As a first time LPL'er I hope this isn't considered bad form so soon after a round has finished - I hope to get a new entry in for the rest of the rounds in the LPL so won't be using this team again...
... plus I've been dying to share these pics! :D
So here's the Soggy Bottom Boyz - 4A Gobbos I've rechristened as swamp goblins!
Lurverly minis to paint - can't wait to get on with the other five I have in the looong paint queue! Although I'm not sure I'll go to the extent of adding puddles to the bases with meltable water effect stuff - a tad fiddly and I had some nasty moments while I was trying to encourage the stuff into the recesses I'd made with a match after it had mispoured... :o

I have plans for these guys games-wise - just need to make a nice big swamp for them first... ;D
-
Lovely job sir!
What make are they?
Is that Army Painter you used on them?
-
These look great.Nice to see these appearing on the forums.
Love the eye's on the one with the mace.Really evil looking.Like how you have done the reptile skin too.
I need to get more of these fella's done for you to expand the force dont I ;),
Like the name that you have for them too.
-
As a Fanatic Goblin Guy, I was hoping you'd get up more photos of the Swamp Lads. I LOVE the facial expressions...especially the Archers one eyed squint. All VERY WELL DONE!
Having worked with the meltable water effect, all I can say is your a braver man than moi.
-
More foolish more like Deafnala!
Glad you like them Manic - loads of fun to paint. More would certainly be very nice - looking forward to the mounted ones you mentioned a while back!
I came up with the Soggy Bottom Boyz in homage to that great film Brother Where Art Thou but I have to give Phreedh the credit for Bog Gobs!
I take it there are no surfers round here as no-one has recognised the shield design... ;)
Luddite - not army painter but several layers of inks on top of highlights.
Maybe I should have bought a can and saved myself some time! ;) lol
BT broadband decided to go on the blink while I was drafting this out first time round - forgot to say that these are available from our very own Manic_miner's excellent 4A miniatures!

I have been using the GW water effects.They work pretty well.
The film Oh brother where art thou is a good movie.It has some really funny parts in it too.
Where do you get your back drops from?I could do with a few myself.
-
Google images - I just search for water colours of whatever landscape I need - takes a bit of searching sometimes!

I did, never got around to mentioning it though. Hot Tuna. =) I'm no surfer, was just a popular brand in Sweden in the 90s.
I have to give Phreedh the credit for Bog Gobs!
One of my few inspired moments... ;)
I think they're great, especially like the lizardy eyes and the shields. Didn't notice the Hot Tuna shield in the LPL submission.
-
Nope - managed to pick the pic in which it was turned the other way - d'oh! ::)
That and the puddles didn't show up very well... ;D
Mind you it wouldn't have been a very good camera angle if I did - I figured full on shots of the gobbos rather than the tops of their heads would be better! :D
-
Awesome.
Go on... Poke a stick at them and try not to hit anything awesome.
-
These guys are painted really well and all have great expressions; they are some mean little buggers. Show us more pics of your elves too.
