Just a quick update on my Tales of Instahammer 2019 project, the Ulgumgi army. This month was themed "The Hammer", with the intention of participants adding something of beautiful creation or terrible destruction to their armies. Well, my take on "The Hammer" was this:
Bren Ashenbough, the soul of a slain Freeguild officer trapped inside charred wood from the battlefield he met his demise upon. His ultimate loss and his inability to continue into the afterlife infuriate him beyond words, and his reincarnated form often flies into fits of blind rage that damage both friend and foe alike. Yet almost as often the gargantuan weight of the fact that he lost his life while committing an atrocity proposed by someone else, and that the blank, echoing void that is his current state will continue forevermore, drives him into the dark dephts of depression.
When feeling blue, Bren often curls up somewhere in the woods and creates things: little villages for fairies and small animals, shelters for birds and hollowed trees for insects and crawling things. These two sides of Ashenbough truly represent the twofold power of nature: to create and to destroy in alternate seasons, using the same tools but in different ways. In that sense, Bren Ashenbough is the Hammer of Nature.
The hardest part of the entire mini was curling the fingers of his taloned hand around the chain, which required cutting each and every finger loose in order to reposition it to imitate holding the chain. Probably the most time-consuming part of the project!
Here are some WIPs of the conversion result before painting, and finally a few additional pics of the finished mini from different angles:
