Those look awesome. Thanks for sharing them here.

I haven't start any of those golems yet. I had really bad time recently. My dad had a heart attack and I concentrate much on him and my family rather than minis. He's ok now, but doctors said it was quite bad one heart attack.

I'll put them soon coz I'm back on my Red Legion of Algeroth army.

Thanks.

I'm not really happy form how the back of this mini looks like. It came out very well but there is really deep contrast between black and flesh colours. In real it's more smoother. any way I've started work on another Bondage Head Experiments.

There will be 2 Golems of Darkness in my Red Legion of Algeroth. I bought those minis from Manic Miner Miniatures as I find them really great for Golems. Those are best proxies I find along various brands. Of course they still need some conversion work here and there.
First of all the head. Mini comes from bandage head witch would be great for golem of darkness, but I want to stick close to picture of Golem in rulebook, so I need to change it to look more like Razide head. I could not copy Razide head coz it is too big, I need to sculpt it on my own.
Secondly spikes. Golem needs some spikes. There would be some on shoulders and on knees.
Thirdly the Azoghar (Chainsword on pike). Yep, that crushing weapon would be taken from Algeroth's Nepharite. As I want to make it as much similiar to that one my Nepharite has as possible.
Here's whats I've got now.

I've decided to go without sculpting new heads. I'm going to use those Orcs skulls as heads for Golems. Tell me what you think.

My girlfriend says that skull is too small for Golem's head. And I know that skulls are different from golem's or razide's heads. But those big teeth have something in common with golem's face. Also, soon I'll be able to show you how it came out.

And here they are! GOLEMS OF DARKNESS with beautiful Azoghars! for my Red Legion of Algeroth!


Well, tell me what do you think. Of course there is some Green Stuff work to do. Also those golems need some spikes on arms and legs and probably on shoulders. I'm thinking of giving them shoulder pads (to match other units but this may be not necessary).

40m bases are already done for them so I just need to paint them up.
