Hill Giant Krug from Reaper

This is Hill Giant Krug, sculpted by Tre Manor and available from Reaper Miniatures both in metal (03239 at about $40) or in plastics from their Bones range (77313 for $9). I got mine from the Bones II kickstarter.
I used Citadel Tallarn Flesh with a Strong Tone Ink wash for the skin. 
Pretty satisfied with how it all turned out.

He's a rather big bloke...
It’s a really nice miniature and my son David drooled over the finished model and started mumbling about getting himself a new warband for Open Combat. I guess I’m going to meet this brute soon…

      Thanks Jonas
      I have another hill giant that demands to be painted. He is quite jealous now.

      Thanks Adam
      Yeah, that is the beauty of Bones. Big 'minis' become afforable and your able to lift them. And also, you can drop them without crushing a foot, destoying the floor and demolishing your painted mini.
      Great to have them.

    Impressive work Joakim, and cool that you're generations playing in the Ström residence! My daughter is only at the "base coating everything black" level, but I'll get a wargamer out of her someday;0)

      You win some and you lose some.
      The middle-child is a born gamer and I have high hopes for him.
      Keep up the good job with the daughter. We all started in the black base-coating-school :-)
