I mentioned on the freebie miniature post where I delved into my first attempt at using contrast paints with Vallejo Xpress Color that I ordered some additional miniatures and had received that one as a freebie. The other items in that package which I hadn't shared until now are these super awesome giant bugbears. I had contacted Jonathan at 3DDungeon Labs on Etsy and asked him if he could scale up those bugbears to be 2x original size - as if they were magically enlarged. He set off to it and a bit later shipped me these freakin' amazing models.
I replicated exactly the paint process that I did for the original bugbears. These models are being used as an extension of the Phandelver starter set. Towards the end, there's a certain wizard that uses bugbears as henchmen and he escaped. He has come back to nag the party doing the Indiana Jones thing, when they make a discovery he's more powerful and takes the artifact away - totally pissing off the party, brahahaha!
What the bugbears do is enlarge and become more than what the party can handle at the moment. The first time the models were on the table in the "standard" size and the party was like "no problem, we can take 'em", - then they doubled in size and I swapped in the new large ones, lmao!
On another note, if anyone wants to know why the rules say "The target's size doubles in all dimensions, and its weight is multiplied by eight.", just come over here and give these bad boys a lift (it's 2^3=8x).
