Today i decided to start work on something other than my beloved troll bloods. Chris had ordered Kromac intending to use him as his warlock for his circle army but had changed his mind after he had ordered him. I decided that although I'm unlikely to do a circle army any time soon i would really like to have a go at painting him (at least his human form).
I’ve started work on the base. As I was doing this more as a display piece than a gaming piece i put some thought and effort into the base. Kromac’s pose lends itself very well to standing atop something staring into the distance. I played around with several ideas. A fallen standing stone or a cliff face were two options i seriously considered. In the end i went with the idea of Kromac standing on the stump of a long ago fallen tree near the edge of a marsh. I started sculpting the base. At first i went for quite a high base which would have had Kromac well above most other figures but after looking at how this looked i decided a much lower tree stump was more practical option. (As knowing me i will one day undoubtedly start a circle force.)
this is where I'm at so far:
Not the best photos but I'm sure you can see what I'm aiming for. A small amount of water will sit between the rock and the stump and will pass under two of the tree roots.
Hopefully ill have this all painted up before the end of the day.
Update: Saturday 28th August:
Managed to get the base finished and put the starting work onto Kromac’s skin and clothing.
Still a long way to go but i like how the base has turned out.

Bloody awesome dude, cant wait to see the model on there. Your sculpting is coming along nicely, which is fantastic, you will have to show me a few tricks :-)
Is this all Greenstuff? It's fantastic!
Thanks guys - its just a beginning. Im still learning how to push around the putty but i think im getting the idea. It just seams to be practice and perserverance. "deathinches" it is indead greenstuff.
I actualy finished painting this one up last night and added the water effects this morning so hopefully when i get home tonight it looks ok and i can take a finished picture.
