Marienburg vs. the Undeadish (update: undead & spooky stuff)

[beefcake]

  that's hilarious.
Is that the Black Scorpion Giant? Very nice.

[Barbarus]

That giant is a beauty.
I cannot believe someone would sell it... especially after giving it that kind of paintjob.

[LordOdo]

You might consider giving the giant some kind of glasses ... :D

[von Lucky]

Nice score - the only way is up.

[Duncan McDane]

Probably sculpted & painted by a longtime secret admirer of yours  .
Great fig ( the right one too  ), Forgeworld?

[ZeroTwentythree]

Yes. He's from Black Scorpion's fantasy pirate range. Doesn't seem to be in production anymore (or not listed on the web site, at any rate.)

[DeafNala]

That is an OUTSTANDING Giant BEAUTIFULLY painted & based. The resemblance is uncanny. VERY WELL DONE!

[ZeroTwentythree]

Not my work. He arrived that way. I would love to let whoever did paint it know how great I think it is!

The Trio looks WONDERFUL or potentially so. The Fellow doing The Monster Mash is going to be FANTASTIC!

Although I haven't painted him yet, he's possibly my favorite giant. Glad I had the chance to get one, and hope to paint him up soon!



Still unpacking, posted some more things I unearthed: http://www.zerotwentythree.com/2016/08/the-unpacking-continues-lost-causes.html
(Not really "lost cause," maybe I should have called it "very long term plans yet to be completed" or something like that.)

More thoughts on giants. I'm not sure if I can make it yet, but I'd like to attend the Oldhammer in the New World event coming up soon and get a little bit of 3rd ed. on for the first time since I was young. I was thinking about what I could do... finish enough Fimir for a small list? Empire? With all of the time lost in our move, I don't think I can get the former ready in time, and for some reason I'm not feeling the call of 3rd ed. Empire at the moment.

I half-jokingly considered (and mentioned on the FB group) using a mercenary list for a full army...



Not something that I, or probably most opponents, would want to see on the battlefield as a regular thing. But seems like it could be a fun diversion, and a few people enthusiastically mentioned they'd be willing to face off against an army of giants.

Considering the practical issues of using a bunch of giants, I thought it would be easiest to have a bunch of pre-rolled giants. That would avoid spending a lot of time rolling them all up before each game, and would also give me a chance to make some stat cards for both myself and any opponents.

Since I'm not quite set up for painting yet, and don't have a lot of time, I did take a bit of time to indulge in some prototype giant cards...



Stats were "rolled" up using dicelog.com. I'm still figuring out how to make the recorded logs public -- otherwise I would add a link here. What I will do is have one of these made for each giant, number them, and randomly roll up which giants are being used before each game. Unless they're all slated to rumble, of course.



Giant Rumble

A while ago I had started jotting down some ideas for a Giant Rumble game. All giants, no popcorn. So I'm thinking about revisiting this idea and may post some rules in future.

[ZeroTwentythree]

In which I babble about music and post some more giant stat cards...

Also, I have almost got a painting desk set up!!!  

[MagpieJono]

I think stat cards in general are a good idea and make things simpler during a game but when they also contain a beautiful photo of the unit they're all the better. Might plagarise that idea!

There was a Giant list in the original WHFB (1st Edition) supplement called "Forces of Fantasy" I had a bunch of Grenadier giants and the used them as an army using this list. I found a PDF of it and it is pretty cool and there are some fun rules which a lot carried over to the 3rd IIRC.
