Giant Reaper Bones Troll.

I saw this big brute a few weeks ago and thought he would fit into my Fomorian army. His scaly skin makes him look quite aquatic and I can imagine him clawing his way out of the North sea.
I was hoping he would be quite large, so was pleasently surprised to find he was gigantic. A real sea monster if ever I saw one. He dwarfs the other two sea monsters ( both water trolls) in the Fomorian ranks.
I used super glue and some fine grit to help hide the joins in the model. It did come with the option of throwing a pig, but this rock fits better with my sea folk. 

I will use greenstuff and add seaweed and starfish etc to the rock. I'm not a fan of the mohawk haircut on one of the heads either, so will tweak this with greenstuff too.


The packet was covered in dust so must have sat on a shelf for a very long time.

By painting the top of the rock dark, it should look like it's been pulled from the ground or sea shore.
This is what you need to break a siege and smash down the walls of a manor house. It dwarfs the tiny 28mm figure next to it.

 A real monster from the mists of ancient Erin.

Here we can see a Fomorian next to the beast. The black figure is a troll from Reaper Bones too. Anything goes really in ancient Erin, if it wasn't for the scales, this giant creature would be used for the Furbolg forces.

Finished Rock pools


The last stage was to gloss varnish the water in the pools. This really brought them to life and gave them a sparkle.

The kelp and some of the green rocks were also given a lick with the gloss brush too. Not too much, just enough to give them a damp look.






The bottom of the pools were painted with loads of people's of different colours. This was then given a green wash, then a brown one to add depth to the pool.
