First of all, let me announce you that you are reading the 100th article of this blog!!
Everything began 2 years ago, in december 2016. After having watched so many cool blogs dedicated to minis, I was not sure that I had something more to add... but I tried anyway, and I receive enough feedback from you, dear readers, to believe that it was, and still is worth updating it regularly, and that it really helps me to paint more and more.
And I particularly enjoy to write to,and read from people from all around the world.
So: thank you very much !!
Well, ok, let's go to the subject: the Frost Giant !
The Frost Giants are characters mentionned in the Scandinavian mythology, in which they are called Hrimthursar. They are endlessly fighting the Gods. Their ancestor is Ymir, the first of the giants. They are the oldest inhabitants of the world, of which they know every secrets and magic.
This giant is probably the last mini that I will paint this year. Here you a few other pictures, alone and with a Orion viking for size comparison.
This mini was originally designed as a character for Zombicide: Black Plague boardgame. When I first saw it, I immediately imagined the color scheme to turn it into a blue giant, and I must that the result does not disappoint me.
What do you think of that big guy ? Your comments will be once more very appreciated. Oh, he is meant to have a fellow giant, but I will paint that one next year. Happy new year everyone :)
He´s brilliant!

Supprimerhallo mein freund
RépondreSupprimerder sieht top aus dein frostman
woher stammt die figur
und klasse bemalung wie immer
Hallo Guido, wie geht's ? Dieser Frostman kommt aus einem Figurenpack dass Steve Howe für Zombicide Black Plague gezeichnet hat.
SupprimerCongratulations on 100 posts. The Zombicide giant looks like it would be a good match for the old Heritage frost giants.
RépondreSupprimerThanks Eric! I didn't know this site, thanks for the link.
