The same fury, now properly equipped to do something about it.

This armored iteration takes that raw porcine rage and gives it battlefield credibility through an open-faced helmet bristling with spikes, bolts, and horns. The leather and metal construction suggests pragmatic protection rather than ceremonial nonsense—this is functional brutality designed to make enemies reconsider their life choices. Those tusks still protrude aggressively, now framed by war-ready headgear, while that angry expression promises the helmet is definitely not making him any friendlier.

The mixed materials offer excellent contrast opportunities. Paint the metal portions with iron or steel techniques, add rust and battle damage for character, then render the leather sections in rich browns with weathering to suggest campaigns survived. Those spikes can be darker metal, perhaps blood-stained. The bolts add industrial menace—paint them slightly different from the helmet base to make them pop.

Perfect for showing the pig warrior’s progression from savage brawler to organized military force. Display alongside the bare-headed version to represent before and after joining the warband, or use multiple helmeted versions to army-build an entire porcine regiment.

Because sometimes the solution to being terrifying is simply adding more spikes.
