Kallaguk is so heavy, and his plastic ankles are so weak, that he tends to hunch over quite a bit. I didn't bother reshaping him in hot and cold water because I could see he would just hunch over again eventually. He needs a cane.
A blog designed to show off my fantasy miniature painting hobby. I try to paint vintage fantasy miniatures when I am not working on my mountain of Reaper Bones minis. I want to eventually post thoughts on playing Old School D&D, board games and crafting scenery.

Reaper Bones Kallaguk, Troll King
I have finally finished Kallaguk, Troll King from Reaper. This is a fairly big miniature to paint with a lot of scales and wrinkles to keep you busy. I must have taken over 4 weeks of painting "off and on" to get this one done. It's a lot of work, but it is also pretty fun because you can really use your imagination with these monsters. I tried to do some variations of color on his stomach which I found entertaining. I also was interested in giving him dirty claws.

There are quite a few warts, spines, and scales on Kalluguk that are crying out to be painted in fun colors. I'm not as much of a risk taker as I would like in that regard, but I really do think green skin suits him well as a denizen of the swamp.
If this miniature comes out in a gaming session, I would expect many player character deaths...
