Marauder Giant finished

[Battle Brush Sigur]

Heyhey, happy weekend. I painted the Marauder Giant to a degree that I'll call him pretty much finished. He's been standing on the sidelines in a half-finished state for long enough. There he is, being unimpressed with a detachment of would-be giant hunters.









To me it's just one of the most iconic GW figures ever. I bought him ages ago off a friend who got rid of his WHFB figures. Last christmas I gave him a start, but the very next night I put him aside. This year, to save me from tears, I thought I'd get him finished.

There are tons of things to improve and fix and all, but at least he's in a playable state, and that's always the main thing.


Hope you like him!

Lovely 

Lovely enough to forgive the Wham reference

Well that looks awesome. What a look he's giving whoever he's about to squash! Also I never realized it before having seen the model many times, but it seems plausible that Will Ferrell could play him in the movie!

Brilliant painting on an iconic miniature ! I’ve never liked it! But you’ve done a fantastic job!

@Dags: Thanks!

@OSHIROmodels: Oh, thanks very much!

@Frugalmax: Thank you. He does look like a character indeed. I tried to make the face look extra mean, but in the end we all love the guy.

@majorsmith: That is a lovely comment. It's rare to meet somebody who's been there when this figure was around and doesn't like it, but it's all fair and rather refreshing. Thanks!


Okay, after two comments I went back and fixed two things on the guy: The green shoulder got a bit of texture, highlights and shading.


...and the back of the left knee (which is a deep hole in the figure I made a bit less dark looking, after a friendly man on a German forum said that this didn't look healthy.


Sill a deep hole, but I think it's a bit better now. At least I'm happier with the guy now. After all: If you're gonna do it, do it right (right). *dances in a Wham!-ly fashion*.

    Very impressive!

Awesome classic giant!

A friend of mine had one, and he added a gigantic set of genitalia to the underneath, long enough to be visible on the thigh - it was hilarious 🤣

Another wonderful example of your brushwork

I believe for many years, it was law for each edition of the Golden Daemons to have at least one of these big bois as an entry. And yours would certainly not have been out of place there.

It's obviously a labour of love and it shows. Especially the freehand on the different pieces of cloth are excellent

I kicked my self for years because I did not pick him up back when he was in the shops.  You really nailed the paint on him!!  Congrats to you.

You’ve done an absolutely fantastic job

Magnificent!

Oh that's nice. Very nice.
Makes me wish I bought one when it was up for sale recently.

Beautiful result on this very challenging miniature. I never got round to paint my frost giant couple that I own for three decades now. They are still waiting for more than primer. Yours is fantastic and I admire the stamina to have it done!
