Mithril Miniatures Evil Army: Part 6.

It's time for the Trolls! These form the heavy hitting shock troops of the evil army. I have collected six bases of them, with three to a base, made up of a mixture of different Trolls from the Mithril Miniatures ranges. In the Midgard rules they will count as Heavy Infantry, with Big and Brutal traits.

Painting them was very straight forward. I recall reading somewhere that the Trolls of Middle Earth had a greenish tinge to their flesh (but not in the same hue as GW Trolls!) and so I went for a dark olive green look,. I also kept their clothing suitably drab, and their armour rusty. Again, like all of the Mithril Miniatures, they were fun to paint and looked good when painted due to the good sculpting and detailing. Like their Orc miniatures, Mithril Miniatures Trolls are very dynamically posed. I am pleased with how they have turned out.

Enjoy :)

The column of Trolls advances!

From left to right:
M416 Dol Guldur Troll attacking; M148 Olog-Hai Troll; M284 Cave Troll attacking.

M414 Dol Guldur Troll throwing rock; M295 Mordor Black Troll; and a converted M174 Troll of the Underdeep (he was missing his dagger in his right hand, and so I added a bits box blade in his left).

M148 Olog-Hai Troll; M23 Large Stone Troll; M48 Troll with Morning Star.

Another M148 Olog-Hai Troll; an unconverted M174 Troll of the Underdeep; M415 Dol Guldur Troll with stone axe.

MS471 Troll Drummer; MM443 MERP 'Dagorhir the Warlord'; M284 Cave Troll.
This base is designed to look a little like a command base.

M295 Mordor Black Troll; M148 Olog-Hai Troll; M49 Angmar Troll with cleaver.

The next update will probably be on some of the individually based character models and heroes which I have painted for the army. 

Mithril Miniatures Evil Army: Part 5.

 A slightly delayed blog update on my continuing Mithril Miniatures Evil army painting. Here are six bases of MZ675 Warg Captain with Wargs.

There's not too much say about these. They are nicely sculpted wolf miniatures, slightly smaller than Mithril Miniatures other Warg miniatures, especially the ones with the orcs riding on them. They come in a pack with three different sculpts, which for skirmishing or vignettes is fine, but a little limiting for multi based wargaming, especially with four to a base. To counteract this I mixed the ratio of sculpts to create little mini vignettes.

Again they were fun and quick to paint. I went for a Timber Wolf look as it has that classic wolf look.

Enjoy :)

All six bases.
I went for four to a base to use as Light Riders.

All six again.

As mentioned above I have made each of the bases into little vignettes. 
This one is 'Howling and circling' .

'Prowling wolves'.

'Stalking wolves'.

'Preparing to fight'.

'Calling to the army'.

'Howling together'.

Next update will be Mithril Miniatures Trolls.
