Troll Pics

Here are some photos of my trolls in their current states. Some are much more done than others.

 

The Mauler, Axer, Impaler, Champions, and Grim Angus were done a few years ago, though I just did the basing this year. This was actually my first attempt ever at doing static grass on their bases...I am somewhat satisfied with how they came out, but some of the grass seems a little "flat."

 

Toward the bottom of this post are my current "work in progress" models that I have been spending most of my time on lately.

Mauler (completed):

 

Axer (mostly completed...just need to clean up some of his armor plates):

 

Impaler (completed):

 

 

Champions (completed minus the tartans, which I still don't really know what to do with!):

 

Grim Angus (completed minus the tartan and base):

Fell Caller (you guessed it, still need to finish the tartan and base):

Krielstone Bearers (my current work in process focus right now):

Stone Scribe Elder (also currently being worked on, I really like this model!):

 

 

Did some casual troll painting today

Well I spent a couple of hours painting up my Krielstone Bearers and Stone Scribes this afternoon. Since I'm a super slow painter though I only got their skin done for the entire unit, and some of the leather done.

Since I last painted years ago, I'd forgotten how to paint leather. So I referred to what was shown in my trollblood army book for how to paint leather. I have to say I'm decently happy with the results for being so rusty at painting. It felt good to get some painting done on these guys, and I'm looking forward to making some more progress on them.

It's too dark to take pictures right now, but I will try to take some tomorrow morning/afternoon.

Troll Power!

As mentioned earlier I will be going with trolls. I love their aesthetic (although don't like some of the new plastic versions of their warbeasts). I started painting them years ago and actually even got to play a fair number of games with them way back when Hordes first released. Unfortunately work and real life took a different turn (we moved out to Arizona from California) and miniature hobbying took a backseat.

But now that we've started up again, I'm excited to start painting again. In the the next few posts I will be posting up pics of my currently painted trolls.

Fully Painted: Mauler, Axer, Impaler, Champions

Partially Painted: Fell Caller, Krielstone Bearers and Stone Scribe Elder, Grim Angus

For gaming, I will be going with a different warlock than Grim Angus. Although I really like how he looks, I think I will be going with Madrak 1, instead because he is a bit more straightforward and probably less frustrating for Mrs. Troll to play against. Plus for our first game I figure we will be going at each other with battle boxes to learn the game.
