My Trollbloods Gallery

My affinity for painting started back in 1996 but I never made it a hobby until earlier this year. I would bring the minis out as well as the crafting paints I got from Wal-Mart every few years and dabble. I really started making an effort to improve my painting skill about a month before I took up MW/H.

Here is my Trollblood warpack. I don't have anything else from this faction painted up yet. I took up Protectorate after picking them up at GenCon earlier this year. I figured with MkII being the new iteration of the system I was better off just taking up my Warmachine army earlier. But now that the field test of HMkII is out, I'm going back to my kriel.

My plan is to one day strip Madrak and redo him. I was very frustrated at the time I was painting him and didn't have the patience to do his detail justice. It functions fine enough as it is for gaming, but it drives me nuts knowing I didn't really even try.

The rest of the trolls were actually done prior to Madrak. I'm posting them in the order I painted them so you can see the "progression". The Impalers were primed white, which prompted me to prime the Axer black. I was much more pleased with how that turned out.

I'll post my Protectorate stuff next. I haven't finished the battlebox yet, but I've painted some unit leaders and solos.
