The Mountain King – finished at last

And here is the Mountain King, completed. He came out better than I had hoped.  It also didn’t take nearly as long as I was starting to think it would.  The problem was just not having time to paint, which seemed to drag it out.  In my last update I had attached all the extra chains, since then I primed them (brush on primer), then painted them using the standard metal technique shown in the Trollbloods book. One thing to keep in mind before painting the chains is to bend them into positions that will allow at least one additional contact point for more glue.  The chains are pretty sturdy, but giving two glue points makes them even stronger.

Got to play my first Trollblood (and therefore first Hordes) game on Tuesday.  While I remembered a lot of important things, I also forgot some too.  I took a minute to write them up in an effort to reinforce them in my memory.

First a quick look at my 50-point list:

• Hoarluk Doomshaper, Rage of Dhunia +6
  • Trollkin Runebearer 2
  • Trollkin Axer 6
  • Dire Troll Mauler 9
  • Earthborn Dire Troll 10
  • Mulg the Ancient 12
• Janissa Stonetide 3
• Troll Whelps 2
• Trollkin Fennblades (max) 8
  • Fennblade UA 2
• Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress 2 (more…)

Hoarluk Doomshaper, Rage of Dhunia (aka eDoomie)

My first Trollblood warlock: eDoomshaper. To start I want to run a big beast brick and that is eDoomshaper’s specialty.  This model had a surprising amount of detail, but not a very wide color palette.  Lots of browns.  I did my best to differentiate the browns of his hood and clothes versus his leather embossed armor. For the armor I used the studio scheme and tried to keep the rest of the browns a bit lighter. (more…)
