Ancient Hero Maulg finished...

... 


He who is the greatest.




He who was born in the light of a dying galaxy.
He who stands there for hundreds of years, forgotten.


He who bears the spear of gods.
He who has the shield called “Continental Eclipse”.
He who has THE helmet – a gift from Heracles.
He who has the knife of wisdom from Odysseus.
He who has the juice of might which has caused this once in a lifetime ugly farting session some while ago.


He who has the strength of the titans burnt in his flesh by a blue steel flame making weird warrior language signs and mystic ancient epic runes come together as one.

He who was forgotten there in the ancient lands.
He who was forgotten by all the epic myths around heros and gods.
He who should keep an eye out at Zeus apple basket.
He who was chosen to protect the apples of gods.
He who kills a hundred apple mad Cyclops a day.
He who will never be defeated in battle.

He who is still holding his breath to the coasts of some news from Zeus about his apples.
He who will always stand there until the end of the worlds.



The ancient Hero Maulg
Ancient Hero Maulg, model by Artefactory, Conversion explained later on




He who is up to CMON too!




 WIPs can be found here and a tutorial to the shield can be found here!


The basic model is Troll King Maulg by Artefactory, one of my absolut favorite models ever, the helmet and shield are from the Romeo Model's Italian Warrior, the knife is from the Games Workshop Space Wolf Sprue, the spear, leatherbelts and base have been scratchbuild, the bottle on his back is from a Games Workshop Fantasy Sprue, which exactly i did forget, the apple basket is from Zeus...ehm, no - Rackham's Accesoirs... 


I hope you like him... remember he will always stand there, he who is the Ancient Hero Maulg.


Keep on happy painting!
Regards
Roman

    I just love the atmosphere of this piece - he looks like he has been standing there for years, and the shading on the muscles is amazing. Brilliant work!
