Necromunda - Bull Gorg modernized!

One of my favorite Necromunda special characters from back in the day was Bull Gorg, pit fighter hero extraordinaire - We ran many a fun scenario with him either staging a revolt, or doing king of the hill style pit fights. Figured I ought to get him cleaned up and modernized for the new version!


I will cop to some youthful exuberance in this build (to be fair, it was nearly 20 years ago), as technically Bull Gorg is just a big human, and not a full-blown Ogryn (he's standing on a 60mm base). Still, can't deny he's an imposing model on the table!


The model is based on an old metal fantasy Ogre, an old rhino hatch in place of the usual belly plate and some techno-gubbins bodged on in the rear. With the addition of a pair of big-ass metal chainswords from the 54mm Inquisitor range it's got some serious heft to it - Let's just say the model can double as a paperweight! Touched up the paint scheme a bit here and there, mostly getting some more highlights in and updating the base color scheme. He's ready for his next fight!

  1. Man I loved the Bull Gorg story in the rulebook, not at all copied from Spartacus (what? Who said that?) and the artwork Jon Blanche did was brilliant.

    Never seen anyone actually turn him into a model before though, and considering how long ago it was this is a really nice bit of work!

  2. Kick arse effort on a really cool character. How is he going to fit down corridors on a 60mm base?

    1. Cheers! The corridors are bent apart as he smashes through!

    1. Not a bad idea! He's technically just a burly human, so I might take a crack at using one of the leftover Goliaths as a basis, but I do think he deserves the "larger than life" size an ogryn model gives...
