From ReillyOG: The Aquifer and Curtgeld - Swamp Trolls and Khazrak One-Eye!(93 points)

Here lies the end of my painting dryspell. After dredging through a solid 70 goblins(of 200) I quickly burnt myself and only just managed to break it with some fun stuff. 

First, I've finally decided to enter the Snow Lord's Dungeon through the Aquifer, and who better to help me in than this merry band of River/Marsh Trolls! A unit of 6, this unit is made up of trolls who have made a habit of camouflaging themselves with all sorts of vegetation in the deep of the river waiting for passers by to provide a lovely lunchtime snack. These were a tonne of fun to do, especially returning to joyous muscle blending after the sea of boring hoods and cloaks that are night goblins. This was also the first time experimenting with some water basing, and while I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, im not keen to figure out water features that are a little more extreme than the humble puddle.

Had to get a close up of my favourite of the bunch.  Once upon a time this Gurrogg here was sent to raid the holiday home of a Empire noble, he came across the exotic Koi pond in the yard. After eating most of the fish (cause what else is there to do with a fish), he noticed that the fish here were a lot shinier and prettier than the boring brown fish in the rivers of the Drakwald. So, from that day forth, Gurrogg has carried around the fish as both a trophy and a friend. He's even named the fish "Gwub". Some of the goblins swear that there is something else in the river chasing this prized fish but the troll barely seems to care(or notice).

Enough with that nonsense, on to the star of the show and my entry for the Curtgeld, Khazrak One-Eye! This feller here is one of the most famous beastlords to grace the Empire with his unholiness due to the fact that Khazrak possesses a ruthless cunning far above his more bestial kin. Kharak and his relentless herds spare no one and have consistently been a major pain in the backside for the populous of Middenland. (Only now do I realise I'm a tad late with the Curtgeld entry, apologies)

He possesses the Scourge whip which is described as: "Scourge is a lethal whip, wrapped in the bitter curses of many generations of Bray-shamans. Its cruel barbs can tear out great chunks of flesh, causing the victim tremendous agony." In order to reflect how cruel he can be, this model totes a hefty 9 skullz all on its own.

All up, points total should be 105 93 points:

River Trolls: 6x10 8 points

Aquifer: 20 points

Khazrak One-Eye: 5 points(and 9 skullz)

Kurtgeld: 20 points

Happy painting all!

From ScottM: River Troll at Piper's Peak (37 Points)

Continuing my trek down the Path of Imagination, I arrive at Piper's Peak. I look through my assorted primed figs to see what I've got that fits one of the three options.
        i) associated with mountains
       ii) taking a look (or peek)
      iii) displaying anger ('a fit of pique')
Unfortunately I didn't have anything that fit the first two choices, but I do have something for the third option.

I went with this Games Workshop River Troll bellowing out it's rage at the poor sod no doubt crossing it's bridge.

Nice figure to paint with lots of expression.

This completes Piper's Peak. Hmm, where to go next? I think I might charter a ride to the Snow Lord's Peak. Now where did my passenger go?

So that should net me 1 x 28mm foot fig = 5 +30 (location bonus) = 35 points.


That's a superb troll Scott - well worht a couple of extra points as he's clearly taller than a standard 28mm foot figure. I'm going to score him as a 40mm foot figure, so that's 37 points for you.
