Goblin Warband Project!
« on: October 17, 2011, 10:31:24 AM »
Hi!

I have started a new project in an attempt to get my 28mm scale painting mojo back!

I picked up a few packs of Harlequin miniatures Goblins at Colours this year and painted one up on a whim and am quite pleased with how he turned out, especially as all the 8mm scale stuff I have tried painting over the last year or so has been a total disaster. Therefore I have decided to have a bash at painting up the rest of the little fellows!

Thus far I have the Chieftain ready but still need to finish his base:



Hopefully I will get another painted over the course of today and will add more pictures as I get chance!

All the best!

Nice figure blessed with a nice paintjob.

I like the colour scheme that you have chosen and I love the nose!

Great job, look forward to seeing more.

OH BABY, Goblins! That makes two of us who love The Nose...the nose, of course, is the focal point of the soul. I also am departing from the G.W. green stereotype. I like the skin shades you chose. VERY WELL DONE!

I really like the Harlequin goblins and you've done a great job on this one. Nice to see skin tone goblins rather than green tones.

Hmm. I'm trying to chose which colour to paint my greenskins. You're not helping!

Hi!

Thanks for the comments so far folks!

Heres another member of my warband in the form of a Goblin sneak:



I don't know who manufactured him but he's a really characterful little fellow!

The skin tones were done in several stages starting with a pinkish base, an apricot colour followed with a few highlights of sand colour and a quick devlin mud wash. I then picked out the highlights with apricot again!

I am hoping to get the groups standard bearer done next!

All the best!

He certainly does have character!

Lovely figure with a lovely paintjob.
Love the fleshtones, they work really well.

Hi!

Heres the latest Goblin I painted up:



There was a nasty miscast bit on one side of his head which required lots of work to clean up and disguise but he turned out alright and has some real character!

Heres a pic of the full group so far (apologies for the slightly blurry pics!)



All the best!

They look great, especially as a group. I like the non standard coloring, who say's goblins have to be green! I look forward to seeing more, and would encourage you to work on the whole warband at the same time, makes picking out similar colors each much faster.
WHAT do you mean I lost!!! I had MORE fun!
