Hi guys,
I am working on an Ironhoof figure for my wargame campaign.
The figure is a conversion that requires a little skill at modelling -
but not to much, as i can do it!
I am using the Orion, Wood Elf King figure by Games Workshop as well
as their Unicorn Figure. Both are relatively expensive, but Ironhoof
deserves the best right?
With a sharp razor saw chop Orion off with a neat "v-shaped" cut just
below his "belt". Then chop the unicorns head off at the base of his
neck. This takes a bit of doing - that neck is thick!
I think you probably get the picture of what to do next. I used
Orion's Arms, Head and Cape as they came originally, though changes
could well be made. I reasoned Orion's antlers are probably from some
"Wild Hunt" HQ. The Cape is a gift from the Elves [IMO] and provides
concealment in woods. The Horn of the Wild Hunt is used as per
Warhammer. As is his Lance/Staff. Only the names have been changed...
I mounted him on a large 2-1/2 inch washer. [In my campaign single
entities are mounted on round bases, Troopers of square bases].
He makes a very large and imposing figure!
One last thing:
This conversion leaves you with a set of cloven-hoofed legs and a
fierce Unicorn's head. Hmmm.....
