A very quick and easy paintjob to get me started. I like to do something seasonal for my first Challenge post, and with the mercury well over 30℃ these snow golems were perfect. They're from Nolzur's D&D minis, and required minimal prep. My painting technique of white undercoat, Speedpaint 2.0 Battleship Grey, drybrush white really brings out the mouldlines like I intended... I used some sparkly snow effect on the bases held in place with satin varnish, hopefully it holds.
They're tall, on 30mm bases, but I'll be more than happy with 10 quick points.

First, welcome back to the Challenge, Barks! We're on the other end of the temperature spectrum from yourself, with us here in Canada experiencing windchills at -30 currently. These's fellas would be quite at home here! I really like your ice/snow recipe, which provides a great backdrop to their 'happy' maws. Well done!
These two golems look to be at least 40mm high, so I'm going to score them at 7 each. 14 points to start your climb up the ladder, Barks!

DeleteSimple models but your paint job does them justice. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you need a quick win.
DeleteThey look very chilly, though at over 30 degrees I wouldn't expect them to stay that way for long.
ReplyDeleteNo, my snow knowledge is mostly theoretical!
DeleteExcellent snow hoodlums. Looks like they might need to visit the dentist to get the meat out of their fangs.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bruce!
Deletenice entry they would melt here very quickly. great to seeing your first entry, I wonder what will be next.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea- I'm all over the place hobbywise. Probably something grimdark.
DeleteTheir cool!
ReplyDeleteHa!
DeleteGreat start Barks
ReplyDeleteCheers, Matt!
DeleteNice painting and appropriate for winter - though no snow forecast for Midlands in UK!
ReplyDeleteHopefully no golems either.
DeleteLovely work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim.
DeleteThey look nice, even funny. :) Trolls and golems, is there a hidden theme for this Challenge?
ReplyDeleteI hope so!
DeleteNice work Barks, they're a happy couple of chaps!
ReplyDeleteThey are more jolly than I expected!
DeleteThey make deep winter look deceptively fun...
ReplyDeleteCome and play...
DeleteI quite like these, Barks! I did not notice the mold lines, but I have also painted quite a few of those DnD miniatures and those mold lines are quite jarring. ;) I love the red toothy maws and I may need a couple packs of these for frostgrave!
ReplyDeleteI look forwards to getting them into a game.
DeleteThose are hilarious looking - nice work!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Dallas!
DeleteDa Barks is back! Great monsters mate!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sander!
