Ogor Ironblaster

As mentioned in a previous post, I'm currently in the process of building and painting an Ogor Mawtribes army for AoS Spearhead. The newest addition is an Ironblaster, which turned out to be a really time-consuming project. The kit is quite complex, it consists of about 80 parts and the assembly alone took me something like 8 hours. I had to paint it in sub-assembly (8 parts!), since otherwise there would have been too much places that I couldn't have reached with the brush.

 

Still, it was a fun project and painting didn't take too long thanks to Contrast paints. I applied a few small conversions, like using a head from the Leadbelchers kit and adding a gnoblar assistant from the same kit on top of the cannon instead of the metal jaw. And I lost one of the knobs on the pole that holds the cannon, so I used the seal of a toothpaste tube instead.

The Ironblaster kit can also be used to build a gnoblar Scraplauncher, so there are quite a few bits left - I already have plans for a kitbashing project. But first I need to finish the Spearhead army, three more models to go.
