A Monday Night Monster
Work continues on tidying up my trolls, this time - Grog Stuntycrusher. Unlike the previous trolls, Grog doesn't have many trophies or snacks. But is a great looking figure in a really dynamic pose. Ready for a bit of troll diplomacy.

I tried using Carroburg Crimson shade to create a bit of redness around his spots and around the joints to give the impression of a bit of soreness. Other that that it was a bit of highlighting on the skin and a quick wash on the fur.
Not surprisingly didn't take long to finish off Saruman's orc. As I only had to sort the base out and paint the shield. This is the only one from the set, I currently have so need to find the other two. Time for a eB*y.

Grog is a very characteristic miniature that looks like he's about to crush someone with that boulder - why not a hobbit?! Looking closer, we wonder if it inspired Aly Morrison's Cave Troll, which dates from a few years later (1987), despite the difference in style.
ReplyDeleteNice work on Saruman's orc shield. And now on the hunt for his companions - as Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas would say...
Both are great, but I do love the Troll and the pose. Pretty nice! And the skin on the Orc looks simply perfect!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. Each troll has its own character but work as a group.
