One more entry for the Orctober challenge. Not orcs (it's good to change from time to time), but a huge troll to command my troll squad.
This is the fourth troll from Dark Alliance War Trolls set 1, the three others have been painted previously, see here and there.
As a chieftain, this guy has got a shield, which is simultaneously a defensive and an offensive weapon. I also wanted to give him an armour assembling pieces of various materials: iron, bronze and also copper.
I used the same color scheme as usual for the skin (troll skin, I mean), so nothing particular to say about this subject.
The metallic parts are more interesting, since I can paint what I like, which is corrosion (Corrosion, ins't there a Metal band with this name ?): rust for iron, and verdigris for bronze and copper.
Some close-ups to show the different sorts of corrosion:
I must say that I am quite happy with that shield :)
And the traditional family picture to conclude this post.
These minis are tall enough to represent trolls in my 28mm Orc army, which is fortunate since I should play a Kings of War battle against my son before the end of this week.
Probably no battle report to come (I can't play and take pictures, and many figures are not even painted), but I will tell you if this battle is a new disaster, I win less than once in ten games.
Hope you like these trolls :)
