Talk Fantasy Football

Wow Fassbinder - the skin on the big guys is particularly good! Super crisp. How did you get the ogre and troll to look so good? The blue ogre could even double as a snow troll in a pinch.

He took ages! One of the aims of painting this team was to get over the hump of painting big guys. The "mistake" I made was using a too small brush for the Ogre - it must have taken eight to ten hours to finish that skin, I spent so long looking at that blue hide of his I could probably draw him from memory autistic-savant style.

The Troll was much quicker, I probably finished the skin in about 2 hours all up and I prefer the result. I used a bigger brush and I'd gotten the hang of the wet palette by then.

At the risk of too much information, the Troll's skin is:
a mix of Hormagaunt purple + Xereus Purple (both GW) with Vallejo fluorescent Magenta & Squid pink added and layered gradually. The final highlights are pretty much pink.

Cheers for the Info! The troll is an absolute triumph. Smooth as honey. Great job:)

The rest of the team are beautiful too, as mentioned the white on Goreblade and the blue on the Ogre look top. Very inspiring!

Well, now that I`m done with my studies, it`s time to show off my complete converted team of undead - the Ostland Golden Vultures:

Wow, that's the best conversion of the old plastic human team I've ever seen. I really like how the Wights and the skeletal catcher turned out.

So many cool teams. This is the thread that TFF redeems itself! Love it! S.

Could you upload a higher resolution image? This one is way too small to see anything.

Some amazing teams in this thread, I cannot paint but I can appreciate the time and skill other folks have put into these conversions and paint jobs.
