From MarkB: Uzgrub the Troll champion - Pit and Pendulum (35 points)

 For the next chamber in the dungeon I needed something terrifying. I’ve been painting a Realms of Chaos warband or two over the last few months and rolled up a Troll. I’d already got a few Trolls in my Orcs and Goblins army but fancied painting a new one for it. I purchased a few of this figure (Grenadier sculpt now sold by Miriliton and Forlorn Hope) because they were very cheap and affordable Trolls. They are also easy to convert into cool unique figures.

 

I’ve converted them fairly heavily with greenstuff. For this one I’ve added a Minotaur pelt and horns, a new mouth - because the gaping awkwardly face was one of the weaker parts of the original sculpt and done a simple conversion on the pick axe turning it into a ferocious warhammer! I also added some classic Oldhammer style mushrooms out of wire and greenstuff as a homage to those fantastic Kevin Adam’s paint jobs from the 80s.

This is the original figure!

Uzgrub will make a fine addition to my warband and with the pelt from a Minotaur champion on his back his prowess to the dark gods has been proven!

He’s in 28mm but a pretty big figure so I’m going to claim 8 points for him. Plus 20 for painting something terrifying. He’d certainly have me running the other way if I met him on a dark night!

8 +20 = 28 points. 

Cheers
