I finished the second Cave Troll from the Knightmare Miniatures Green Skin Wars range to bolster my Night Goblin raiding party for Dragon Rampant. Once the third troll is finished, I’ll probably field them as a reduced model count unit of Bellicose Foot with Mystical Armour, to represent their regenerative abilities.
The troll doesn’t tolerate intruders in its cave
The Kickstarter campaign also included a bunch of… sentient mushrooms I guess? As anyone knows, Night Goblins and mushrooms go together perfectly, so I am painting them up as themed terrain, or maybe even a playable unit in their own right.
Strange magical energies have brought the cave fungus to life
The sculpting on the troll is once again excellent, and its facial expression one of the most characterful I have ever seen on a miniature.
Living in a dark, dank cave doesn’t encourage a sunny disposition
Better sneak out while he’s not looking
Mmmh, sweet mushrooms! ;)
As a fellow Night Goblin, I thought you might enjoy those!
Indeed! Top quality stuff :)
Nice work on the troll man.
Thanks, the sculpt lent itself to basic shading with washes followed by two stage highlights on the skin. Enough to let the model speak for itself.
Lovely minis – sooo much character! This is why I love Kickstarter :-)
So many talented sculptors out there, it’s great to see ranges like this being brought back to life and expanded upon. I’ll need to start planning for early retirement though if I want to have a chance of painting it all.
Nice work on the figures. I can’t for the life of me figure out what I did with my copy of Dragon Rampant.
Thanks! It’s more of a pamphlet than what I’d call a rulebook so I can see how it could get swallowed up in between all the other tomes. Makes it much easier to collect rulesets for alternative play styles and settings though, I’ve got plenty of options now to use my miniature collections in different constellations.
