Massive Darkness Kickstarter set
Ogres and Trolls, Let's Go
I got bogged down in work last week, so a bit of a pause before what I hope will be the last couple of posts. Just eight monsters left to do before I’m finished, and here’s the first four!
The Ogre Rockbreaker and Brute, then both High and Low Trolls. I can’t really say which of them I like the most, they’re all very nicely done. Like the original 80’s Citadel Ogres and Trolls that started me on this long, slow decline in to hobby mania way back when, only bigger and better sculpted (sorry 80s minis, but it’s true).
The High Troll has an arctic look, the Low Troll is therefore swampy in keeping with his geographical background. Both the Ogres are fairly simply dressed, on account of having tons of fiddly accessories, but I did splash out on yellow polka dots for the Brute.
See all those tiny skulls they’re carrying? My guess is that all of these models were originally intended to be about 10-20% bigger than their final scale. The skulls are much smaller than the humans in the game. Maybe it was a sensible choice, though. Massive Darkness, like Zombicide before it, often gets very crowded squares on the board. Or maybe it was a postage weight decision – either way, doesn’t stop them being excellent models!
