AdamC: Cave Troll and Middle Earth Statures 33 Points

Some additional pick ups from the Gamer's  flea market last fall and its one of my favorites I went with the armored version rather than the unarmored Moria version. 

The trophy's hanging from his armor harness was a nice touch a call out to the terrible missiles fired into Gondor in the book (though not in the movie, I guess a rain of severed heads was too visceral for Peter Jackson)
This fellow has an interesting scaly skin it seemed a bit lizard like.  
The patched up shield is one of my favorite bits I did the patches in bronze instead of steel. 
Six Sutures that are also from the same set three standing and three fallen statues. 
I kept the palate simple, dark grey, black wash, light gray dry brush.  I added a little light blue in the deep part of the base where decoration or writing might once have been. 
Rear view of the statues not much to add here. 
The fallen statues can either be used in conjunction with the standing statues or I could replace them as battles occur resulting in the fall of a statue. 

Points the Troll is about 60mm tall (probably more if it stood up straight) so I will call it a 54 mm figure for 10 points. 
It seems best call the statures 28mm figures as they are terrain for that scale.  If we go with that the up-right ones are 5 points and the fallen ones 2.5 each that's 22.5 so let's call that 23 points. 

That's a big hulking brute of a Troll Adam.  Like the bronze patch on the shield.

I really like the statues, the boat trip past the giant statures was one of my favourite scenes from the films.  I agree on your points total.

Great to see that you are feeling well enough to paint again.
