Necromunda Bull Gorg stand in?

[Dr Mathias]

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!

Black Cat Bases has Gripper.

Off the top of my head I can think of JAG's Uncle Meat:

And Hasslefree's Jotun:

Both paintjobs not by me.

Gripper from Moonfleet is the only one I can think of and to be honest I don't rate it.

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?

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!

[demi_morgana]

This one is even better! Head and arms are easy to replace.
If only the scale fits.

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?

[smokezombie]

The JAG website says unkle meat is 30mm line. It's a seriously cool mini.

[beefcake]

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?

[Cherno]

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.

[blacksoilbill]

Yes, the website says Uncle Meat is 45mm high: http://www.miniaturefactory.net/uncle-meat/?lang=en

[smokezombie]

What a brute! Shame that. He's so awesome and characterful.

'Ol Bull Gorg has always been a favorite of mine.
I made my own from a GW ogre and 4 chainswords.
Please excuse the old and very out of focus pic.
