Hy all !
Here is my newest work. For those who have seen I am the creator of the Winter Imperial Guard diorama http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/165838-Imperial%20guard%20in%20snow.html
Now , I know this is not from 40K but still I wanted to share it, I promise next up is going to be something from 40k, any ideas?
Enjoy and I have written a tale to set up the story of the diorama , read it at the bottom




The tale of the Dragon and Troll...

The tales tell that in the deep mountains live so called Lava Troll who long ago killed the Red Flame Dragon. Now it’s believed that he uses the dragons scull as a weapon to kill mountaineers and innocent travelers, who try to find their way through the deep mountains... The old tell the story of how this had happened.. The troll and the dragon were fierce enemies for a long long time , they both wanted to live by the volcano due to the warmth it provided , it was the only way to stay alive in the Deep Mountains, because all know how cold it gets in there at winters time. Of course there was only one place by the hot inviting lava pool, and only one predator can live in the Blood cave...Although the Red Dragon had lived and ruled there for many centuries, now he had to defend his realm from this intruder who wanted to take claim of what belonged to him. In cold winter night, when the sky were clear and moon full, they fought. Shivering screams, beastly roars and painful screeches were heard from far away for seven days. Finally strongest or the luckiest won -the Troll , although many say that he won only because he cheated , no one know how did he actually kill the dragon. Despite that every smallfolk and lord or knight has no doubt that the dragon is dead... For hundred years no one dare to enter the mountains and if some madness drove them inside there no one came out alive.
Years passed and so came the time of the brave Lord from Red Dragon keep, who committed his life to revenge the dragon and rescue the mountaineers from the Trolls reign. See, the dragon was the symbol and protector of the Lords house for many centuries, before the terrible troll appeared...
Now it has come to this strike, on this very bridge that once stood between the dragon and his opponent troll. The Lord will have only this one chance to strike the enemy down, but will he succeed. No doubt the troll seems slow and weak, but didn’t he kill the dragon once?...

Hope you like it

I like it. Alot.

The figures are beautiful, and the terrain is gorgeous.

I am very hard to please when it comes to dioramas though, and my problem is that both of them look like they are posing rather than fighting. It doesn't seem like it's capturing any action.

The work is beautiful nonetheless, and most people don't seem to be as picky when it comes to dioramas as I am, so you should do very well.

Fantastic freehand.

Agreed, on both counts. The painting is phenomenal on both the figures and the base, but the models do feel a bit static, especially at so close a range to each other. Did I mention the gorgeous painting? Yes? Good.

thanks. Ye I understand what you mean , the posing, and I know the problem . This was make and see what happens project , not imagine prepare and make. So when I built the bridge I needed to put somebody on it , but I didn't know what, I knew that I wanted to put there the lord , cuz the lord was already painted. But I didn't know what will be his opponent. Somewhere deep in my boxes I found this troll , and thought that maybe he will do , he is from metal so very little chance of conversation, and the lord was already painted so no conversation on him either... I thought of other opponents as well like orc or something , but I just didn't see it fit in this environment... Anyhow it was fun painting the models and creating the lava, I learned a lot new.
