Title: Necromunda Bull Gorg stand in?
Post by: Dr Mathias on 12 July 2011, 11:40:51 PM: Hello,
I'm pretty sure I saw a 28mm figure on a manufacturer's website that would make a near-perfect Bull Gorg character for Necromunda... basically a tubby post-apocalyptic gladiator guy with two huge chainsword arms.

Any idea which mini I'm thinking of? I went through my bookmarks and came up with nothin'.

Thanks!

I always thought this guy, The Mighty Zug, would be the best basis for a conversion.

What he said:
simply replace it's arms with ork "chainswords" :)

@Pil: isn't Uncle Meat 54mm scale mini?

Post by: Dr Mathias on 13 July 2011, 11:53:47 AM: Thanks for the suggestions guys, I was thinking the figure I saw was from one of the obscure (to me anyway) European companies. I had seen the Black Cat 'Gripper' now that I think about it, he's an obvious choice but after seeing a few of the others a conversion might be in order. Zug would be a good starting point. What about this guy from Mad Puppet (sold by Taban).

And, the Eden line has some seriously freaky stuff!

If only the scale fits.

Post by: notnorm on 29 November 2012, 04:47:59 PM: Hello! I am working on a custom figure for the very same purpose. I can scale him at any height because he will be 3d printed. How tall do you recon that Bull Gorg would be?

Post by: smokezombie on 29 November 2012, 04:58:51 PM: The JAG website says unkle meat is 30mm line. It's a seriously cool mini.

Post by: beefcake on 29 November 2012, 07:04:02 PM: Really keen to see how this turns out for you I reckon he would be about 6'+ tall. so about 30mm standing up straight?
He was the most interesting special character with the best fluff. You've now made me want to get a pitfighters gang led by Bull Gorg.

You think it was more than a coincidence that he shares the name with the big ogre guys from the fraggles... The gorgs? lol

Post by: Cherno on 29 November 2012, 07:18:02 PM: Uncle Meat is a huge fella, he might be listed as 30mm but he is abnormally large for a human so it's probably more like 40mm.
Title: Re: Necromunda Bull Gorg stand in?
Post by: blacksoilbill on 30 November 2012, 03:52:48 AM: Yes, the website says Uncle Meat is 45mm high: http://www.miniaturefactory.net/uncle-meat/?lang=en

I made my own from a GW ogre and 4 chainswords.
Please excuse the old and very out of focus pic.
