Let the Mortal Realms quake with fear, for the great Pie Prophet of Mork has returned and he has a pastry for every occasion.
So the idea behind this conversion was to bring back my original character of Glibbins McGibbinz (Pie Assassin) into the world of Age of Sigmar. The original character had a serious obsession with mushrooms, so when they announced the Fungoid-Cave Shaman I knew who would be the foundation for the characters return.
I removed the centipede from the staff and the back, replacing the staff top with a Shroomling (the little sentient mushrooms that roam the Funky Fungus Forests) and to cover up the back I added some rather poorly sculpted mushrooms and surrounded it with liquid green stuff patches for moss. Moss was also added to one foot, the back of the pie hand and on his chin, so he now technically has a moss beard. The pie hand was the open hand of a Battle Wizard and the Pie was completely made of green stuff (the original was a Skaven drum arm with green stuff on the top). I also added a trinket or two just to round him off.
The head mushroom was painted a heavy pink starting from the head leading to white near the top of the underpart, with the top being slightly grey leading to white (with a thin black wash being lined in the gaps). I wanted it to come off that his brain shroom was turning into a look more suited to a bakers hat. All the other mushrooms are painted in bright colours with spots (the common theme of the Funky Fungus Tribe) and the Pie is a little more crispy in its crust then the original one was. I did have to go over the white eye a few times as this Shamans eye didn't stand out compared to the head used in the original Glibbins conversion, so I had to give it a more bruised/purple outlining in order for the white eye to stand out more.
Overall, I feel some areas could have been converted/painted better, but I still love the way the character came out. May add some mushrooms to his base later on (I plan to produce a bunch and then add them to most of the Moonclan Grot models bases).
Crusty doom comes to the Mortal Realms and no one is safe from the delicious filling of destruction.
Update: I decided I didn't like the way the green stuff moss looked on him (that and the back cloak shoorms) so I decided they had to go and re-done. For this, I looked up some tutorials and various options on doing these and having found a few, I've begun working on the alterations, so we'll see how it turns out soon.
