Once more into the Frozen City!
Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh, what am I saying? Of course, you don’t.
The second troll that was needed, for the 2 snow troll entries. This is my metal one I’ve had since what 2001/2002. Still such a great miniature. I painted him like the first one, I think lol.

The nighthaunt Knight of shrouds was me trying the other paint scheme i fancy for my nighthaunt/wraiths. Born out of an idea of mixing the imagery of crimson peaks all red ghosts with terry brooks description of the red Wraiths from the Shannara Chronicles. Rust is a new thing for me so trying that was interesting and the levels of red in the knights cloak came out great. Really happy with how he looks and would like to do all other nighthaunts in this scheme going forward. Got a few from the mortal realms magazine. Kurdoss valentian in this scheme would be great as the red King for those scenarios. Hmm idea percolator lol.

The giant was the guy i was building myself up for. He’s a dnd hill giant but I really liked the look of him and preferred his look over the stone giant when that came out later I think it was. I had this image of him, like walrus’ and Whales, there is a theory behind carrying that extra weight. So yeh he took the longest to paint, many layers of speed paints, dry brushes, washes and detailing. He was a long, laborious, labour of love and im really happy how he turned out. The tartan was gamble after a conversation between me and the missus. Think that came out well too. Very happy giant Boi!
