A figure painting 10 years in the making...

Done!

Well, I had wanted to paint this figure FOREVER. From Foundry, this fellow had always been one I had been interested in painting. For some reason he had always held my interest... maybe it was a lifelong enjoyment of the Norse myths, the tales of Loki and Thor that I feel have such a meaty love of life and humor. This guy is a clear homage to Odin, what with a raven on his shoulder, and even has an upside-down mjolnir on his belt buckle.

Now, he is a bit too big, probably to go with the rest of my vikings. I did complete working on them, and even did a movement tray for the bezerkers. It has a dead horse on it, the idea of which I like... but I am not sure the execution will be up to par. It will take a few bushes scattered among the bases and trays, I think, to really get them looking right. In fact, I will likely put one on the base of the big boss here!

Anyway... hope everyone enjoys! I'll be getting paint on the eight vikings and the two captains next!
