Borka Kegslayer (PrivPress 71021) for Chaosscorpion

[Sanael]

As seen in my Lunch Sessions WiP thread, here's the finished product of Borka Kegslayer, the stumbling-drunk warlock for Privateer Press' Trollbloods faction. I painted this guy up as part of a trade with @chaosscorpion , so the mini will be on his way across the state in the near future, unless CS sees something terribly terribly off.

 

Basing is left to Chaosscorpion to better match his army.

 

The plaid is a specific tartan, I'm pretty pleased with it. I'm pleased that this mini pushed me into doing plaid, which I'd never done before.

 

Borka also comes with a kegbearing Pyg. The kegstamp is, like the debossed pattern on the back of Borka's jacket, the symbol of the Trollbloods faction. I also enjoy the ridiculously drunken whelp sitting on top of the barrel.

 

Chaosscorpion, let me know if there's anything that needs to change before I put them in the mail!

Nice work on the tartan.  I like your color choice.  Compliments his other equipment really well.

[NecroMancer]

I really like those Trollbloods!  You painted them up great! 

 

I need to get me a couple of those.

Thanks! The tartan is kinda what a lot of the non-skin palette built around, so I'm glad it worked!

Thanks! The trolls are not my faction, but I've painted a few of them now and they're great models. Aside from the Privateer Press Assembly Problem, of course, but that's a given for any metal Warmahordes model...

[Glitterwolf]

Turned out great!

 

Well done!

[chaosscorpion]

He...They look awesome!  When you are ready bundle them up and trust them to the US Postal System.  

[VolksFest]

Awesome minis both! I simply adore the plaid! Wonderous indeed!

Wouw this is really really cool. I like everything about them.. :0)

They almost convinced my son and I to buy into them at GenCon last year, but one of the concerns I had was that they looked very assembly-heavy - that, my already enormous (to me) backlog, the looming Bones KS and my shrinking wallet (found them on day 3 lol) .. 

I do have their gencon warmachine freebie in a box somewhere, but i don't think it's got a label though (might have been an exclusive from gencon)

 

That guy looks awesome.. maybe I'll have to go troll their website one of these days and get a troll or two.. 

 

edit:  it wasn't buried too deeply - there are 2 figs in the package.. but neither is labeled

The plastic models have more parts than necessary, but are well keyed and easy to assemble, so grabbing a couple of starter boxes wouldn't be too bad. It will take a little time, but Assembly shouldn't be frustrating. It's a fun game and they do great organised play support if you have a FLGS.

 

The metal models from PrivPress have always been notorious for bizarre multipart assembly. I have assembled single human figures with parts in the double digits.

 

The gencon "beer model" in 2017 was the "Voltaic Vixen." I'd guess that's what you have...a woman, one hand on her hip, the other holding a staff with a steam whistle on the end, boots that look like bell-bottoms and a midriff-baring chestplate? (Called "beer models" because there's a local-to-Gencon brewery that makes a PrivPress-themed beer each year in conjunction with the model)

Amazing paint job!

Love the colors! It actually kind of reminds me of Yondu from Gardians of the Galaxy haha.
