Citadel C20 Trolls.

I have been 'sneaky painting'. 
Whilst I have been very busy with things outside the world of miniatures (and Christmas as well!), I have mainly been re-basing lots of Oldhammer era stuff in my remaining spare time. However I have felt I really wanted to paint something, and so have been sneaking some time to paint some relatively straightforward models when time allowed.  Hence 'sneaky painting'! 

I have chosen, amongst other things, Citadels pre-slotta C20 Trolls, from about 1984. Of course, they are full of quirky detail and character, and were fun to paint. I wanted to give the impression that they were Stone Trolls, and they they were almost born from the rocks around them or at least had an affinity to them, in a similar way to Tolkien's Trolls being created from stone. I did this by painting them the same colours as the rocks on their (40mm square) bases.

Enjoy :) 

C20 Trolls. 

The C20 Stone Troll coming down from the mountains, looking for trouble. 
Yes, I should really have ironed out the backdrop! 

Hobol Firebreath. 
Armed with a big stone hammer, and big stone nose. 

Rear view, although it's unwise to get downwind of any of these Trolls! 

Grog Stuntychrusher. 
Armed with a boulder, quite suitable for a Stone Troll

Side view showing his lolling tongue. 

Davogrod Gutsucker.
Armed with a knuckle duster, and really big nose!

Rear view.

Shakined Bone Bender. 
Shhh, don't say it too loudly, he can hear you from a mile away, but he's armed with enormous ears, and a bone! 

Rear view. 

Skuttlescree Soresmear. 
Armed with both a stone club and a big nose.

 He appears to have somebodies skull in his left hand as well! 

Rear view showing a captive pig. 

Rattlebones Bowlegs. 
He's not really armed with anything other than the usual Troll attributes of brutal strength, strong stomach acid, and a lack of personal hygiene. 

Rear view. He's captured some birds along the way. 

Next update date maybe some C48 Gargoyles which I have been painting.
