Love the ice giant and ice cats. I would never think to be creative like that and paint the skin like ice. I always paint stuff vanilla. But, one question: If the giant is made out of living ice, why does he wear warm animal skin clothes?

Awesome updates! That beard looks meaestic! Also the sabertusk fits in perfectly with the others, it looks a bit like a family of father, mother and their eldest son

Thanks, guys!
As far as the Ice Giant needing clothes, the story with my Ogres is that they live high in the Mountains of Mourn, and due to their Regen abilities, they are able to survive the freezing temps that'd kill a normal man. Over then generations, their skin took on a permanent blue tone, hence their appearance.
The Ice Giant is a holdover from the Sky Titan tribe who has adopted the Ogre Tribe ways and mannerisms including their aptitude for clothing, which is more of a status symbol than necessity.
Reasons.

3 days from printing to fully painted - you're a machine! The ice giant is great, and those sabertusks look really menacing.

Finally finished my Yhetees off! They've been in a semi-painted state for YEARS. So glad to have them done!

Nice bud. I really like yhettees. I’d definitely field 3-6 if I had Ogres

I'm not such a fan of the old Yhetee sculpts, but I like yours, especially the look of icy blue weapons.

Thanks, guys! I'd definitely like more, but I haven't found a good price on more. And these are so uniquely GW, it's hard to mix/match them.

hey, ogres only need to be six wide for the horde bonus impressive productivity for sure. Glad to see you get to work on your own stuff as well, for a while it looked like the commissions took over completely.

Glad to see you get to work on your own stuff as well, for a while it looked like the commissions took over completely. Oh, they're still here. I'm currently working on a Daughters of Khaine army, but I think I've convinced him to let me go Drow with them. We're talking about converting the new Morathi model by cutting the snake portion off and green stuff-ing her to an Arachnid for the spider queen effect. MAAAAYBE converting all the snake Ladies to arachnids as well, but that'll be a ton of work considering he has 35. We'll see.

I quite like the Yhetee models, you've done a really nice job on them (and all the Ogres!)
