The Giant

Finally the first giant is completed. This is a giant that can be used both for my goblin army and my mortal chaos army (provided one still have that option with the new coxex that is comming one of these days).
Mostly I guess he will be used with the goblins, and since their natural enemies are the dwarfs I thought it was fitting that he had a hogtied dwarf in his cage. The dwarf is a slayer (that's the reason for the orange hair)
The shields and armor on the left arm and the shields on the shoulders of the giant are taken from defeated enemies and he has tied them on with leather straps.
The base is first painted brown, and the rocks grey. Then I gave the entire base a layer of devlan mud wash to make it look more alive. There are a few details that are painted separately. The broken cart wheel is painted like the rest of the wooden parts on the miniature. The straws are made from an old painbtush, and "glued" to the base using greenstuff. I had planned to do this for my chapel diorama, so this was a chance to see how this effect would end up. When the base was painted and the giant glued on, I glued some spots of mixed turf on the base. This is done to give the giant some unity to the goblins, for all the goblin bases have this turf mix.
