EBDT

The Earthborn Dire Troll. This guy. Was fun.



As the EBDT was basically naked, he didn't really fit the salvaged, "at war" theme I've been running with, so he got some serious armor treatment.

Using Privateers Brown/Aluminum stuff to get those hard edges, He was given various plating, a helmet with straps and chin-plate, belly plate and an assortment of straps. The long greenstuff strap was rolled out and flattened, then after fully cured, cut and wrapped from the front of the torso, under the arm, and to the back plate.

Once again the rivers were done with a mechanical pencil tip (I have a metal 0.7mm that is not too thick on the end so it really gets a clean press. The buckles on the helmet were done following the tut for buckles NQ47 IK Gobber article.

Really excited in about getting some paint on this one and have had a lot of positive feedback already on this guy. Mostly because he looks like a linebacker ready to demolish whatever finds itself in front of him.

Just got my Thumper crew in the mail too along with matching dice for my .45 fury tokens. I always have to have swirly dice apparently. These are the Gold Leaf Gemini 16mm from Chessex.


Until next time!
