If you ever get to look at the "Guild Ball" rulebook I heartily recommend reading the short story based upon him as its a scary piece of prose and captures the raw power of this brute tremendously well.

I'm not sure Fangtooth can be ruled out quite so easily as I painted almost all of my Jenna Stannis in 2014 and that didn't stop you giving her 8th place last year ;-) As long as they're finished in 2016 they count in my books :-)<br /><br />Glad you're enjoying the "Frostgrave" stuff. The Ice Toad and Stone Construct are now both finished and just being varnished etc; as is the Barbarian. I've a Demon and Templar on the go currently, so expect plenty more to come over the next few weeks.

However, a productive few days this week should see me posting tomorrow, which is also my first anniversary! Yay! And boy, do I have something rather special to show off!

I've little doubt though that he'll turn up in some tabletop battles other than "Guild Ball"... as will the ducklings ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-4391027573393826102016-02-05T14:29:20.314-08:002016-02-05T14:29:20.314-08:00"The creature impassively raised one huge foo..."The creature impassively raised one huge foot up and stamped down hard on... three little ducklings crossing his path!"<br />Sorry, Simon! He is one mighty impressive beast and I'm so glad you have finally finished painting him. I can think of a number of potential uses for him - Zombicide Fatty, Post Apocalypse Mad Max style gang member, bodyguard, enforcer, pit cage fighter or even as a super-villain.
