Gutbukkit's Fantasy Thread - Putrid Blightking
« on: April 11, 2016, 05:19:43 PM »
Hi all. I'll be using this thread to post any of the painted fantasy models that don't have a specific project dedicated for them. I'll be using the stuff here in many games from Frostgrave to dungeon crawlers.

First up, a troll from Ral Partha. Lots of fun to paint. 4 more on the painting table and next month I'll buy the remaining trolls.

Great troll! I like the way you did the rust, and the base gives a good contrast to the rest of the figure.

Lovely - terrific paintwork! And the base is magnificent.

Those Bob Olley trolls are great - they're very much how I imagine those from Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword.

They look tremendous. How do they scale with a 28mm humanoid miniature? I was interested in these for my Kings of War orc army, but I was afraid they could be a bit small.

They are mounted on 40mm round bases if that helps. Not as big as most other trolls but still taller than human size. I'll get a comparison shot later if I remember.

Edit: Here's a comparison photo. Hope it helps.

Third troll is finished. Only two more to go until I need to place an order with Ral Partha for the rest of the murderous band.

These look stunning, mate, both paintwork and bases.
 :-* :-*

I feel that I will add these to the unpainted Mordor horde at some point, they would work really well with what I already have.

Those Ral Partha trolls are great sculpts and you have painted them super.
I dont think i would have risked doing blue skin but you have pulled it off great.
