Earthborn Dire Troll is painted

Dire Troll Bomber, Mauler, Earthborn, Mulg the Ancient

I have finished my Earthborn. I'll celebrate this occasion with a group shot of all the Dire Trolls I have painted so far! Now I just need to finish Hoarluk Doomshaper, Rage of Dhunia (Hoarluk2), and I'll have a valid 35 point army containing a grand total of 5 models. It might even work... :D

The Earthborn's crystals were inspired by orange garnet. I had a few tries before I ended up with this version. The crystals are striped Skorne Red at the base, then a Fiery Orange / Skorne Red mix, then Fiery Orange at the top. Afterwards I have lined in the parts I wanted edge reflections in with white, and given a single glaze with yellow ink on the middle and top of the crystals, removing any ink that seeped into the base. I'm happy with the result, I think the extremely high contrast works.
