Re: Painting again
+1. They're just great. I actually like all your Orc models. Are you working towards a specific Orc warband or just getting the set complete?Shannar, Sealord wrote:Those old stone trolls are true classics.SpellArcher wrote:I just love that Troll.

Re: Painting again
Those are just ones that I found for a really good price, were the old style that I like, and it looked like enough to make a decent warband. And it came out almost perfect. The leader is a bit fancier than I want. But it's not a huge problem. At first I wasn't going to give them any NG stuff. But then I started toying with making a Goblin Army and realized 10 squigs is about right, so why not let these guys have 5?

The Troll is obviously great but I'd like to praise the imperials, too. A neat, striking colour scheme - just what the doctor ordered!

Re: Painting again
They are a step up from the Marienburgers I painted a few years back. Fortunately it's the captain, and a hero with a fancy gun, so it's ok if they look a little better.RE.Lee wrote:The Troll is obviously great but I'd like to praise the imperials, too.

Re: Painting again
The forest goblins are done, except for bases, shields, and 3 banners.
You'd think after all the minis I've painted over the years I'd remember how much work those 3 things really are.

Re: Painting again
Just 24. 5 Spider riders with a banner. And the rest are a mix of archers swords (with two spears, but they'll count as hand weapons when doing WFB). The 2nd foot banner is really just because I have it (someone sent me a bunch of forest goblins after seeing my NG painted. I'll probably count them both as "boss poles" for mordheim anyway, so it works out.

True. I decided I needed to get a picture while the sun was still up. As much as I'm improved my lighting situation for indoor photos the sun is still better.

Re: Painting again
I seem . to still be on a goblin kick. I painted up a few more squigs (I decided the Orcs should have some), and right now I've got some squig hoppers clubber/netters, fanatics, 2 ogers, and Groms Chariot in progress. The theory was norse after that, but maybe I'll do those amazons finally instead. Or the lead belcher...

Re: Painting again
WAAAGH!
Or rather WAAAAGH!
There's a lot of variety in goblins. And they lend themselves to both serious units, modelling and painting and to going all out cartoony fun. And everything in between. And you can always use a couple of extra bodies.
The little buggers look great. I especially like the banners

Re: Painting again
So I'm guessing the one on the left is Grom's? As for the other...didn't you just do one of these Shannar?

Re: Painting again
Correct on both counts. I wasn't going to do Grom, but I found one for $10 and couldn't say no. I also picked 1+ (just missing the sides on the 2nd) more of of the elf chariots up for a fair bit cheaper than one usually sells for. I have alternate crew models ready to go, and in 3rd edition you can have up to 3 of them, so I figured "why not".SpellArcher wrote:So I'm guessing the one on the left is Grom's?

Nice painting, basing and great choice of miniatures! Attention to detail with bowstrings and arrows. As it should be! A pleasure to look at. I especially like the ballistas with wheels, and Gobbos. Gnaaaagh!

One thing I like about gobbo's is that they're fairly cheap all round. So while you shouldn't go overboard, you can add some fun toys on the cheap, just because. In a HE army, this can get expensive very fast.

Re: Painting again
Wolves are done, horses are nearly done. Riders are a bit far off, and then bases. And niblet is going to need a banner. I've also got a couple Ogres finished that I'm waiting to varnish and put on their bases.
