Hey Marshal!!

 Here's another dire troll, this time a blitzer.  (I promise to post some non-troll content soon...)  I like the blitzer, it just makes sense to strap a gun on top of a dire troll....stop looking at me like that...
 Most of my trolls still need mossy bits on their bases, but are otherwise done.  This year is the Year of the Troll (as you might have heard earlier) and these blue dudes are getting ready for GottaCon's doubles and team tournaments.
 Marshal gets a blue kilt, like Gunnbjorn's, marking him as part of the shooty kriel. On top, is Doody, with a strip of the same kilt as a scarf.
 I hope you like him...
 Until next round...

Sparky, Troll on Fire

 The pyre troll is an interesting one and arguably the best light beast in the faction.  Whenever I make a troll list I try to include Sparky, and now with the new sculpt out, I might get two.  He's a must against those dirty blighters and Menites.
 I'm not a big fan of the spitting fireball thing, I'll likely use it for a animus token, but I did sculpt extra fire on his hands and shoulders.  In my experience, more fire equals more fun!
 Sparky was painted in the same fashion as the others, with a purple wash on the skin instead of blue and an additional black wash n the metal.  The flames were done green as more of a swamp gas than regular fire (like on Marshal).  The inside mouth was done with a tentacle pink (p3) washed with leviathan, and I'm quite happy with the contrast.
More posts shortly!
Until next round....

Adrock, Fellcaller

 One of the main reasons I picked up trollbloods is their character models, and nothing says trollbloods like a fellcaller!  In case you don't know, a fellcaller is a trollkin hero who inspires his kin and kills his foes by yelling loudly.  (He's also pretty good with his swords).
 The model itself is pretty straight forward, with separate hands and digeridoo, but is packed with details like runes and buckles.  Since this guy is pretty important, he gets a second layer of cork to stand on as well as a snake.
 The red kilts are for the fellcallers (of which I will be collecting all of them), and signifying that they are from Grissel's kriel.
Until next round!

Dr Dre, Superdope Beatmaker

 My blog needs more troll posts, so here's Andre the bomber.
 The bomber isn't just a pretty face.  Someone decided that giving a dire troll explosives was a good idea, and I'm inclined to agree.  In a Gunnbjorn list he gets to drop two high-pow and large aoe hits a turn.
 The blue skintone was done the same as Gunnbjorn.  I started with shadow grey, 50/50 shadow/space wolf mix, blue wash, and more mix.  The pinker hands and belly is a final highlight with watered down elf flesh.  (mmmm....tasty elf flesh...)
 Being a shooty troll, Andre wears a blue tartan.  Painting plaid is slightly easier than diamonds, slightly.
 Being a plastic kit was nice, as the whole thing went together well, and he doesn't fall over and crush things.  There was just the usual troll neck-gap and minor flash.  I also found a pack of snakes who will be sprinkled across the army.
Until next round, be well.

Space Hulk Flesh Tearers - Sanguine Terminator

 Flesh Tearer progress continues with another cool conversion; the Sanguinary Priest.  Like the other medics, he gets a shiny white suit of armour.
 I really like the toolfist....
 I noticed as I was going through the pics that some of them still need heraldry on their hip-guards.  Will fix that soon...
Three more termies are on the bench, box 1 is filling up....until next round!
