Alright I'm going to make an official WIP now. Starting with my resin Troll Chieftain

that's just.. great! :shock:

really nice armour! I like it a lot!
ps: did you had some problems with the model 'melting'? I read it in another post somewhere that they'd 'melt' if you'd held them to long in the sun, wondering if it's true..

Ritcherd · **Posted:** Mon Jun 13, 2011 6:13 pm

thanks, and no, I've not heard that actually. I had no real problems making or painting it, only the plastic glue didn't work so I had to use metal glue

Eaothen-the-brave · **Posted:** Mon Jun 13, 2011 6:21 pm

Ok, thanks for the quick reply!

Now I'll feel save when painting them.

Ritcherd · **Posted:** Mon Jun 13, 2011 6:39 pm

it's not exactly sunny where I live anyway. But yea, no problems with painting it at all. However I must admit, I prefer metal over resin. Resin is brittle. oh well, i've got a back-up weapon if that sword ends up breaking off

Eaothen-the-brave · **Posted:** Tue Jun 14, 2011 7:25 pm

Oh well, it's not meant to break off I suppose so let's hope you won't be needing that spare weapon

If all weapons would just break off if they're becoming to warm.. well.. that's just (how could I say this without using inapropriate language..?) It costs enough allready, GW could only be so kind to sell us some stuff worth buying with that price.. like weapons not breaking off for example number 1..

But, besides that, I'd like to see more of your miniatures, they look great so far, oh well, I suppose the others will look as good as Mr. troll here :yay:

Nice troll - indeed lovely armour

Ritcherd · **Posted:** Sun Jul 10, 2011 11:43 am

I've decided to upload some more things here, some Easterlings and my Cave Troll that used to be a Mordor Troll. Oh, and Gimli.

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Sun Jul 10, 2011 11:55 am

The troll looks good and I like the easterlings and khand too, but my favourite is Gimli. Splendid highlighting, I just think it would look nicer if the axe handle wasn't the same colour as the rest of his clothes. Good job either way.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Sun Jul 10, 2011 11:56 am

I love the colour schemes on your 'cave' troll and evil men especially those Khandish warriors, they look great!

I am not really fond of the troll, but the others are great! Maybe u need to add some colours to the troll? Might do alot.

Ritcherd · **Posted:** Sun Jul 10, 2011 1:02 pm

I'm bad at painting trolls.. seriously cant do it for some reason

Ares B · **Posted:** Sun Jul 10, 2011 1:12 pm

Even trolls get the blues. How about washing him with something brown and dirty?

Ritcherd · **Posted:** Sun Jul 10, 2011 1:15 pm

I've got a drop, literally, of brown ink left. I may be able to do it

Nice work...I liek the prototype Easterling colors...
The troll reminds the trolls from warcraqft :rofl:

You have a very "clean" painting style, I like it.
I don't really like the blue troll as it's a bit to.. blue imo.
But the rest is very nice.

you only might want to improve your basing as that would make your minis a lot better.

His basing is quite a high standard in my opinion.
