It&#8217;s a fun miniature that I&#8217;ve used quite a bit for larger foes&#8230;the only problem has been it&#8217;s droopy sword. The hot water\/ice water trick only remedied this temporarily so, inspired by <a href=\"https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/2018\/08\/25\/bones-pathfinder-goblins\/\">recent work with goblins<\/a>, I decided to try running a metal pin through it. I wasn&#8217;t able to get a pin all the way through but I was able to stabilize the base and point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4160\" height=\"2340\" src=\"https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/StormGiant_BaseCoat.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/StormGiant_BaseCoat.jpg 4160w, https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/StormGiant_BaseCoat-595x335.jpg 595w, https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/StormGiant_BaseCoat-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/StormGiant_BaseCoat-960x540.jpg 960w, https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/StormGiant_BaseCoat-533x300.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4160px) 100vw, 4160px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I went with a similar color scheme to the <a href=\"https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/2018\/08\/03\/vanja-fire-giant-queen\/\">Fire Giant Queen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/2018\/08\/08\/skorg-ironskull-fire-giant-king\/\">Fire Giant King<\/a> so that this could serve as an all purpose Giant.
