The Challenge - Myth Bonus Round Entry

"They have a Cave Troll"

The Challenge continues with my Myth bonus round entry, a cave troll by Games Workshop for the Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game. My justification being that many of the creatures in the Lord of the Rings books are culled from mythology and folklore anyway therefore this Troll has its roots in mythology!

At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

He was painted up for the simple pleasure of painting, no deadline to get him on the painting table for a change. I probably could have put a little more time in but I had a few minor disasters with paint drying weird and then my Vallejo sepia wash pooling on the model, separating and drying as some weird kind of chalky powder. So i called it quits once he got to this stage!


Hopefully he'll get an outing at some point this year, once I finish up some Goblins to back him up (like he needs it!). I may have to redirect my painting effort away from complete warbands and back to the required models for the Journey books as I enjoy the storytelling aspect of the game a little more than the massed battle style games.
