Hello,

I just got my order from Green Dragon games in and among them are the three trolls. Now they come with the option to model them with cutlery or clubs. Does anybody with the big rulebook (with their profiles in it) know if this has any ingame influence or is it just looks? Thanks!

Nope, it is just appearance. No bonus rules are anything like that.

Oops very sorry, I misread the OP . I was under the impression that you were refering to the troll's campfire

sorry

ah What does it do?

Cooks Dwarfs.

It gives Resistant to magic and +1C within 6"

It's a shame that they add up to a silly point value. Would have been cool if with the fire they equalled 500pts. Not sure what to ally with them!

Have people been painting these up yet? I really have no idea yet how I should tackle them (painting wise). Im not that good of a painter...
So far I have only spotted 1 thread here that had some done....

If you're not that good of a painter, I suggest choosing a skin tone (don't know the new gw paints) and washing it with different shades of browns. That's what I do, because highlighting skin is something I will never quite get right on big models.

I have painted the skin. Nice n easy

Spray them white. Make sure its nice and flat n even.

The use Reikland Fleshshade 1 coat
Then a brown wash in the deep creases
Then reikland flesh again 1 coat. (you can skip this step if you want them lighter)
Done.

I'd love to see a picture of that.

Agreed! Sounds like an easy and effective method.

Sounds easy enough, but i just sprayed them black, so it might take more then 1 coat

ooo the optional layer is the brown... didnt spot that mistake.

I'll try and o some uploading pics tomorrow. Can upload them straight here or do I need ot use flikr etc?

I belive you can upload them via an attachment, but I think there's a limit of 3 per post. I just use photobucket.

Cool, cant wait to see them.

I couldn't get a great photo within the file size so here is a bit of a go.

Looks ok. The things I learnt was
- the model needs to be completely white before you start. no patching up after
- On the large flat areas you need to pull off any puddles.

Hey, I might try that too, it looks really good and easy.

Is Reikland Fleshshade the same colour as Ogryn Flesh?

It does look nice indeed! since mine are already black i think i might just try it with some another white-ish basecolour? Any good suggestions?
