Popular Post scipio.au Posted August 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2015 The last (currently) painted "proper" model from my Moria army - aside from extra models that will be roped in like my GW Orc & Goblin War Machines, and other monsters from Reaper Bones and such. The first Moria Troll from GW's Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring range. I painted this guy using GW's studio model a general guide, and somewhat followed their scheme and style of blending between the flesh tones and the blackened skin, as well as the flesh between the cracks. Since I followed their scheme it's most likely a fair bit brighter than the actual movie CGI model, but hey. I added a couple of resin "orc" skulls and a femur from some blister I bought in the mid-90's, along with a Moria Goblin Shield. I'll need to push-mould some replacements! Aside from obvious uses in LotR games, he's going to act as a Troll Bruiser (hero) to start with in Kings of War. Later on when I've got the other Moria Cave trolls painted, he'll simply become one of a unit, and eventually Buhrdur, the Hill Troll Chieftain will take over the Bruiser role in the army. 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaGeek Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Very cool! Nice work blending those tones. He'll make a nice addition to your army! It's funny how many different versions of this there are, too. I won a Mines or Moria set at Games Day Baltimore 2010, and painted the Cave Troll from it. The pose on mine is really different.
