My Icingstead army for Warlord requires two Ice Trolls. For the first one, I used the 03407 Hellborn Troll, sculpted by Ben Siens, as recommended. I also used the awesome paintjob by Michael Genet as inspiration.

The Gargoyle Leader, also sculpted by Ben Siens, has a similar pose to the Hellborn Troll. I sculpted a scaly back to conceal the wing insertion tabs, and to help match the style of his larger buddy. To make up for some of the size difference, I put him on a large rock.

Great skin!  It is a shame there is no back picture for the gargoyle troll.

 

Things like trolls aren't very genetically chosey so they get a lot of variety of phenotype.

 

Ask, and ye shall receive.

Wasn't included originally because the super glue used to attach the back tuft of grass caused a little white spot on the base. I had to touch it up.

 

Those are great.

 

Superiour skintone. Well done.

If I could replicate that on my bones ice troll I would be very happy.

 

The skin is, Shade -> Hightlight, RMS 09019 Midnight Blue -> 09020 Twilight Blue -> 09021 Snow Shadow -> a really light blue paint sample that was tossed in an order several months ago (you can probably get close by mixing Snow Shadow with 09063 Ghost White).

      Stonehaven trolls
      By Kangaroorex
      When Stonehaven started doing their kickstarters, they usually released their version of a troll or two with each one.  Since I liked the variety of elves, dwarves, and other smallfolk in the kickstarters i tended to get the completionist so i found myself with a bunch of these, even though resin is not my favorite medium to work with.  I did a few and the rest sat... until i needed giants for my Runelord campaign.  I needed hill giants and i dont like hill giants as depicted by the typical miniatures for them, but the trolls were cute and they fit the size i was looking for and the legend that hill giants have tails was born.  
       
      Anyway, here are the latest 2, it brings my total now to 5 hill giant/trolls and one broccoli Ent.  the party has faced 3 of them previously and it was a mixed success:  they won, but they went looking for a place to heal and rest immediately afterwards!  (come to think of it, Stonehaven makes up a rather large part of the party, the Kobold ninja, the grippli paladin, the half-orc barbarian and the dwarven cleric are also Stonehaven sculpts)
       
      anyway for your viewing pleasure:

      Still trying to cover all my basics with this classic troll design. I'm trying to get better with my basing, this time incorporating sand and some broken up wood chips.
