Magma - Pyre troll edition

My buddies pyre troll is what got me on the dark path to starting up trolls. It feels good to finally get this one done.

The hot lead web site has some great information on painting fire. It's definately worth a read.
Hot Lead - Painting Fire





The good - I'm happy with the fire effect and I feel I was able to push the red skin without making it cartoony. It fits in nicely with the rest of the painted trolls.

The bad - It was fun to paint. I already want to do another one even though I have a large backlog of unpainted models.

The ugly - I didn't know exactly what to do with the chains near the fire on the fists, so they are simply bright, shiny and slightly red.
