Troll And The Brain Try To Take Over Reaper Minis In 2019
December 23, 2018 by dracs
Reaper Minis have previewed two of what they have called Bones Black figures coming out in 2019; a Troll and the Brain.
The troll, sculpted by Jason Wiebe, is my particular favourite of the pair. With its hulking, rocky frame, this is a monster you might expect to leap out on adventurers as they travel through a mountain pass.
However, its the face that I particularly like. Usually, when we see trolls, they're brutish and dumb, which is pretty far from their folkloric counterparts. This one looks crafty, cunning, and malicious. It's as though one of Arthur Rackham's illustrations has been hitting the gym!
The Brain, sculpted by Chris Lewis, is also a very effective model.
Maybe it's because I read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at a formative age, or maybe it's just that I don't like the idea of the thing in my skull going on walkabouts, but brain monsters like that really creep me out.
Of course, it's precisely because they are so disturbing that they turn up in games so often/ This model would make a fantastic Grell for D&D. Though I would also love to see this as the final boss in a dungeon, a creature using its abilities to control the other dark denizens of its domain.
Are you looking forward to seeing more of Reaper's brains and brawn?

Think the Brain could do with a beak like the Grell Sam mentions.
Either that or he needs a jacuzzi to be a Mind Flayer Elder Brain. ?
That brain is great for a good alien invasion..!!!
Nice, those brains make fantastic Enslavers/Krell for WH40k scenarios!
Great figure’s love the rock troll thingy, their was many film’s out in the 70s with floating brain’s you should dig of the Web over your free time if your interested @dracs
Those are very nice.
And the brains left for no good raisin.
Nice, I find the brain too cool!
