The last of my three big, bad War Hogs! Since there's not a lot of room for variation with the original War Hog model, I decided for my third one (they're so good, I'm thinking about a fourth for large-point games, but waiting for the Road Hog first) I would do some conversion work. So whereas the original model has machine parts from two different WarMachine faction Warjacks (big steam/magic powered robot bashy things!) grafted into its flesh, I decided to get completely different 'jack parts from other factions and cobble them together with some pieces of the regular Hog model.
So Muffin features two arms and one leg from different Warjack models (a Seether arm and Deathjack leg from Cryx, and I think the Avatar of Menoth's shield arm?), two new smokestack-type-things on his back (One from Deathjack, again, and the Thunderhead's lightning core, haha), a Merc shield instead of a loincloth, cleavers made from Warhammer 40k Rhino top doors (cut apart and shaved down, stuck on banner pole handles), and sculpted tusk, mane, and aggression dial made from ProCreate putty. His name comes from the fact that I had to sculpt more onto his muffin-top gut to help make his pose look more natural - I rotated his torso a little from the original pose.

Thank you! It's kind of challenging to convert WarMaHordes stuff, honestly, it's my only dislike about the system, and even then it's a small one. Once I get some troops actually painted (I have 30 Brigands to do, aaaghh) I will definitely have to get a shot of them on the table!
i love the pigs. i was gonna make a pig army but have been focusing on other things for now. i kept my lord carver because i love how my paintjob turned out. and yeah, i wish they were more convertable/poseable, but what can ya do? i like warmahordes way better than warhammer to be honest game-wise, so i'd rather deal with not being able to mod as opposed to dealing with either system (still play a bit of 40k here and there but it's small amounts...)
also malifaux is a decent game but i run into some annoying players and can never make it on my local game store's malifaux night.

I still have lots of Warhammer Fantasy and 40k models, but I haven't played either game in years and years - I just fiddle with the models when I get the urge, like making my goofy animal-headed Marines. I had the Som'er Teeth Jones box set for Malifaux, but I lent it to a friend who then forgot it was a loaner and eBay'd it, and then bought me an Infinity starter box as an apology, haha. I barely have time to even play with the stupid amount of junk I have for Warmahordes (Khador, Trolls, both Minion pacts, and fiddling with a small Menoth force), but someday when I have the time I do want to play Malifaux (and Infinity, and Mercs, and WarGods, and Hell Dorado, etc etc I'm an addict).
yeah you're speaking to a fellow mini's game addict to be honest... i've never played infinity but it was carried for a very short time at my local game store, and i was just way too new to mini's games and starting to learn warmahordes, so i didnt have the cash to touch it... or the extra brain power. warmahordes was my first mini's game... oh i miss mk I, but mk II is soooo much better in so many ways... and omg i think i play more factions than you in warmahordes o.o;
circle (my first)
everblight
mercs (mostly highborn)
cryx
trolls
cygnar
and i plan on playing a few more before i die ^^;
i play sisters of battle for 40k, and i love them to death.
and well, i'm glad your friend bought you something to make up for his screw up ^^;

I actually have some Circle stuff too, but just a smattering of things I thought looked neat :3 I have a bunch of random stuff for Warhammer - Skaven, Beastmen, Chaos, some Empire I converted into more Chaos, some hand-me-down Bretonnians, and a handful of Lizardmen stuff. For 40k I have some Space Wolves, my own Space Marine chapter, Feral Orks (which aren't an army anymore, le sigh), and some Guard stuff. I have a nice bit of Forge World Death Korps of Krieg stuff I want to paint eventually.. but it's all just for fiddling with anymore, the only thing I may play in the near future is the Skaven.
