Wip Wegener Golem


Golem goes to Mordheim

I've always been fascinated by the Golem character of the silent movie directed and starring by Paul Wegener in 1920. The Golem is a clay colossal "monster" created by a Rabbi to defend the jewish community in a 16th century Prague.
This magical and sinister creature, in my opinion, is a perfect character for my city of the damned, Mordheim. I started to sculpt body in polymer clay using a ogre head and green stuf for details as gloves, boots and his hilarious hair. For the star shaped amulet I used a metal pendant.

My pencil sketch to start my Wegener Golem sculpture.

Battle Masters Ogre Champion



My 1992 Christmas present from my parents, Battle Masters, a pantagruelic board game by Games Workshop and Milton Bradley. Tons of plastic miniatures, orcs, goblins, chaos beastmen and one of my favorite miniature ever, The Ogre Champion: amazing sculpt, hulk size, I love him. According to game rules the ogre is a special unit of the Chaos Army, but for my dear one I preferred an imperial color scheme with a smiling sun on belly shield, now I have my Imperial Ogre Champion.

Orc Champion from the past

“Enter the exciting world of fantasy”, in 1985 the “Monsters Starter Set” was released by Citadel Miniatures, this was an amazing box including eight metal miniatures square based. Vintage style, weird design for a Vile Goblin, an Orc Champion, a Lesser Goblin, a Vicious Giant Wolf, an Ogre Champion, a Manic Hobgoblin Hero, an Evil Dark Elf Captain and a Warrior of Chaos. My Orc Champion survived the miniature cutter massacre of my freaky childish conversions.
