When I was looking to acquire a Frost Giant for my army, they were all sold out. After contacting my newly made friend Maikel at CCGWinkel.nl , he advised me to get a DnD model from steamforged. And boy was I in for a treat: After playing with him a few times, it was time to start working on him for my hobby goals of the Halpi campain as well as just because he is awesome. His base is a little too big. It is a 100mm circle and it needs to be a 75mm square. This still needs to be fixed. I wanted to keep in with the spirit of the original blue skin of the Mantic design. I also want it to match the dark blue uniforms of the rest of my army. So blue on blue it was. I am far too noobish to try NMM, so I stuck to my trusty Vallejo metallics for all metal parts. Next up was wearing down the leather of this wild giant. Nobody has time to get them repainted pristine blue all the time right? This was my first attempt at highlighting not just with lighter colour, but shifting from blue to brown. ...
3D printing to the rescue For my Halpi campaign I included a set of light cavalry to my army. That means wolves! The tundra wolves from Mantic, awesome looking and metal as they are, were a little too expensive to make two regiments. I went out to look for some wolves on MyMiniFactory and found me some wolves . These beasts then needed to be printed. After trying to find a service I turned to my friend Maikel who could help me out. Three models, 18 units to go over 75% MMR. That's a lot of the same... No worries, Maikel mirrored the models and suddenly we had 6 models, three each and presto! Primed! Some paint. Better make some friends quick. Ready to go on a base. Basing the beasties The actually most interesting part of this build is the base. Because these regiments are exactly two troops in size and number, we can break them up to use them in other configurations. Thank you Vince for your inspiration on this. What I wanted was to create a whole, that felt like a solid ba...
