Varghulf WIP
Ever since I first saw the Varghulf which features in the game Total War Warhammer, I wanted to make a miniature of it. Well, I finally got my butt in gear and started sculpting it in Super Sculpey!
 |
| The face of death! |
For anyone who hasn't seen how this monstrous creature was re-imagined for the game, here are a couple of stills of the beastly vampire monstrosity:
 |
| This thing is an absolutely huge muscular brute! |
 |
| Although they have vestigial wings, the Varghulfs in Total War Warhammer don't actually fly. Instead, they bound along at a breakneck pace, crashing into the enemy! |
As always, I started my sculpt with a foil and wire armature then started by making the basic shapes for the muscles and other main features. It's still early on, but would love to know what you think!
 |
| Very early musculature |
 |
| Early facial features which I would later completely reconstruct... |
 |
| Test fit of the first arm prior |
 |
| First arm attached and face reworked |
 |
| Size comparison with the unlucky servitor I had nearby... |
 |
| I'm really happy with the new face as it looks a lot more bat-like than the MKI |
 |
| I've been using a lot of vampire bat pictures for reference |
 |
| I'm just starting to add some fur to key areas. This will all need to be refined later, but helps me visualise how it's going to look |
 |
| Teeth, nose and jawline reworked again! |
 |
| It's getting a lot closer to the version in the game now! |
Very cool! Will you add the vestigial wings as well or will you leave it with the elbow spurs?
ReplyDeleteThanks matey! He'll have the stubby wings - the spurs are just a place holder at the moment. Might have to do the wings separately in a stronger putty as they'll be a little thin for polymer clay!
