Looks awesome!!

Kinda curious how (big) the forces of Marienburg and the Undead would look by now...

Lovely painting - I like the accent of the purple mushrooms.

I'm kind of curious too. I should get them out for a photoshoot. Or better yet, an actual GAME.

Thanks. Hard to get a clear shot, but here's a couple.

Your collection of giants is inspiring... I suddenly feel the pain of not having a giant myself..
Which one is your favourite?

[von Lucky]

Nice detail painting on him.

Great job on that monster giant.  He is another amazing sculpt from Andy.

Thanks for that (also realised my last post was riddled with errors ). The close ups are awesome. Nice creaming face on the victim. I thought I had a lot of giants! but you outstretch me! Funnily enough I think I only have 3 that you have, many of mine are either old grenadier or reaper bones.

Every time I talk about one of the giants, I seem to refer to it as "one of my favorites" -- so it's hard to pick! There's quite a bit of variety, and I like them all for different reasons.

I think the Giants of Albion are among my favorites. I like the proportions and expressions. The Warploque giant is a favorite for similar reasons, but scaled up. His pose and details are really fun, too. Similarly, I think the Tom Meier/Ral Partha (frost?) giant in front of those three (black beard, casually striding forward) has similar proportions, and is wonderfully posed. In a completely different style, I really like the Reaper fire giant, painted in grey tones next to the skeletal giants. The one I painted is in cast in Bones material. As nice as it looks,  I wish I had bought the metal one i even just for the bendy spear issue. (I did get the new, super-sized Bones version of her, too -- I hope it lives up to my expectations based on the small version. I'm thinking about cutting out the spear and replacing it with brass or plastic rod.)

See, now I'm just starting to work my way through all of them. I'll leave it at that, but repeat that I think they're all great models.

This is the first Heresy figure I've painted, I've had a lot of his figures on my "wish list."  It looks like he's got a lot of great stuff, but I'm particularly fond of his monsters, large and small.

Umm, on the topic of errors.... 

But yes, the expression of victim is great. It's a detail you can only see from certain angles. I like to say that art (of all types) is meant to be experienced in person. Having 360 degree access to a miniature like this helps appreciate all the work a sculptor put into the details.

I have one Bones in that photo, and four more waiting to be painted. I used to have the Grenadier fire giant (the one wearing armour & helmet, wielding an axe), but foolishly traded him away in my youth 25+ years ago... There so many I could still collect and paint, old and new!

Wow, that was a bad mistake that time, or good depending on your point of view.
I'm pretty sure I have the one you are describing. Nice mini it is. I like all the old grenadier giants.

I think I might put a disclaimer in my signature saying "typed but not proofread".

That giant is just stupendous !  Great shot.

Stunning Giant, love the toe and finger nails...
