Troll Wizard

 Happy new year! Let's hope this one is better than the last.

For my first miniature of the year, I took out a conversion that I'd had lying around for ages, and got to work on finishing it.

Years back, I got a Mantic zombie troll necromancer as part of a kickstarter. The original model looks like this:

I'd tried to paint it several years ago, but I'd not been happy with the results. I thought I'd try to paint this creature as a normal troll, to go with my family of big blue monsters.

First, I filed down some of the more ragged wounds and filled them with DAS clay.

Then I added an old head from a GW river troll that I had lying around, and used green stuff to make a nose for it. It's a cool head, with teeth like a bear trap.

Then I painted it. Maybe I should lighten the skin on the face, especially the nose.

I really like this guy! I think he fits well with the rest of the trolls. He's probably the brains of the group (comparatively). I imagine that he can do some primitive magic, tapping into whatever crude power the troll gods provide (it probably involves farting).

Here are the others:
