Especially the rock, impossible to get it more realistic than yours. What colors did you use?

All the rock in the picture is painted the same and its fairly easy.
I use for all my terrain cheap D.I.Y. store colour toner paint. You know the stuff you mix with white house interior paint to make your own colours

This is the stuff from a german store.
I mix brown, black and white to make a grey/brown colour and paint the whole rock. Then i add some white and do a heavy dry brush coat. With some more white mixed in i do another dry brush coat but this time more lightly.
To get the granite look right i looked at a lot of pictures of dartmoor granite "Tors" (outcrops) and realised they are full of spots, sort of sprinkled.
To do this effect i used very watered down white and black paint. I dipped an old brush in the wash and "flicked" the tip of the brush with my finger at the rock. Test on newspaper first, the first "flick" is usually too heavy. (word of warning - do it in a box or something similar, It flies much further than you expect. I mean it flies across the table, over the floor and onto the fridge

)
You can see the effect best on the second frost giant picture on the rock on the left.

Really nice brushwork on both of those big lads.
The Frost giant really works for me.

As for the yips on the rocks, that is spot on too.
For that type of rock it nails it completely.
Great tip!

Thank you Steam Flunky,
mine always look a bit too grey and too "flat/clean" at the end stage, that's why I was wondering about your tricks for the natural effect.

What a lovely paintwork, Rob, and amazing photography! Great show

Next one done - The Mystic Troll.
It was this miniature that convinced me to pledge the kickstarter. I am happy with the result but to tell the truth i prefer the giants and the other troll more now (the other troll is nearly finish - will post soon).

Fantastic!

Admiral Benbow · « **Reply #25 on:** November 01, 2015, 02:15:58 PM »

Very lovely, err, in a sense ...

Prof.Witchheimer · « **Reply #26 on:** November 01, 2015, 02:17:40 PM »

Awesome figures and amazing paintwork. Damn, I'll have to get the miniatures one day.

Elbows · « **Reply #27 on:** November 01, 2015, 02:41:45 PM »

My favourite of the monster figures in the box...wonderful stuff.

Knightofspades · « **Reply #28 on:** November 02, 2015, 06:37:06 PM »

Very nice. The shades and colours on the backpack is really pleasing to the eye.

The Big Guys of Varying Skin Coloration are all BEAUTIFULLY painted & base with an OUTSTANDING color selection...I've got to admit the Troll is my favorite. What really make the minis for moi is the FANTASTIC terrain you used as settings. VERY WELL DONE!
