Hello everyone!
Happy Holidays and Welcome to the Challenge!
As per tradition, I open the Challenge with our first entry of the season. This year I present to you Simon, Sophie and Anonymous, three hapless, grumpy and now calcified trolls who now provide shade for travellers, crevasses for moss and a nice place for the birds to nest and tend to their ablutions.
These models are 3d prints from Myminifactory. They turned out a little ropey here and there, but being trolls-turned-to-stone I figure they can be a little rough around the edges.
As their current state is, um, well, stone they were a pretty quick paintjob. A few passes with the airbrush, some drybrushing, washes, LOTS of tufts and BOOM, done.
The first-post hobby flurry was made even better as it was spent with the Antipodean crew who had set up a Paint & Chat to ring-in the Challenge. Thanks guys for keeping me awake as I cracked on with this lot!
____________________________________
Each of these trolls are roughly 54mm in scale, so we'll go with 10 points each, giving me 30 points to break the duck (and a Squirrel Point no less!).
Again, welcome to AHPC XVI. Let the fun begin!

Excellent opening entry Curt. In the Hadley household Christmas officially begins when the Challenge starts! 🤣🎄
ReplyDeleteVery nice work.
ReplyDeleteGreat start of the challenge. These figures remind me on "The Hobbit". 😉
ReplyDeleteI love the trolls caught by morning light....genuinely caught by morning light! ;) they do look perfectly ossified stone in the sculpt too!
ReplyDeleteAn excellent first post, Curt. The tufts make them feel like they have been there for a while.
ReplyDeleteGreat opening entry Curt! Nice looking minis! I especially like the pose on the one facing up and looking at the first morning light coming!
ReplyDeleteExcellent kick off Curt. The “stoned” trolls look the part and the tufts, with grass give them the “ I have been here awhile look”. Great start.
ReplyDeleteNice trolls- and great to see you on the chat today!
ReplyDeletevery nice work Curt!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on these. The quality of the prints gets lost in your tufts and grasses. They really sell this. Great work. I'll have to track down those files.
