Trolls :)

[morsla]

It's been far too long since I had anything to post pictures of. I've hardly had time to look at my painting desk for the last few months, but I've finally managed to find time to assemble my Trollblood models for Hordes. Of course, putting together multi-part figures "as they come" just doesn't quite feel right, so I got out the putty and tried to mix things up a bit...

I also had a chance to try sculpting some more details - pouches (cloth), armour (inorganic lines), muscles (organic curves), and building an axe head with runes carved into the guard. New putty makes a big difference, as it's much easier to work with. Sculpting during the day also helps... to get a smooth finish on surfaces like armour, you need to bevel the surface after about an hour. Any earlier and the putty is too sticky to get a smooth surface from; much later and the surface has cured. This is a problem when the "one hour mark" would normally occur around 3am.

Impaler #1
Made from an Axer's torso, Impaler's legs/head/quiver/arms


Impaler #2
Made from an Axer's legs + Impaler's torso/head/arms/quiver


Axer
The most involved conversion... my axer was miscast, and didn't have his axe head. I figured that was a good excuse to make a bloody great axe :) Apart from the head, left forearm and hands, the rest of the model is taken from Impaler parts. I also added some armour, to bulk him out a little.



Madrak
Madrak is the closest to a "stock" model in the group... I removed one of the scroll cases hanging off his neck, and turned the other one to hang towards the ground. I also removed the spike from the end of his axe, as it looked a bit fragile...


I won't get a chance to paint them for at least a couple of weeks, but I'll post some pictures when they're done...
