Da Green Horde

My next entry for Swordmaster's #MonsterMarch6 challenge is a conversion based on the Incredible Hulk miniature from Marvel Crisis Protocol. The model represents Megaboss Gorgrim Bloodjaw, the leader of my Destruction army.  I started with a simple head swap (taken from a Black Reach Nob), gave him a club from the Ironguts kit and then added different pieces of armor. One of his shoulder pads is actually the backplate of an Ironjaw Brute, the other one is an Ogor gutplate. On his back he wears a large Kruleboy Skareshield taken from the Killaboss on Gnashtoof kit.

Lorewise, I see it as some kind of tortoise-squig, which was tamed by the Boglars and named Dursquiggo . I tried to give the base a swampy look by adding some swamp tufts by Army Painter, lichen from my garden and Agrax Earthshade Gloss.  The bits on the howdah ...
