Hello all,
Finally finished the Nurgle Troll. Bought as a "Mud Golem", it turned out to be an old (1983) TSR sculpt of a Troll (Nicknamed B 5305). It is a rough sculpt - few details except from the face and the few that are there, are all very melted. Thus, with all the boils, wounds and what I itnerpreted to be molted skin, I've decided that this is none other than Melty, the Nurgle Troll:
The face is brutal and I do love the un-dressed nature of this troll - doesn't seem likely that he would put on a pair of trousers before having his picture taken.
Might just be the largest nose I've ever seen on a mini :-). I guess he has been eternally cursed/blessed by the fickle Chaos Gods to pick up every last pit of his body odour...
The sculptor seems to have gone for some melted skin - I took this as recently flayed skin and applied some tamiya blood tot he wounds.
While the mini is a rather crude sculpt, this also meant it was a quick and fun paintjob - and now we have a dangerous, smelly, troll rampaging around our house :-).
All the best,
Kasper
