Old school citadel giant
« on: 03 April 2016, 09:45:05 PM »
Got this guy in the post yesterday morning



And after a scrub and a repaint I have a brand new Giant for my Hobgoblin army.





He's lovely. I couldn't wait to get him done.

I like the old Citadel stuff.

What's funny is that apparently there is a giant blacksmith who builds and sells giant axes to his customers :)

Given its crude design, I could imagine it as being little more than a semi-dull, re-purposed bit of iron or steel plate. Maybe even given to him for use as a mercenary in an army of orcs, ogres, or even humans.

Given that other recent posts on the fantasy forum also showcase airships, sentient (?) mushrooms, frogs with tits, and what appears to be a Bosch painting recreated in miniatures, I wouldn't blink twice at an oversized axe. lol

The transformation from the old paint job to the new is STUNNING. BEAUTIFULLY DONE!
