Magma - Earthborn Dire Troll edition
Picture malfunction! I'll attempt to spruce this up tonight.
This is a larger scale test of the magma scheme that was used on doomshaper and runeshaper #1. The plan is to get a little more practice in with the colors, and paint up mulg the ancient for the kublacon painting competition. I really like how the front right shoulder area turned out. It's just neon enough to seem hot. The face needs some work, but I'm calling it done on this one. I have a pyre troll next up in the queue to practice on.
In addition to the work already done, it need some basing work, but that will mostly consist of random rocks in the outer yellow area.

Mr. Doomshaper, Wizard
Sometimes the simple conversions are the good conversions. Doomshaper comes with a scroll, that for the most part, seems to either be omitted from the model or placed on the ground.
The only modification I've done to doomshaper is to set the scroll in a flying position roughly parallel to his arms. From the front the pin is concealed behind the scroll. From a normal in game player perspective, the pin blends into the base from the left side and the top down view. The back view doesn't work at all, but I'll take it over a mighty wizard reading a scroll off the ground.
As far as painting goes, I did most of the work before runeshaper #1. This was a test of the magma scheme on a normal trollkin model.

Runeshaper #1 of 6
I really like the magma/lava look and wanted to apply it to a small troll force. The runeshaper models are so massive I'm painting them sequentially instead of the normal squad at a time style. This one has been declared "good enough" since I want to try and get at least three done for a tournament on sunday.
When I was prowling about the internet for references I found two great things. The first was a Magma Tyranid army on the dakka dakka forums. The other was a cool mini or not tutorial on Lava Bases.

deathjack tweaks
I snuck in an hour on the DJ. The feet are attached. The head is pinned and dry fit. Overall it tilts forward a bit too far, it's going to make the arms a bit tricky.

Minor tweaks
One more hour in on the DJ. Keeping this detailed of an activity breakdown may drive me crazy.
Tasks du jour
Filed the should extensions down - ready for detail work
Both soul columns are pinned and dry fit to the smoke stacks
