What Shall We Do With A Headless Orc*

When I showed the second lot of Fantasy Regiments orcs I mentioned that I had one more, but that he was damaged. I said that I had some ideas, so here are my thoughts.

Option 1

Merijn has very kindly offered to search his bits box for a spare head, which would solve that problem. There's still the issue of the back.

Option 2

I wondered about sculpting a cloak out of milliput or green stuff, which should be fairly easy. But I think, given how similar the rest of the rank and file are, it would look odd.

Option 3

I also wondered about slinging history shield on his back, thus covering the damage. But why is he doing this, and why does he have his left fist raised? (Actually, that's easy, he's probably about to punch someone).

Then I realised that the left hand could be holding something else. Although it's next to the body, a staff would nicely fit.

So I'm suggesting a standard. To make him as different as possible I can give him a spare head from one of the newer orc kits and probably change his weapon blade too. The standard pole will be brass rod, and I found a nice topper amongst some odd bits left over from the Battle of Skull Pass starter set (just the Bad Moon, not the skulls and mushrooms).

So that's my thoughts. If you've any other suggestions, or you feel that any one option is miles better than the others, please leave a comment.

EDIT

You can see what I did here.
