I had this firbolg miniature back when I played Drager og Dæmoner in the 80s and re-aquired him recently in a lot of miniatures. I painted him up as statue of the God Sol the Dawnbringer for our recent D&D campaign. His hair is made of the reflective “sun stone” in the campaign so I […]
My wife bought me this badass troll for Christmas a while back and i finally got around to paint him. It was a speed paint job: Spray grey, drybrush with bone and ink Agrax Earthshade. Paint all crystals white. Several layers. Cover crystals in purple shade holding the mini upside down to help the darker […]
What a fun and menacing gang of… pig ogres?! From Monkstone Miniatures. These have been in my Gallery of Shame from before we moved to Copenhagen in 2020, but with contrast paints and speed paints being a thing, I finally got around to paint them. The fairytale gang I painted these minis from 3 […]
I don’t remember when I bought this mighty werewolf giant. It is one of those that’s been in my Gallery of Shame for a long long time. But with the emergence of contrast paints and speed paints, painting large minis like this has become less daunting so I finally got this one finished. I’ve added […]
I bought the Rising Sun board game as I wanted to add some oriental type monsters as muscle for my Rakshasa boss. I painted the Oni of War as the first one, and now I got a chance to paint the other three just in time for our D&D party to face them in an […]
By chance I found out about the Rising Sun board game and really like the oriental themed miniatures. I bought the game knowing I might never play it, but the minis I will find a way tyo use in D&D. The first one I’ve finished is this impressive Oni of War. Fun to paint and […]
I actually bought this fantastic Forest Troll back in 2018 together with this Troll Shaman. I really love both these miniatures. They feel so much like fantasy versions of the classic Scandinavian folklore trolls. I did start painting the miniature last year to fit our Troll Hunt campaign, but other miniatures got in the way. […]
2022 is ending and it looks like this Giant from Marauder Miniatures (from 1990) will be my last miniature of the year. And what a miniature! I used to sell my warhammer armies once I had painted them and frankly I never regretted selling any of them… but I did regret selling my original Marauder […]
For our current troll-focused D&D campaign, I needed a Troll leader that would really stand out and I think Janissa Stonetide from Privateer’s Trollblood line is awesome. To make her stand out even more, I decided to give her a very bright green skin, whereas my other trolls tend to fall into darker themes. This […]
These were quick and fun to make. If you have spare miniatures you do not know what to do with, you can quick paint them into stone statues (aka medusa victims). But another quick way to get use out of such minis, is to make them into ghosts. Simply spray them white and give them […]
As our current campaign is focussed around a growing pack of unusually well organised trolls, it has given me a chance to paint awesome Trollkin minis from Privateer Press. This group here reflects a gang of Trolls who have managed to armour themselves.
One of the things I like about Privateer Press’ miniatures is how much the Trollkin miniatures reminds me of the Growlers from the long dead Vor The Maelstrom game. But at the same time they have their own identity and character. For our current Dungeons & Dragons campaign called “The Troll Hunt” I need trolls, […]
