Avistew is going to be running a one-off game of Iron Kingdoms before heading back to France next month so I decided to put together and paint a Trollkin named Gardek from the Privaterr Press – Fools Rush In adventure (the PDF and other resources are listed on the bottom of the page on the Privateer Press website).

Since Gardek uses a large hammer as his main weapon, I looked for a Trollbloods figure that also has one. Really the only one I could find was Horthol, Long Rider Champion.

First thing I did was clean up and dry fit all the pieces to the guy while off his mount.

Then I went about painting the pieces individually before gluing and basing the figure.

I didn’t get any “in progress” shots because I wasn’t sure I was a) gonna post about him on this blog since he’s not plastic and b) gonna finish painting him in time for the game this weekend.

I really hope people like the tartan I painted on the guy’s sash at the game.
