Title: Working on a fantasy pirate gang - Finished !
Post by: Thib-0 on 04 September 2012, 02:42:11 PM
Painting a Goblin Pirate gang to play with Alkemy. As a start, the Black Troll from Rackham. This is a lovely miniature to paint, full of funny details, like a cyclopic eye, rhum bottles, a fish tail, mushrooms, etc.  ;D I gave him a copper armor to avoid a too greyish overall appearance, especially on the rear.
Hope you like it.

VERY WELL DONE! I really like your skin tones & color choices in general. You did a FINE job bringing that GREAT mini to life.
I can't wait to see the rest of the Crew...well, I actually can wait, but it will be difficult.

Very nice paintwork on a very characterful mini.
Have you seen Karsten's (Vikotnik's) goblin pirates. I can't seem to find the thread right now, but he's used the Rackham pirates and they're beautifully done - they might be an inspiration.

The armor looks great! And all the lovely littel details, and the anchor as a weapon, very fitting. I'm not sure about the angle of the arm however, it looks a bit unnatural for a humanoid creature  ???

I've seen his thread and his models are a great inspiration. I have the Rackham gobo pirates too and I'll probably go the same way  ;) Love the ship he has done.

Are you talking about his right arm? He has a dismembered arm in his right hand. In this case,the angle of the photo can be a little confusing here.

very nice paintjob on that troll mate!  :-* Nice colors choice, especially the armour.
Love that model. It's really perfect for a fantasy pirate gang. What are you planning next?  :P

Haha you are right, I hadn't even noticed the severed arm in his hand, it makes more sense now... however,  his REAL arms are still in a pose that looks pretty taxing on his shoulder muscles ;)

As most of you all proposed, I'll go for the complete Rackham goblin pirates range. Maybe I'll add some humas pirates to it from the Ron 'n Bones range, think they fit well.
Here's the rest of the gang with the pirate heroes.

Very colorful, fitting for a rag-tag bunch of misfits ;)

I love that gobling pirate who kind of stands on his toes pointing his stick at some birds, I think there's a miniature of him too, I hope you have that one ;)

He was part of Cadwallon's gravediggers guild or something. Unfortunately, I don't have the mini. I'm working on a "Blind Pew" goblin miniature from the R range for the moment. Very nice model. Btw, Paul Bonner is my favorite illustrator ;D.

Just checked them out. Some very cool minis there. Thanks for the tip.  :)

Painting a Goblin Pirate gang to play with Alkemy.

Do you know the Black Scorpion Goblin Pirates ? they are pretty fun to paint.
They are probably not medieval enough for your project but in case of ...

whoa! brilliant troll and goblins! I actually like the color-scheme from Your version more than the rackhamial one!  :-*

The Freebooter goblins jumped to my mind, too, lovely sculpts, the lot of them. They got this very cool shark-on-his-back gobbo and the ork-goblin Captain! quite fitting, I think.
And - best of all - some female goblins (yes, I am sure about it ^^)

I thought that Gazpez Arts and Avatar of War has got some pirate-goblins, too, but not so. Goblins, yes, but no pirate ones.

anyway! very cool paintings so far

best wishes
DK

Yep, I have them. They look to much "officers-like" for my taste. Still pretty figures.

They're on my list right now.  :)

I gave the band some combat power and fire power first. Here's the ogre with cannon.

It's "Barracuda" from the Ron and Bones line (Tale of War minis).
