Mortal Citizens Jun 2022 - Gultuff, orruk shaman

June's theme of #mortalcitizens is Scholar/Librarian/Historian, which is a bit of a difficult subject for greenskins. Orruks and grots normally don't really care about science and knowledge in general. They do however have have a simple written language based on glyphs as well as something similar to cuneiform script according to old Ork codices. The members of greenskin society that are most similar to scholars of other civilizations are their shamans. So I decided to paint up an orruk shaman, who funnily enough also has a snotling assistant carrying a tome.

Gultuff has been the shaman of his tribe for a long time and is becoming more and more forgetful. Fortunately his unusually intelligent snotling assistant Scribble keeps track of all recipes in his tome.

The model I used is an Orc Ancient Shaman from Knightmare Miniatures, which I acquired in one of their recent Kickstarter campaigns. I really like the miniature, there are a lot of small things to discover.

Fun fact: the rock on the base was discovered by my brother in a bag of coffee beans he purchased recently.
