I got this Frost Giant King in the last BoGW Europe. Glitterwolf put it in there I believe ( @Glitterwolf).

 

I aimed for a fastvpaintjob, then noticed more and more details during the paint.

Tried my best at a frostbite-ish effect on the sword. In the end I loved him so much he deserved a proper base.

I went with an icy base, without the often seen crackle effect. There was no tutorial for what I was aiming for, so I winged it.

 

The rock is a piece of driftwood with wall filler.

 

I'm quite happy on the outcome. What do you all think?

I like it! And yes I put it in there together with the Queen.

Glad to see it painted!

 

Thanks Glitter. It's getting a good spot in my trophy cabinet now :)

Nice use of brighter colors on his armor to make the mini stand out more, and I like the ice effect on the blade.

 

Honestly, I've always thought this model's weapons should be called Rime and Reason.  ::D:

Thanks! Yeah the colours i picked on the armor surprised me in effectiveness. During the pick I was concerned slightly I might be matching colours there that were no match, but they turned out quite allright.

I think I used like 20 different Reaper Paints on this :o

      Tehnolog 54mm Vikings as Frost Giants
      By MoonglowMinis
      Today I wanted to show off some cheap 54mm Vikings that I painted up as Frost Giants.

      I made these guys close to a year ago, and they were among some of the first larger sized minis I had worked on, so they're a little rough, and that's before looking at the quality of model, but if someone else is in need of a lot of giants like I was, then this might be useful to them!
       

       
      So these guys are from Tehnolog, a Russian miniatures company that I know very little about.  The minis are made out of a soft plastic like novelty toys you can buy with tickets at an arcade.  They also have abysmal detail.
       

       
      They're meant for 54mm wargaming, and I believe there's an intended game system that accompanies the line, but my goal was to get some cheap giants for D&D.
       

       
      They fit nicely on a 2in base, and could probably fit in with the smaller Reaper Bones giants, but they're definitely a little undersized.  I remedied this by giving them each a boosted base, with the leader getting two layers.  At a glance, they tower over a standard medium sized mini.
       
      The details were rough and there were some ugly mold lines here and there.  But they're serviceable.  They might work better as a half-giant if you want to use 5e's Huge Frost Giants.
       
      More pictures of each giant below the Spoiler:
       
      Tehnolog also has a few other lines of fantasy-esque minis if you're a fan of cheap minis.  I am still considering getting one of their other lines to convert into cheap-o Fire Giants.
       

       
      What's your favorite obscure miniature substitute?

      Boar Demon - BogW Europe loot
      By Venun
      I finished the Boar Demon gotten from @Glitterwolf through the Box of Good Will. Added a skull that perfectly fit in his hand, 1 finger in an eye socket even.

      Wizkids Zombie Beholder
      By Venun
      Hi all
      I had lost my motivation to paint in the past few months. With no paint nights with friends, my mini's not seeing the D&D table as we're playing online atm, it wasn't motivating.
      This weekend I picked it up again. Finished 2 mini's, of which I'll post 1 today :) 
       this zombie Beholder was my first attempt at painting a blind eye. Loving the outcome!
      Added the toxic drool when I thought he was done, which turned out to be a lie. The drool finished him up proper :)

      BoGW Living Hydra Fountain by Venun
      By Venun
      I got this awesome looking Hydra  from the EU Box of Goodwill. @GlitterwolfGlitterwolf got it years back from another bogw.
       
      I traced it to be part of a kickstarter, where originally it was a fountain! 
      Not having the water parts, and also wanting to paint out alive, it resulted in this!
       
      I tried to create a shadow of his body still under water, although I didn't think of it till after the water texture was added. Still happy on the outcome :)
