Statue Grommash Hellscream Statue (Blizzard Collectibles)

They should make a limited edition in green <.<

Lore-wise, Green Grom would be nicely toasted by the time he could stand on Mannoroth's head.

Don't be THAT guy

I'm already working on re painting mine, I've got the head mostly done, just a lot of real estate to paint the whole body while minimizing slips and not getting green on his clothes. Probably will have it done in 2 weeks based on the amount of time i have to spend on it due to work.

And yea, original green grom was killed by mannoroth's death blast of fire, but lore be damned in this case, green grom is best grom IMO.

No argument from me, he does look cool as hell in his Warcraft 3 look. I was just being THAT guy. And I'll do it again, watch me.

Oh and don't forget to pain the chin fully black, not just a few stripes like this statue (and above repaint/photoshop). Green Grom had a full black chin tattoo.

I would have done green also.

Yea, I was debating whether to go with the original black chin tattoo or stick with the stripes as they are more visually interesting than just a block of black.

And yea the above photo looks like a photoshop with a colour mask or hue swap rather than a repaint as there is no variation much in the colour.

I am going to make his body tattoos more visible by repainting them solid black rather than the thin black wash that they are in the base statute. I've also had to redo the teeth a wee bit due to the broken tooth that mine had.

I'll post an in progress pic once i have the whole body base coated and ink washed and then go from there.

Ok here's a couple quick progress pics. I haven't ink washed the body yet, so you can see a big difference in colour between the body and head. Once i wash the body and do the highlighting and dry brushing it'll look like the head does now.

Looks good.

Story-wise aside, I can sort of see why they went with the red/orange version.
Green Orc on Green Demon head would have been to much green I think.

But again....green orc is what I am waiting on...like a Thrall.
"For Doomhammer!"

Hi What paint are you using on this? Thinking of doing this also. I've always seen Orcs as green.

Great work there! Green over brown any day.

Makes it even more painful that they went with WoW design.
WC3 orcs were the best. Wishful thinking...

The picture is a photoshop, which I hope to god was obvious because it took like a minute <.<

I'm using a mix of Privateer Press paints and Army painter paints. These are both companies that produce paints that are primarily for use in painting tabletop wargaming minis. I happen to have a lot of wargaming minis, and hence a lot of paints, so i just used what I already have to start this little project.

 

[Ulfnar]

Ok, here's another update.

I've got the ink wash done and have started the shading process on the body. Still a lot of work to go, but I am really really happy with how this is turning out for me so far. He's going to look so bloody badass when i'm done .

1 ****** pic with no flash, and 2 with flash so you can see the paint more directly.

Thanks. Definitely gonna consider doing this after seeing how good your work looks.

Well done. Great statue. I actually cancelled this. Had to be picky with the limited space I have left.

Thanks man, I've got the tattoos done and the statue done mostly in general. Here are a few last pics that i took outside, I'm very happy with how this turned out .

[Xenoburger_]
