02877: Mountain Troll :: Thrym WIP #47R

[Thrym]

Okay, following the finale of the Copper Dragon ... Soonâ„¢ ... I will start this guy.

 

In between efforts on finishing Gauntfield and the Dragon, I've taken to cleaning the troll.

 

 

I'll spray a new coat of primer on him shortly and base coat him.

 

Stay tuned.

[Glitterwolf]

GO! GO! GO!

[robinh]

you don't want to waste your time on that Troll.....

 

 

That mini has been through too much already

 

 

 

(pm me and I will send you the address of a place that will take care of it for you)

LOL

 

Sadly, he's part of Thrym's Joten Horde and will be joining his brethren soon.

 

Besides, I already have your address from the exchanges.  How's Vaeloth the Hellborn Paladin?  Has he vanquished evil from your home yet?

He is trying but his "home shelf" has been gaining evil occupants the last few months!

That troll looks awesome, can't wait to see him painted up.

[Thrym]

Using the Moss Triad for his skin.

 

 

 

Stay tuned.

Good choice!

[TaleSpinner]

Sweet.  I painted this one up a few years back.  It is a really fun model.

[tiniest rhombus]

Nice work on him

Nice work on him

 

Thanks, he reminds me of the Incredible Hulk's adversary, the Abomination ... minus the wonky fish/fin ears.

 

 

So, that's effectively what I plan to do with him using the Moss Triad as his skin tones.  Beyond that we'll see where this all leads.

[Thrym]

And to continue the effect of making this troll more like the Abomination:

 

 

The finished Moss Triad ... well, minus some washes I will do later once I have him painted up more.

This guy is on my bench for work Soon, too.  I've been filing him on the side, but never noticed his chainmail fannypack before.   

 

It occurs to me that I spend an inordinate amount of time painting and staring at troll butts.
