Mini of the Week 7/18/14

Welcome back to Mini of the Week, where every Friday I will find a miniature from around the web that exemplifies an aspect of our hobby and share it with you.

Throgg the Troll King by Tupavko on CMoN

I actually first saw this model a few months ago and was blown away by it. Although Throgg has an official GW model (one which I think is pretty good) this hobbyist decided to completely scratch build his own. Pretty much everything on this model is completely sculpted out of greenstuff with only a few details added on from other models. 

This guy really exemplifies what Chaos is all about. Every part of this model is in flux and I imagine he would be absolutely terrifying to meet in real life. Not only is the sculpting top notch but the paint job is just perfect as well. It strikes a nice balance between cold and warm colors with the warm colors emphasizing the disease and corruption flowing through his body. This guy is Fantasy to the core and looks like he just walked out of an Adrian Smith painting.

Be sure to check out more views of it on Cool Mini or Not and show the artist some love if you like it.

Until next time,

Tyler M.
