Sculpting creepy cult masks

I wanted to make my warriors unique, but as these are the most “basic” infantry I didn’t wanted to do too much on them. Also, I’m not very experienced sculptor so wanted to start with a simple change for these models.

 

I decided a creepy wooden mask would do the job.

 

I used brown stuff (kneadite brown/aluminium putty) as it is less sticky than greenstuff and supposedly works better for sculpting hard objects.

 

I started with a small lump that I squashed between my fingers to make a roughly face shaped and sized irregular oval.

 

I then pressed it on to the models face and used a sculpting tool to press it down. This also had the secondary effect of adding a wood texture to the mask.

 

I then used the end of the sculpting tool to bore out two eye holes.

 

Overall I’m very happy with the result. These celts now look far more menacing simply by hiding their faces behind a featureless wooden mask.
