Title: Stone Giant Raiding Party
Post by: Vongoosewink on 30 December 2012, 08:06:18 PM: In my quest to end the year with a few more painted figures, I have just finished 3 more -- a patrol of Stone Giants!

Two of the miniatures are from Otherworld, one is an old Citadel C28 Giant. I did quite a few conversions on these, and took pictures of them before painting. For more details and lots of photos, please check out my blog. (Link below.)

FYI... when I went to check out your blog it turns out you used the [email] tag instead of the hyperlink tag.

Hey, thanks for the heads-up, I've fixed the link.

There is plenty more mini stuff to check out on the blog under the 'Older Posts".

Post by: Spooktalker on 31 December 2012, 03:20:03 AM: Completely awesome! :-* :-* :-* I have the one stone giant primed and have been trying to scrounge up some candidates for buddies to make an encounter group. Not the easiest figure to convert to to mimic the style of. Hats off to you.

Post by: Harwood Hobbies on 31 December 2012, 04:29:16 AM: Ooooh! Nicely done! I really like the highlighting. :o

Post by: **GS** on 31 December 2012, 07:32:18 AM: Great paint job you have done there, Vongoosewink!

But what I like most of all is: The character the three giants have. The faces tell me something about the personae of the giants. That's really good well done, as mr DEAFNALA would state it.

Keep on like this

Yes that's it!

And they match perfectly, I have never seen the old citadel one and can't pick it from the line up! Amzing job! You need to track down the Ral Partha one and add it in now!

That's going to be hard to reproduce, base with Citadel Foundation 'Charadon Granite', wetbrush with Polly S Fantasy 'Gungy Brown' (long unavailable), final light drybrush with Reaper Prp-paint 'Stone Grey'.

Pretty much any dark-medium-light progression will work, so long as you use similar colors. I almost never use the same thing (by the time I paint another set I've usually forgotten what I used last time.) Just experiment, you'll find something that works for you.

I think I'M gonna replace grungy brown (because the only person I can buy it from is in the states and wants very high postage) with vallejo us field drab - I *think* they look kind of the same.

Post by: Damien on 03 January 2013, 01:35:39 AM: Wow! Stunning work, as was stated before these minis have a lot of character. Went to your blog and love the Ogre tanks; especially the confederate flag one.

You have very cool toys, from your giants to your Ogre tanks to your Star Wars vehicles,

Post by: Vongoosewink on 07 January 2013, 02:47:22 AM: Thanks for all the positive comments everyone, they are really appreciated.

And thanks to the new guys who joined my blog -- the more the merrier!

These Stone Giants were a lot of fun, I'm still looking for a suitable pet Cave Bear for them. After these guys, I have another band of about a dozen Hill Giants from various manufacturers waiting in the wings... though let's hope it is not the end of the new year before I can get to them! ::)
