So I've been looking over my Trollbloods recently, and kicked off some painting on them. I've got an idea for a nice 500 point Trollblood force that I'd like to try out and I'm shooting to get it painted before I acutally use it. Luckily I pretty much have no serious opportunity to play before January so I have a shot of actually doing this. It also helps that the Fell Caller is not released until mid/late December, and one of those is key for fleshing out the force anyway. In addition to that I've got Jeff's customized Impaler and Axer looking at me wondering why they only have skin tones and some of the leather armor painted.

I've gotten Doomshaper mostly finished, I need to pick out a few more details on him and paint up his Tartan, shouldn't be too bad actually. The tartan design I've got working is pretty easy to execute, assuming I can get a steady hand for the pin striping. I accomplish that mostly with alittle bourbon while painting. Working great to steady the hand however if I mistake the drinky-drink for the paint brush wash water it doesn't taste too good.

The Tartan is a stylized version of the Kilgour Tartan pattern (or atleast thats what numerous google image searches are telling me) to make it actually paintiable on a figure. I'd put in an image of the taratan pattern, except the MS paint version I did up does not show correctly in Blogger.

For the 500 point force I've got the Dire Troll Mauler and 8 Scattergunners completed. I'll still need to finish Doomshaper, then start up some Impalers and an Axer. Ofcoruse I'll need the previously mentioned Fell Caller As a side motivational factor I've got a copy of Final Fantsy XII waiting for me once I'm finished these guys. Maybe that will be some workable motivation.
