Title: Goblins like Wyverns too : Finished Paint Page 2
Post by: Laughing Ferret on 19 November 2013, 08:59:25 AM

Ever notice goblins always get the short end of the stick? Such bigotry will not be tolerated anymore...

"Goblins aren't as good as Orcs"
"Goblins can ride a wolf, maybe a spider, but a boar is too much animal for them to handle, let alone something as dangerous as a wyvern"
"Goblins are cute, but they should know their place"

well no longer! It's high time Goblins took to the sky!

I've been ...slowly... assembling a Goblin army for Kings of War (I like the element bases that are possible and the flexible ally/counts as possibilities)

I thought my Goblin king deserved a mighty beast, so he's going to ride a Wyvern and doesn't care how much it offends Orc sensibilities.

Put a little paint to the conversion this week:

Beautiful work on the Wyvern (also one of my favourite quasi-dragon creatures).

The new Goblin on the Old Wyvern looks FANTASTIC...I love the colors you've chosen for the Beasty & the base is OUTSTANDING. Have FUN finishing it off!

I'm a goblin fan myself. Good to see the little bastards get the love they deserve! Great variety to choose from too.

Them's some purdy daubs.  :-*

Great model too! I recognise it but can't quite place it. Old Citadel? The wings look similar to the dragonmaster mini.

Thanks for the feedback everyone  :D
I'll have him finished by the end of the month, that's the goal I set for it.

Vermis: yep, it's a very old Citadel Miniature, released August 1987

DeafNala: Thanks, I was a bit hesitant about adding a new goblin, some nagging notion about 'keep it all 80's Kev Adams era' but in the end, I really liked how this goblin looked on him, raising his shield and yelling, he just looked like he was feeling triumphant and wanted on that wyvern, so I let him ;)

Those greens are outstanding - one of my favourite goblin sculpts too!

Echoing what everyone else has said above - fantastic green shades on that wyvern  :o

Thanks all, I noticed the last picture repeated, not sure why, so fixed that. I'll have more progress pictures early next week  :D

The Goblin King, Brokentooth, on his Wyvern, Spitter, is now complete.

There are a whole lot of different angle pictures, so for the complete set, you'll find them (and more wisdom from Brokentooth himself) here:

But here are some give the idea:

That looks WONDERFUL! The Beast, base, banner, & Goblin King are all BEAUTIFULLY modeled & painted...that turned out even better than I anticipated. VERY WELL DONE!

It's good to see Brokentooth has his priorities straight. War for its own sake is for those moronic Orcs....Drugs, & Sex, & Rock & Roll is the Goblin way.

Like the colours on the wyvern.

Great painting and conversion job.

Thanks everyone  :D

DeafNala: Brokentooth has his priorities straight  ;)

Thanks Gutbukkit.. now I just need to get at the army for him to lead

Redshadows: Nice, thanks :) I don't do Facebook, so nice to have some sharing on that. I started with Warhammer 3rd ed, so Oldhammer speaks to me, hopefully this much more modern goblin riding this ancient wyvern will not disappoint the purists  ;)  He seemed a good thematic fit to my eye so I went with it

Beefcake: thanks, the banner was a lot of fun to paint.
