Earthborn Dire Troll

This is a great looking model with a remarkably dynamic pose.  Assembling this was my first experience filling massive gaps.  It’s amazing how poorly the pieces fit together.  Coming from Cygnar I’ve never had such gaps.  I think part of that comes from warjacks having natural locations for pieces to come apart as robots are expected to have linear separations for joints, armor plates, etc.  Living warbeasts on the other hand are expected to be one continuous surface (skin!), so there will be no ideal place for the model to come apart.  Still, pieces that fit together would have been great.

The Cygnar Hunter is one of my favorite ‘jacks. He sports an almost reptilian stance, like a predatory dinosaur on the hunt. His face has a bit of a mean, aggressive look to it, while the top of the chassis has a refined aerodynamic feel.

When it comes to the game one of the biggest distinctions the Hunter has is Pathfinder. I wanted to embrace this as I based him to give it the feel that he wasn’t just out on a flat battlefield, but he was in rough terrain, on the hunt. I decided to have him just coming down a bank and stepping into a forest stream.

On the hunt.
