Looking for Model Suggestions For a Really Weird Character

[Javaed]

So I'm playing in a Legends of Zelda inspired game, and I over-optimized a bit on my first character. I've swapped him out for a new character who is much more fun and fits the level of optimization of the party better, but I'm really having trouble find a good miniature to even use as a foundation for a mod job.

So, anybody have suggestions for a Gorron Monk, themed after Hulk Hogan? =D

Keep in mind, Gorrons are large, sumo wrestler sized guys that kinda look like they are made out of stone. They also have no females, so they call everybody they meet "Brother". I'm trying to find a bug bulky guy with a face that would be easy to add Hogan's mustache on to.

Maybe this guy for a foundation?

Do you mean large as in "a big human" or Large as in "Large size like an ogre"?

If you want something that looks like Hulk Hogan, I'd go to the toy section and grab the SLUG zombie Macho Mangler. He's over a head taller than a typical 28mm mini, but he's OBVIOUSLY based on Hulk Hogan. They're flexible stiff rubber (more flexible than Reaper Bones), and he has some zombie patches, but you can easily patch that with greenstuff (which I did for my conversion to the Hulk for Jason's mythic playtest

Or there's the the clay golem from Reaper, which you probably could easily modify with a trucker moustache and some hair.

LISTEN UP BROTHER

IF YOU WANT TO FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE HOLGSTER THEN YOU NEED TO DRINK YOUR MILK AND TAKE YOUR VITAMINS, BROTHER

ALSO THIS BROTHER USED THIS MINIATURE FROM REAPER WITH THE WEAPONS CUT OFF AND FILED DOWN TO THE FIST, BROTHER, TO GET THE 24 INCH PYTHONS ON THE GAMING TABLE

NOW BROTHER, YOU GIVE THIS MINI A GOOD PAINT JOB AND YOU'LL BE RUNNING WILD IN NO TIME, GIVING MOOKS THE FIVE MOVES OF DOOM AND TELLING THEM WHATCHU GONNA DO WHEN HOLGANMANIA RUNS WILD OVER YOUUUUUUUU?!

Awesome.

ALSO BROTHER, HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE FINAL OUTCOME

THE HOLGSTER IS THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE ALONG WITH TWO OF HIS BUDDIES

APOLOGIES FOR THE POOR PICTURE, BUT THE HOLGSTER IS TOO BUSY DEFENDING THE GOLARION WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE TO LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY USE A CAMERA

Thanks for the suggestions guys, these are pretty good. Ivan's is about the closest to what I'd imagine for the character and a foot replacement should be easy.

I'm really glad I'm not the only person with this idea.

[Ivan Rûski]

Glad you liked the suggestion. Currently planning a Zelda campaign for when my RotRL campaign wraps, and have a player planning to play a Goron. He walked in the room when I had that page up and said, "That guy would make a great Goron!" *lol*

*snort*

I blame YOU Holgster, for the coffee I just inhaled into my nose.

This is actually the group's second Zelda campaign, and it's been a blast. We've had several dungeon crawls even with the party just at level 4, and just wrapped up a major battle outside of a fort. An army of Darknuts and Stalfos makes for a tough fight.

I'll get the piece ordered (probably 2 of him so I can swap a foot) and see how he turns out. Thanks guys!

[Ivan Rûski]

Awesome. Would love to see pics when you get him done.
