Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Female Stone Giant (Wizkids)

May 21, 2020 scrollmaster

While I feel I have a good technique for painting dragons, I struggled with giants. in fact, I have a complete set of giants my wife has bought me that I am scared to make a start on… or at least I was because I have started now with this female Stone Giant. I had to paint her fast so this was done fast. Painted skin grey, painted cloth in various contrast paints. Inked it all with Agrax Earthshade and drybrushed with a bone colour. Done! I actually think she turned out alright for a speed paint job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lSQzZtoBU8

Dungeons and Dragons Warhammer 40.000 – Rogue Trader – Hrothyogg – Ogre Captain (Games Workshop)

April 10, 2020 scrollmaster

I am a big fan of the old Rogue Trader Orks. They have so much personality. But back when i played Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader, I didn’t have access to the fantastic Ogres and Ogryns from Citadel. So it has been a pleasure suddenly being able to paint not just this amazing Ogre by Jes Goodwin, but also an Ogryn in such a short span of time. Due to the size of this Ogre, I want to use it as a a Half-Ogre for Dungeons & Dragons. And as such i wanted him to have a bit more civilized looks…

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Troll (Blood Rage)

I saw this Troll mini by chance and I ordered it on the spot. What a fantastic powerful badass of a troll. However, I left it too late to paint him so ended up using contrast paint and a lot of drybrush and honestly, I am quite happy with the result.

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Ogre Chieftain (Reaper Miniatures Bones)

March 26, 2019 scrollmaster

So… it is rare I buy a miniature without purpose, but this ogre chieftain from Reaper Bones is just so badass I had to get him. He is literally a walking tank! I think him and this Orc Warlord would be a good tag team to make our party respect the greenskins again.

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Fomorian (Wizkids)

January 25, 2019 scrollmaster

When I started up Dungeons & Dragons last year, I started with a team of people either completely new to RPGs or had some limited experience back in school. That, combined with the fact that I have to relearn a game I hadn’t played for over 20 years, meant I focussed on creatures both they and I would recognise from books, movies etc. creatures like goblins, trolls, elves, orcs, hags, wyverns, unicorns etc. I did plan to introduce more unfamiliar adversaries this year, but the Fomorian is one of those monsters I quickly skipped past in the Monster Manual. The…

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Ogre Santa Bear Eater (Scibor Miniatures)

December 4, 2018 scrollmaster

When I was planning my D&D Christmas oneshot for 2018, I was roaming the internet to find Christmas themed miniatures and found this crazy Ogre Santa from Scibor Miniatures. It arrived two days before the game, but with Dragonmeet 2018 in between, I had little time to paint it, so I ended up speed painting him as fast as I could. Sure I could have chosen a wider range of colours, made more details etc, but overall I’m happy with the result.

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Trygve, Forest Troll Shaman (North Star Military Figures)

October 30, 2018 scrollmaster

Contrary to Grogspar, the Mercenary Troll and the Hill Troll from Reaper, both which I am using as Ogres, the Forest Troll Shaman from North Star is exactly my idea of what a Troll should look like, which is driven from my childhood in the Nordics where trolls just look a certain way. The movie The Troll Hunter is a great representation of Nordic trolls except they behave more like animals.

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Hill Troll (Reaper Miniatures)

October 30, 2018 scrollmaster

As with the super cool Troll Mercenary Boson Grogspar, I will be using this badass Hill Troll from Reaper as an Ogre or half Ogre as Trolls in Heden Rei, the world we play D&D in, are more feral and more like nordic trolls. I got this troll from my fiancée in a box full of mixed miniatures when we started D&D early 2018. Very pleased with how the leather turned out on this one

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Troll Mercenary Boson Grogspar (Privateer Press)

October 30, 2018 scrollmaster

While I don’t play Privateer Press games anymore, I still love their minis and some of them have that quirky personality and character I loved about Warhammer 40.000 Rogue Trader Orks and this fantastic Trollkin sailor is a great example of this. Pipe and dynamite strapped to his harpoon… what more do you need? However, for Dungeons and Dragons I’ve used him as a half-ogre instead as in my D&D world trolls are more feral and tend to be inspired by trolls from the nordics where I originally come from. Actually check out the movie The Troll Hunter to get a…
