtue too.

I chose a model that did not already have excessive amounts of things sculpted onto the chest area. Quite often there are toothy necklaces or skulls and the like already there. Truthfully I could work around this but as I cannot find my slagging sprew cutters(I may have to get a new pair) I cannot trim these off.

But the figure I found is a good choice. It already has a hair thing on the top of the head. I like that. And severed head earrings. The figure also has a nose ring. The figure also has a large amount of bulky bracelets. Very fashionable for modern standards. There are quite a few people who look like this to begin with and it will be only a matter of time before they start to sharpen their teeth.

Now to start to feminise this Orc.

The next step is simple. I add mammeries to the right spots, just under the hulking Orc head. As this is a witch-shaman I wanted them to be more saggy. I made, as usual, too much putty so I added some extra fur to the waist and a fur ankle thing. Zulu people do this so why can't my savage Orc?

I also added a pouch to the orc's hip because shamans should carry pouches with magical talismans, amulets, ingrediants...dead things.

Again, as I have said...I do not have sprew cutters so I cannot hack the axe heads off. But I may go to Games Workshop sometime soon and borrow theirs. I have a severed head I want to put on the one axe and I may use a ram skull for the other axe. I do have a number of Zombie and Skeleton sprews I can use to add to the figure. I also have a few random skaven parts...(rat men) which I might putty into the figure later.

The putty is setting quite rapidly due to the heat. To preserve the putty I freeze what remains so it can be used later. But with a fair amount of left over putty I filled in the slot on the base and for kicks, stuck a mushroom on it too. I am not sure I Like the mushroom.

To add more details.

The putty has had a chance to cure over night so its pretty solid. I knead up some fresh putty because I need it to be very soft and sticky. I start to make the fur halter top. I have decided that this will not have double straps instead it will be a sort of wrap around that closes in the middle...It looks like hell now, but once the figure is primed again, it will look even and when it is painted, hopefully it will look even better.

As I said, patience is a virtue. There is much building up of layers that has to go on and enough time to bass between each later to allow the previous later to set. Now the sex change is really starting to notice. The figure I can call female and call her a she. But there is still much work to be done. I want to add more to her top such as a cape like bit and maybe fill her boobs out a bit more. They seem a little lost.

The closure of the halter top is a pouch. I removed the mushroom as I felt it looked silly and I decided I might have a tree stump on the base instead. Also added to the figure is armpit hair. Oh yes, that's a female witch orc for you. Hideous, and hairy...I gotta love her.

Sunstar is a very unconventional person. As pretty as some of the warrior women and mage pristess figures are, they just lack Umph. Okay maybe to guys the scantily clad female figures are very nice, but realistically speaking...If they do any amount of fighting their tops will pop out...trust me. This female orc will have males running from her and happily so. If they don't she'll sit on them and crush them to death.

I am already mentally planning my next layer and I think I will be moving the belly button down lower and adding a belly button ring too. Hopefully in a few more hours I can start work on the cape.

The Skaven Grey Seer Cape.

Skaven Grey Seers are some sort of Skaven priest or prophet. They're representatives of the horned rat and they seem to have horns themselves. Rats...horn and grey. As the orc will be painted a deep red, the furs I have used on my unit are grey so this works for me. Why not have a shaman that has is wearing the skins of a different race's shamans.

I have added a Skaven rat head, filed down. It has its tongue sticking out and I may add extra features to it once it has set in the putty. I have also added one horn to the side of the head so it looks like a grey seer's corpse. Once that is all set, I can move on to more details.. layer by layer.

I did a bit more...

Cape part 2

the heat is pretty good today because the putty is setting up quickly enough for me to add more details. I  will have to wait until this evening for the cape part to set up as I need to putty on a fur layer on top of the "skin" I would also like to add some creases and things to the inside of the skin, but again I need it fairly well set up. I blended part of the cape into the current layers of green and added a few smaller layers and tufts.

On the other side of the cape I added another pouch and some "ties". The ties are tiny and I need to use a pin to move them around and get them into position. Also from this side you can see the horn on the side of the skaven's head. Yeah right now it all looks like slag, but hopefully when I am gone and it is one colour(black) then painted it'll look better.

The magickal totems.

In the previous shots you have seen that the shaman had stone axe heads, well the way I paint them its usually ice axe heads. I removed these and I am trying to get the plastic skulls attached and to get them to look like they are part of something quite special.

So far it is looking like slag, but I have only just attached them. The green stuff will assist in holding them on (I hope) I plan on puttying "leather" straps around the horns of the horned human skull, add bags and perhaps some talismans on both totems.

I am having too much fun with this project.

I went down to Games Workshop this afternoon in order to borrow some tools because...I still can't find mine... They were more than happy to let me.  They did bring up the remark about Orcs not having females. "they're asexual" But hey, in my universe anything is possible.

I hope this works out well in the end. I have put a slag load of time in it. Anyway...Oh yeah, the skulls are an Orc, ram and human.

Yes, it needs a lot of cleaning up yet.

And finally....I am allowed to double post in this thread.. :P

Totems Part 2

This is the final part, aside of the touch up filing and any touch up putty work I see fit to do. All in all the figure is completed as far as additional details are concerned. I am happy with how it looks at present so the next step will be to primer it then to paint the figure

What I did in this step was actually rip off some putty from the horned human skull and replaced it with something I felt was simpler and better looking—the leather straps and tie. On the other banner I added some leather straps and some pouches hanging under the ram's horns as well as a little extra fur detailing on the back of the rams head. It is simple and good I think.

Also I added the belly button ring. What that is is the stupid twisty ties that come with all the transformers figures. Not only is this a possible way of removing idiot children from the gene pool(these are long enough to wrap around a kids neck....and I am sure somewhere down the line some idiot is gonna bump themselves off and sue hasbro.) I twisted the wire around some tweezers, clipped it and super glued it into the new naval

I also smoothed the joins between the horns and the skull. So tomorrow, I will file it down and see if I can locate some decent primer...that's it for now.
