The chainmail line is very 2D. Even this guy is very flat front-to-back. The upside is that I could make him fit easily on a battlemap without a giant base.
You can probably see pretty easily that I didn't do all that much blending on this guy. Colors tend to start and stop abruptly. Honestly, I just got tired of painting him at some point, did some touch work to make him look good enough, and stopped. Still, he's a pretty good paint job and I expect if I need more giants in the future I'll bust him out again.

Looks good. I've got that figure too. Its more a giant, in my opinion, than an ogre. I remember being slightly annoyed when I first bought that it didn't come with a stat card.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I've put the Ogre Mercenary on the table the players gasp. :D
It's a good mini. The Chainmail line was so hit and miss. Everything was either amazing (Ogre mercenary, otyugh, some of the character minis) or just awful (the gladiator apes that fall down, the two-part skeleton dogs that didn't fit together without glue, greenstuff, and re-modeling, gnolls with half a hundred pointy bits cast in 5 pieces, etc.)
DeleteThe hits, well, they're amongst my favorite minis! The misses sit mostly half-painting in my drawers, awaiting the coming paintocolypse.
