    I really like it! Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that a Carnosaur crest being used as a sheild?

    Not sure where the ball for the end of the mace is from though...

    Thanks. And yes that is the carnosaur crest i thought it looked good as a shield and then realised. Ball for the mace is am orc recking ball from a truck in 40k im still not 100% that it goes with the models. Pole is standard bearer. Body is temple guard tail is carbosaur and the rest is oldblood bits from the trogolodon box.

    I personally think the "ball" is too huge. It's on the great weapon area. Otherwise I think it looks good :)

    Was kind of the idea is its a massive weapon which is why it is also on a standard pole.

    Looks awesome, I really like the carnosaur shield. I agree that the wrecking ball looks a but too big, but Gor Rok is a badass, so.... If you really want to shrink it I had thought a about green stuffing up a ball for a mace, but being that big also let's you use it as a GW if you wanted.
    What did you use to make the tail?

    The tail is the tip of the carnosaur tail that i hack sawed to size.
    hmm yes it is large i do agree even for the bad ass that gor rok is i originally planned to use the end of the mace that the kroxigor wield but they are too expensive to buy for the mace i have 3 of the older metal ones already.
    Has anyone got an option that i could replace the ball with?
