Painting an Old World troll

The trolls have arrived in The Old World and there they truely belong. While the actual reason I painted up this metalic Games Workshop river troll was because I wanted to try a color scheme from The Darkest Dungeon the resulting style could be very suitable for The Old World. Especially if you want to combine the classical looney theme of the orcs and goblins together with the Grimdark asthethic.
The trolls are, and will forever be some of the best miniatures Games Workshop has produced, unlike the dwarves previewed (if you ask me).

Viewing this video myself the image quality is really bad. Please let me know if this is not only me because the uploaded video is of a much higher quality.

The image quality seemed fine to me. Having uploaded some videos to KZbin in the past I found that you can sometimes first only see the partly rendered version not the normal version as the content creator but for other people they see only the normal video

Nice paint work there, quite a stylised result. I have never worked with oil paints on miniatures before. They do seem to offer some advantages in terms of the paint staying wet so you can easily blend for longer periods of time and even blend on the mini itself rather than just on a palette. It is hot here so the paint (acrylic) dries very quickly which also has its benefits too but also some definite drawbacks Perhaps in the future I’ll give oils a go as well. Always happy to learn new techniques

Thank you I'm not really sure why I started using oils. I'm pretty certain that not everyone like it but I do. I am kind of proud of the result paint wise but the whole video got kind of messed up when I suddenly stumbled upon this contrast type of usage :)

And it's a mighty looking troll.

Thank you! I hope he is not angry that I called him goblin..
