ooh those are cool. I must admit when you posted pictures of those trolls, primed further up, I wasn't to impressed with the minis but with a nice paint job they look much better than my first impression.

Love the noses, and the thought of a St Patrick's Day themed army.

Nice crew here.
I really love the way you do the boils. I'll be copying that some time I think if you don't mind :) Any special way you do it?

Haha!

I paint the base flesh color, then the wash/washes for the flesh, and some highlighting. After that I add a wash or two on & around the boils. As with the flesh washes, I change this up from figure to figure, but a lot of red, sometimes some purple or a warm brown (like sepia, etc.) Then back with some highlighting using thinned out flesh color, in a couple of layers. I try to keep that a little trasnparent, so I'm highlighting but the color of the wash shows through a bit. At the end I add a "hard" highlight spot of opaque flesh, usually with a bit of white mixed in to lighten that up.

Finished all six now.

I partially drew inspiration from the art of John Bauer (http://artpassions.net/bauer/bauer.html) but with a little more color variation. I still wanted an oldschool miniatures look to compliment the figures.






I also wrapped up work on some flying high elf bird boats for a friend...

I didn't expect to finish the trolls so quickly, so that was the extent of my "Month of Marsh" plans. So quickly coming up with something else marshy & boggy...

Very nice. Did you ever manage to get any blood moon miniatures Bog Raiders? They were basically Fimir. I think a little smaller though.
