Continuing the Slambo theme I finished up the new guy. Near the end of painting him I dropped him and snapped his delicate resin axe off. After much swearing and a cool down period I easily glued the axe back on and finished his base off. I'm happy with him and it's quite a nice model.

Here he is with his predecessors.

I also decided it was about time I made some decent dungeon tiles. The 3D ones were cool but impractical. So armed with some blue foam I knocked this up.

I've just had a pleasurable few minutes looking over this thread with a cup of char in hand. It's all most excellent, but I am especially pleased to see Bob Olley's Ral Partha Trolls getting some love - the blue skin is an especially unique touch. Oh, and that dungeon tiles looks particularly crusty, which is of course positive. More of that please.

Here are links to pics of some of my Olley Trolls, if you are interested:

Looking great, 3 generations of Slambo painted up in an iddentical scheme

.
Still, I like the Heroquest version best, even though it's the least detaild one. The current Slambo, it just lacks something, don't know what but it doesn't work me...

Superb!

I agree - I've always preferred the single-axed version. There's something about double axes that just doesn't work for me - the difficult of edge alignment, I think. And the new Slambo looks to have even odder proportions than the original: good childbearing hips, to say the least!

All three look great here, though - top-notch paintjobs! It's a really nice - and original - colour scheme.

Love those earthy tones on your trolls. Really emphasise Bob Olley's awesome sculpts. I can't get enough of them.

I agree with you both about the HeroQuest Chaos Warrior. He's my favourite too, from a nostalgia point of view and I think his armour is the best. I also like the single big axe over dual wield. I love painting those old plastics up.

Wow those Slambos scale fairly well together. I expected the new one to be HUGE!
I love the black orcs as well. Some of my favourite GW minis from that era too.

Very nice, both the tile and slambo, I agree with you guys I like the hero quest one best, I think the axes on the new one are too weeny

Gutbukkit · « **Reply #82 on:** March 15, 2017, 08:01:40 PM »

I finished up a few more dungeon tiles.

Gutbukkit · « **Reply #83 on:** March 26, 2017, 07:22:24 AM »

A couple more tiles done and a throne room.

Finding myself painting Skaven once again but a newer model this time. One of my favourite miniatures to come out of the newer Skaven.

Needing a break from painting goblins for Lord of the Rings, I painted up this Barbarian. I'm often quite daunted by Red Box sculpts initially until I start to paint them and the details reveal themselves. Some of my favourite characterful RPG miniatures around.

Lovely additions, Mr Bukkit!

I am a particular fan of that Rat Ogre and it is great to see your version.

Gutbukkit · « **Reply #87 on:** May 19, 2017, 08:29:18 AM »

Thanks very much. This particular rat ogre is my favourite rat ogre (apart from the old Boneripper) so much so it's the second time I've painted him. This one I painted for a local toy store's painting competition and won second prize, a copy of Dreadfleet. Dead chuffed with the placing.

Gutbukkit · « **Reply #88 on:** May 21, 2017, 09:53:43 PM »

Another model finished before I go back to work tomorrow. Need to find the rest of his brothers now.

Those Red Box gobbo brutes are lovely models, and you have done it justice here. Very nice indeed.
