Blog Imrahil's Paint and WIP log

You could cut-and-refit his crossbow wrist so the butt end of the crossbow is on the ground and he's supporting it with one hand as he fends off an attacker?

 

I would say turn the sword into a crossbow bolt, but you'll need to rotate the hand around, say, 90 degrees clockwise to look more like he's going to reload his crossbow rather than using said bolt to hit his enemy over the head with (which wouldn't be the best way to use it even for a strong Uruk).

 

I think you are supposed to use warriors with pikes as basis.

 

He already has made some of the pike warriors with those crossbows if I remember rightly, but you can't fault him for wanting to experiment with the other poses as well

 

Oh, I must have forgotten. I just wanted to help to find more natural poses.

 

Thanks all for the advise really helpfull.

@Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl correctly said I already converted two (broken) pike Uruk-hai to crossbow Uruk-hai. @JTSleep Exactly in the way that you proposed

My thought for the new crossbow conversion is to use the warriors with shield, because there are too much of them in a box.

I will give this one a try, thanks I will let you guys know how it turns out.

Grrr, !mrahil
