Thanks Almond, it's nice to have a fan :)
Progress on the trolls will slow a little now that I'm done with the WMHC2, so I can get back to some Menite models and get started on my Trib, but I still have some trollish metal to work on - Whelps, a Slag, a Mauler and Scattergunners, for a start.

Hay look, it is Hellboy!

Hay look, it is Hellboy!

Why did you say that? Now I have to buy him and mod him up...damn you.

Been a while, but with the Nightfall league upon us, I'm painting some more of my Trolls...

Great work on your Trolls. I've been doing some looking up on alternative paint-jobs for trollish skin (in other words: Trolls that don't look like Smurfs) today to get some inspiration and really enjoyed the yellowish + bright turquoise Trolls that have been posted on the old boards. The combination with bright pink seems to be working just as well.

[Aliengod3]

I really dig your Lug mini. The red armor and metallic rivets have a great look to them. Great job on all your minis! :D

My northern brother, that looks sharp.

I'm especially liking your Champs and the pale-looking Winter troll. Cool stuff.

Always loved hot pink, but there's not much already mixed in Reaper paints. What do you use to get your vivid colors?

[The_Minsk]

I love you dire troll reminds me of a punk. Nice looking stuff well done

The pinks are actually mixes of PP stuff... I assume you're talking about the rocky growths on the Mauler.

1. Base them in Sanguine Highlight
2. Mix of 2 parts Carnal Pink to 1 part Sanguine Highlight
3. Pick out the edges with Carnal Pink
3. Apply a thin wash of Sanguine Highlight

Thanks for the comments!

I love all the pink on Mulg.

[gdaybloke]

Man, it's been a while since I had cause to break out the Carnal Pink...

Ladies and gentlemen, the Ta-Ta's are back on the painting desk.

[druidsandstuff]

Especially loving the Runebearer. Very awesome!

[Bumblescrump]

The stone looks great. As someone about to start painting my circle I'd love to know how ya' did it.

My paint collection is a mix of P3 and GW, but it's pretty simple:

Base in a mid Grey (in this case, Codex Grey)
Drybrush a light grey (in this case, Fortress Grey)
Very light drybrush a white (in this case, Morrow White)
Liberal black wash (in this case, Badab Black)
Very light drybrush of the white again (and Morrow White again)

[Bumblescrump]

Sweet! Thanks a lot!

Very cool g'day. great job on that beast of a model ;)

[oxymoron]

These guys look freaking insane, and i am very jealous that i ddint think of pink first. good work!

Let's go to Candy Mountain, Charlie! Candy Mountain!

I'm sure Mulg wouldn't appreciate it, but I'm totally seeing rock candy growing out of his back.

[Misfire704]

Paint jobs like this make me simultaneously happy and sad. Happy because its always great to see an awesomely painted army, and sad because I'm not that good and probably never will be.

[Ruekial]

In time grasshopper I recall my first model I painted.... I think I still have it. Moral of the story: it never hurts to know where you started :)

[Mugu]

Love your paint scheme overall, the yellowish skin tone is great! Especially love your winter troll & rune bearer.

[gdaybloke]

Some pics of new stuff, and older completed models.

Lurve it! Especially the Trollkin Hero, that is a very cool model. I always love seeing unconventional armies being fielded! I would love to the looks on your opponents faces when you pull out pink 'n yellow trolls.

[gdaybloke]

Actually, one of my locals painted his Bloodgorgers to match... ;)

[Mod_Plarzoid]

Hey, these look great. Though this thread is missing soemthing...

Ah! Needs more group shot!

(Keep it up!)

[Kuwanger23]

Good job Bloke. I really dig the grey as well. You should come down to MA again on vacation this year lol.

[R.B.]

Great colour scheme for the tabletop!

[xxkvl385xx]

Hey g'day, just wondering how you did the skin on these guys,
If you don't mind telling me shoot me a pm and ill get my own version on the forums

Cheers mate

It was covered in Lost Hemisphere blog Here (http://losthemisphere.com/blog/?p=11457) is the post you need :)

[gdaybloke]

Pretty simple in the end. I paint with a mix of P3 and GW paints according to whatever I dig out of my tackle box of paints.

- Base was GW Tausept Ochre foundation paint
- Mid was P3 Sulfuric Yellow
- High was a mix of P3 Sulfuric Yellow and P3 Menoth White Highlight
- Wash with a thinned GW Gryphonne Sepia

By changing up the ratio of Yellow to White in the highlight step, different skin tones can be achieved, and or you can make different strengths of the White portion to highlight further and further.

I look forward to seeing your twist on it!

[EDIT} Ninja'd by Loftybloke! What a charming fellow...

[loftybloke]

Sorry man, I had it bookmarked from when I got the Trollbloods book, as I like the skintone you use :)

[gdaybloke]

Dude, you need never apologise for providing links to Lost Hemisphere!

[loftybloke]

"blokes" gotta stick together amirite? :P

[xxkvl385xx]

Thanks g'day
Itll be a long time before you see mine, but have you got any more painted trolls, if so put them up im interesed.
Cheers

[gdaybloke]

Been painting Menites for a while now, but I'll let you know when I get back to my Trolls - Gunnbjorn's theme awaits!

[xxkvl385xx]

Put any models u have painted up dude
I love all ur schemes and ur show but that's not the topic here, black lining ftw.
Cheers

[garwjenk]

I love your Troll Champion Hero, he is really sweet. Great model, and you really did it justice with the paintjob. The basing is excellent too, did you do that yourself or is it a topper from some company?

[gdaybloke]

It's a resin base from Dragonforge Designs, one of Lost Hemisphere's sponsors :)

[garwjenk]

Ah! I thought it looked familiar! :) It works really well with the model though. I may just have to get some... although trolls are already expensive enough...

[Wench]

I love the yellow skin tones, not so sure about the pink though......

Overall very nicely done.

I'm not sure why but the winter troll looks like he needs a guitar. His hand positioning just screams for it, maybe with an amp in front to explain his mane blowing back.
