WIP Troll

[BobbieTheDamned]

Looking good Mortis, defenatly looks a little meaner now you've removed the floppy bunny ears!

[MortiS-the-Lost]

Thanks dude, I think the next stage will be adding some warts and scales and then finding a base for it ... I think I'll also add a loin-cloth to cover that the bastard has no pintel.

[BobbieTheDamned]

Yeah some sort of loincloth would put him more in stead with the warhammer trolls too. You've got a pretty heafty collection of trolls now huh? think the only kind I've not seen you have would be a river troll and I have one of those somewhere!

[MortiS-the-Lost]

no I do have a River Troll you've seen it it's the one with the converted topknot, I'll put some pic of all my trolls up when I have more of them finished

[Billiam Babble]

Simple but very effective!

(Much better than my early Space Marine conversions to Chaos using cocktail sticks and plastic fork prongs ...)

[BobbieTheDamned]

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that one, that's an awesome model. You really should do a showcase of all the differant monster types you have, I bet it'd be a fair number of differant types.

[MortiS-the-Lost]

Yes I think a Large Monster showcase is in order

[MortiS-the-Lost]

Well I had some greenstuff left over from another bit of conversion work I was doing the other night, so I picked up the plastic Troll again and added a few scales. It’s starting to look quite Warhammer-y now


I’ve also noticed that in it’s original state the miniature bore a strong resemblance to a creature on a Magic: The Gathering card


I’m not going to steer my conversion this direction at all, in fact the stupid ears had to go IMHO and I’m not about to go adding an extra set of little T-rex arms to it’s waist, but if anyone out there for whatever reason wanted a miniature of whatever the hell MTG creature is, I’d recommend this a good starting point … you mad bastard

More Trollish body building fun when I’ve found a nice rock or something for the base …

Just shows that conversion do not all have to be major surgery.It does look better(the long ears were silly)...........in my ignorance when I saw 'WIP Troll' I expected to see a Troll with long tentacle fingers like 'bullwhips'?

You say that now, but but there's a lot more work to be done on this yet ...
