Warhammer Quest Troll Slayer

I really like Slayers for Dwarfs. Love the background, a dishonoured Dwarf, seeking the only honourable outlet left by embarking on a quest to slay as many dangerous and lethal opponents before they die. That and the models I think are pretty good, going all the way from the past to the present. I have mentioned before that I am looking forward to painting my Slayer unit. Despite the fact that the only game I have used them in had them wiped out before they did anything. Guess I just need more practice!

At Bugman's the painting contest is Slayer for this month. I got to pick it as I won last month with my Gob-lobber. I recently procured an old Warhammer Quest Troll Slayer off ebay for a decent price (it was listed as a normal slayer), and since I have been obsessed with the Warhammer Quest game on iPhone, it was a natural choice!

So I named him after my character in that game, Argrul Lost-throne. That name alone speaks volumes of what he might have done or suffered to then take the Slayer pledge. Who know's, but I am looking forward to fielding him as a Dragon Slayer in my next game.

Let me know what you think!



 

I wanted to try more inticate tattoos this time, and basically copied the ones from the cover of the Gotrek and Felix Omnibus 2. 


I also spent more effort this time on his skin, going for maybe 5 or 6 layers, don't recall. I quite like the result though. Anyways, that's enough for now, back to painting GW Dwarfs! 

Cheers!

    Long ago, in a time before WOW, there was a Warhammer based MUD called 'Wolfenburg'. It never quite made it as a big thing because 90% of all characters were Trollslayers, they were so awesome nobody could bear to be anything else, it's credibility was stretched to breaking point by the fact that the population of Wolfenburg was made up purely of thousands of ginger psychopaths. It tried to reinvent itself as 'Kingdom of Heroes' after shaking off the Warhammer brand, funny story though.

    Excellent stuff by the way, more slayers and F&G please!

      That is quite the tale! I must say I do enjoy Slayers, and played them for a bit in the newer Warhammer: Age of Reckoning when that came out.

      I am looking forward to doing that unit of slayers, as I have quite a few cool ideas I can add for unit fillers, and even some characterful resin bases as well.

      As for games, got a mini run of games in a week with about 4 friends, only small points, but will be taking Argrul just for fun. Will 'hopefully' remember to take photo's this time!

      Cheers!

    Excellent tattoos! And congrats on the eBay bargain, sometimes sellers don't check the catalogues closely enough.

      Cheers! Spent more time on them, plus with all the slayers I'm planning on doing, best get some practice in. And I was so chuffed when I won that second complete Gob-lobber. So rare to get a good deal on oop Dwarfs these days.
