Painted up 4x bugbears and 2 trolls tonight. Nice figures even though they have the typical oversized fantasy weapons. I was surprised at how tall the minis are compared to the other D&D style miniatures we use. Trolls in AD&D were about 9 ft and bugbears about 7ft (according to the AD&D monster manual) and so these figures certainly give a decent size compared to humans. I intend to convert the weapons on the next couple but don't really have any large weapons that would be suitable so will probably swap a couple of the gnoll morning stars and bugbear weapons.
Also tonight Finn decided to take up painting. He's never shown any interest but asked if he could give it a go. He then went and chose 4 goblins and orc models and painted them up. They kept him occupied for a good couple of hours and turned out pretty good. I'm not sure where they are now, I think he put them on his shelf by his bed when he went to bed.
