Here is the classic monster promised in my last post: Grenadier's Troll from the Denizens of the Swamp box set. I love the gnarly, thin, and long-nosed trolls from D&D's past and I had a good time painting this guy. The limited palette meant that it painted up pretty quickly too despite the fact that I am an incredibly slow painter. This is the third mini I've painted from the Swamp set and it may be a while before I get to them, but eventually I'll paint the rest.
I also recently painted the hawk from Reaper's Animal Companions I pack. One of the players in the D&D game I'm running has a hawk "animal minion" and this was for him. It's fairly small. To give a sense of scale: the base is 20mm.
More vintage lead and other random minis to come...
Hah, I bet I'm a slower painter than you!... ok maybe that's not a competition to have. Anyway, that is a classic old school Grenadier figure. Maybe not too dynamic or as crisp as newer things but a great concept and perfect for D&D etc. Your mucky swamp base suits him perfectly too, I really like it.
ReplyDeleteThe hawk is great, really natural-looking colours. I love their animal figures.
