I badly needed a break from all those Napoleonics and was starting to paint some old models. First one is a proper Troll. Not really Oldhammer but still 20 years old.
More soon!

I really love your choie of skin color...very nice indeed!
I'm a big fan of these 4th edition trolls...particularly the River trolls.

Re: Schrumpfkopf's army log
when those Trolls were released and shown in WD it was one of those "must have" moments.
I bought the whole set asap but never got further than a dark green base coat for a paintjob.
Thanks for showing me how it should be done. There will be some Trolls in a stripping jar soon.
I also like your choice of base. Is it just for the looks or a game system?

Re: Schrumpfkopf's army log
Thanks!
Re yellow: I bought the new Andrea yellow set and just had to do it!
Re rules: I am playing 3rd edition WFB and Hott.
I bought 2 more of these Trolls on Ebay for £20... Just couldn't keep myself from doing it.
At the same time I bought a box of 2010 Nightgobbos for £8 - I think that was a bargain and I like the sculpts, but I most of all have a fair few old unpainted command figs to spice them up. I already painted a small unit and I am now trying to source more.
Mum said that this isn't really an Oldhammer thing to do, but for me it's really about the price tag and the sculpts hehe.
Thanks!

Nice work.

Re: Schrumpfkopf's army log - update Gobbos
Yeah - I wasn't too serious about it being 'oldhammer' anyway - I mean - with prices for old stuff on Ebay being en par and sometimes much higher than with new stuff it comes again more down to what the models look like. That and I am really not opposed to buying non Citadel stuff.
Now on to the other 2 trolls. Sadly I have a1 head twice, so this will look a bit lame when the gang is ready.

I say, good fellow, that's some mighty fine night gobbos you have there.
A menacing little pack indeed.

Re: Schrumpfkopf's army log - update Gobbos
Those night gobbos look splendid. And as others have said, there's nothing Oldhammer...er than not giving a hang about where something comes from as long is it looks good. But I think my favourite part of this thread is the troll; the contrast between the skin tone and the hair/scales is what really gives it impact.

Re: Schrumpfkopf's army log - update more Trolls
I finally got around to paint the 2 others trolls I've sourced. I painted one blue because I ended up with 3 different bodies but only 2 different heads.
Blue Troll
Yellow Troll
I also made a proper base for the 3
And this is wha tthe gang looks like
Next thing in the queue are some Squigs and Nightgobbo herders.

Re: Schrumpfkopf's army log - update 90's Halflings
Still honing my black and yellow skills. This time with some Halflings in Landsknecht garb.
Why in the heavens are they so fat?

the traditional british answer to the question "why is x so fat?" is as follows.
Because every time x fucked your mum, she made x a sandwich.
