Life of a Trollblood

Currently I am working on Warders. I have 2 painted and 2 that are getting their base coat before I wash them. I typically leave the unit leader as the last one that I paint. It is such a satisfying feeling to get the whole unit finished and even tho the more models you paint in a unit you want to just be done but I leave him for the last so I make sure to slow down and take my time with him to make sure he stands out a bit. I feel like I am a slow painter when it comes to speed. I wish I could pound out a model every hour or even every 2 hours would be nice but I am not that fast.. well not if I want it to look better than my 6 year olds paint job that is. Next up on my list of things I want to paint. Front arc's I plan on going through all my painted models and lining them up and getting all of them taken care of. Now that I'm posting my models online I'm a little embarrassed that my bases are not finished. I will post pictures of the finished warders when I get to th...

Mulg the Ancient On a large base this guy packs a punch. He is one of my favorite all time models. Out of all the models I have played on a table at my local hobby store this one gets the most comments. People either love or fear Mulg. As far as Caster/Warlock kills this guy does rank up there as a model that gets the job done. I didn't give him the traditional "Blood for the kill" but that is because I don't have tons of time to paint. I am hoping that will change and I will be able to devote some time every week to painting. Here is my MULG! No front arc. Uggg, I will be painting front arc's on lots of my models soon and I will get an updated Picture up here once I do. My brother is a great painter and I still have not caught up to him in skill. I do love the pointers that he has given me and tricks that I have learned from him. This model is still one of my personal favorites as far as the paint job on him. After painting this model is when I decided tha...

Troll Axer! In my opinion this is the best light beast Trollbloods have. Rush is just amazing on basically every model you can put it on. I mean, I would rather have the Str buff from the Mauler but in a game where you have to go get your prey +movement is awesome. This is the very first Trollblood model I ever painted. The first primer I used back then was Gritty so he ended up "lumpy" I had this great idea that I would add blood to the weapon of any model that had a killing blow on a Caster/Warlock and so the blood was added after. I think he still looks good even tho he has been chipped up. I have not played recently because of life but I have a renewed desire to get these models back on the table and get back to painting them. Because the Axer is so helpful I have another one that has earned paint and game time also. I painted both these Axer's before I found the color scheme I wanted. So, he has no Yellow on him just yet. Well other than the welp...

I painted this model a long long time ago. This was not my first Horde Trollblood that I ever painted but pretty close. I figured I would share it with you all for your viewing pleasure. Even way back then I did not like my models to look the same so I shaved this one and he is better looking because of it. You can see some of the nicked paint from me playing him. Back then I front arc'd my models in Red but I plan on making it universal among all my models. My favorite part about this guy is his Quiver. He does not see the table as often as he use to because of the changes they made to him. I normally don't have much of a ranged game at all. Maybe one day I will learn a new method of trolls not just the good old fashion "Axe to face".

The Troll Bouncer! One of the most heroic poses with a shield! looks like he is ready to take a pounding. This is a Trollblood light beast called Troll Bouncer. I am a little bit of a slacker when it comes to the bases and the front arc. I tend to get a couple models that need the arc's before I get around to doing them. So technically he is not done. I think he looks good and I am happy with how he turned out. As far as game play.. Well lets just say I will let you know the next time he hits the table now that he has some paint on him. There are 3 reasons I have taken him in the past. His animus makes the model not able to be moved or knocked down. He has shield guard and can keep a squishier model alive. and the third reason is because I own him and he is a good looing model. Let me know your thoughts on the Bouncer, my Paint job or your tactics. WOOT! Finished my warders and I decided to spend a little time on Bases and Front arcs. Here he is in his sweet, swee...

Picking only 6 Warlocks for my list building was difficult. My final decision will largely be affected by the unpainted models that I have. I find that I paint better if I am excited about a model and one good way to help me get excited about a model is to use it on the table and in building lists. Even tho we only get to pick six, we are able to use all the different incarnations of the Warlock with one exception, once a later version of the warlock is used the previous versions cannot be selected. We have created a map of 10 total locations with different characteristics on each of them so the map changes and has an effect on each game. ****Exalted Valley**** All about magic zones and anti magic zones ****Alst Bay**** Swampland stuff, I better pack the rain boots. ****Alohr Tundra**** Frozen Wasteland, Blizzards/freezing models. ****Jakron Pillars**** -Lightning Rods              ...
