And another! Crude minis, crude paintjobs - but a nasty, well-organised and above all blue-nosed threat to a party ...

A bit more about these here.

These look great -can’t wait to see the whole group.

Thanks! Here are a few more.

I loved your blog entries about those, and I do see how a simple name change might result in a great atmospheric shift to allow more space for the gloomy and the weird.

Anyway, great painting on those!

Thanks! Yes, I'm inclined to let the players think "What the hell are those things?" rather than "Ah, hobgoblins".

Here's a cockatrice for this weekend's D&D. It's actually an Ithsyn from Numenera - a Reaper Bones model I got for less than four quid. I painted him very quickly; one thing I like about Bones is that once you accept that they're always going to be a bit rough and rubbery in places, you can paint them at top speed and get them rapidly ready for the table.

As you can see, it's quite a sizeable beast:

Great stuff, as always!

Nice. You've done a great job on the mini.

Thanks, guys!

I had a good run last night and got some more dungeon monsters done - all ready for their debut this weekend. I really like this Essex bugbear; it's a nice, understated model and - unlike the Reaper bugbears, for example, sits on a normal-sized base and looks like it could sneak through most dungeon doorways.

The mandrill-dogs are goblin hounds from Acropolis, and the big troll is from Reaper Bones - another sloppy wash-based paint job.

More nice work.
The bugbear looks like an evil Hoggle.

Cheers!

Yes! I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but that's exactly what he is!

Great figures nicely painted.

DivisMal · « **Reply #1662 on:** September 02, 2018, 11:57:09 AM »

Brilliant new series. And your painting speed makes me just envious!

Hobgoblin · « **Reply #1663 on:** September 02, 2018, 12:00:27 PM »

Thanks, both!

Here are the adventurers that faced most of those monsters yesterday (for my son's birthday-party D&D session). One of these dwarfs was finished earlier, but the rest are among the fastest miniatures I've ever painted. The hobbit took about half an hour; there wasn't much option with the deadline looming!

I love those! Your blog post about how more Dwarfs should be villains was very true and these guys prove that they can look like the scary, spiteful creatures from various folklore.

Assuming these ones ARE villains, anyway. They certainly look a bit evil.
