Hordes Trollbloods Dire Troll Mauler by DC23

I just finished painting my first ever Hordes Warbeast! This is the Trollbloods classic ( metal ) 30mm Dire Troll Mauler which is about an inch and one half tall. I had fun painting this one even though it took me a while to like the contrast I did on the blue skin.

I could have done a better job on the prep work before painting but I am happy with the outcome. I should have added more detail painting on the red spike hair but was excited to take photos of it already.

I painted this solely with various Vallejo paints. Primed it with Vallejo grey primer, base coated with Vallejo Model Air and painted with Vallejo Game Color and Vallejo Model Color. Even the Inks and Washes are all Vallejos.

Nothing special with this Dire Troll Mauler as I just painted it with the standard PP studio colors and the base is very simple as I find the model very heavy and cumbersome already.

Diretroll Mauler at Samson Minis

I have here a super masterpiece of a Trollbloods Diretroll Mauler painted by Samson of Samson Minis.

The shading and blending of the blue skin tone is something to aspire for! The colors compliment each other very well, the base is big and nice, and the highlighting just makes this little masterpiece pop! It actually looks like a painting more than a painted miniature. I need to learn and practice a lot, hope to be at least half as good at painting one of these days ( years ).

Anyways do head out to Samson Minis for more photos of this masterpiece. Here is the link guys...
