Meet Gary, Gary Glacier.

Gary is a Glacier King for Trollbloods in Warmachine and Hordes. The Glacier King is a Gargantuan model which is a very large model standing about 10" tall. This is a huge model for me and I am not used to panting on this scale but I was really looking forward to it.

Clean up on this model was a real b#tch. I had to slice around 3cm of resin off his kilt and there is a lot of filler plugging gaps. I used Vallejo Putty which works a charm.

I put the core together, then I decided to paint the arms and head separately and stick him together later.

After an undercoat of light grey the base coats went on. I recently bought the P3 Trollbloods paint set and used the official colours for the skin. I then gave the skin a wash with Agrax Earthshade.

The icicle spikes were painted light blue and then washed with a dark blue wash, The the process of blending and highlighting started.

Then the snow needed a good couple of coats of white and then we were ready to stick it all together.

Next there are a few touch ups.

Lastly the job of painting and flocking the base, and Voila - meet Gary Glacier.

I can't wait to get Gary out on the table - I'll probably aim for Lords of Ruin in September - but I'll need lots of practice before then.

Cheers

From the painting bench...

One of the joys of having some time off is being able to get to the painting table for some concentrated efforts. With a few projects on the go I thought I would show whats been completed.

Infinity Merc Fig Musashi - a possible character for Infinity RPG

The Mongol Horde is coming to Impetus tables....soon

My order finally arrived from Wayland....well some of it did. Krielstone bearers for the Trollbloods in Hordes.

I have wanted to get this guy on the tabletop for quite a while now. I had been looking for something new from my Warmachine/Hordes and needed something to break my Grim habit. So for a change of pace I pieced together a few list ideas, painted him up and played a few games. I think this guy just might get me excited to play my Trollbloods all year!

Jag tror inte rida en björn!

 No, not that guy. This guy:

Borka, Vengence of the Rimeshaws

He is the new Warlock for the Trollblood faction in Hordes. He is a drunken warrior warlock who rides a bear into battle. Yep a Bear! How could I possibly lose?
Here is the list I have been testing out:

Borka, Vengeance of the Rimeshaws - WB: +6
-    Mulg the Ancient - PC: 12
-    Troll Axer - PC: 6

Horgle Ironstrike - PC: 3
-    Pyre Troll - PC: 4

Fell Caller Hero - PC: 3
Saxon Orrik - PC: 2
Stone Scribe Chronicler - PC: 2
Fennblade Kithkar - PC: 2
-    Stone Scribe Elder - Elder 1
Pyg Burrowers - Leader & 9 Grunts: 6
Pyg Bushwhackers - Leader & 9 Grunts: 8
Dannon Blythe & Bull - Blythe & Bull: 4

Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes - Leader & 3 Grunts: 3

It has a few things I want to be good but will need further testing to see if I cannot find a better alternative (looking at your Dannon Blythe & Bull). I feel I need some long range shooting hence the bushwackers. I am trying out a smaller battlegroup with the Pyre on Horgle to try to address the low fury score on Borka. Burrowers are there because Burrowers always get their points back.

So far my games have seen me up on control points after the feat turn. This is forcing my opponent to kill Borka or lose on Scenario. If that trend picks up I might have to squeeze in a bouncer. 

It did make me paint a few more models (basing them tonight):

Dannon Blythe & Bull

Saxon Orrik

The photos are not the best, it was done on my cellphone camera which will have to do while I find my camera charger.
Also you might of noticed the Wargames Factory boxes in the background. That is because I have poor impulse control and bought an entire Impetus army from Mighty Ape after a brief chat at work and a list sent from Tim.
Look out for my Gaul-ish updates to come.
