so...
last night I woke up with the idea for chaos character conversion in mind...
atm I'm at work drawing some pity sketches (just to prevent forgeting the ideas) but there's one problem:
the body will be based on plastic ogre; everything is fine except the damn boots :?
I don't like them but even more don't like santa's furry boots You can see on my ogres :?
so maybe You have any ideas how to solve it? ogre's legs are too big to add boots from other miniature so looks like there's greenstuff job left...
any ideas?
:pray: :help:

Sculpt metal boots. Cut most of the original shape off, and then sculpt. IF you don't want metal boots, you can always try to sculpt a chaos warrior boot.

I always hated these ogre boots

check ogryns out - they have military-type boots with metal elements.

I thought about chaos warriors boots - they are great but I'm not sure I'll be able to gs sth at least similiar;
ogryns' boots is good idea - they looks simple ergo I should be able to make sth like it :)

Isn't it funny how people are different. I like the Ogre boots. I like the metal edging to them - helps put some oompt behind a kick in the Friday night gnobblar distance kicking contest down the local pub.

So, as unhelpful as it is, I would say keep the boots as is.

unhelpful - not really:
the simpliest solutions work best :wink:
