Title: Painted Goblins. Now some Foundry Orcs.
Post by: blacksmith on December 20, 2014, 10:26:42 PM: Testing skin tones I painted these three Goblins from the old Harlequin range sold by Black Tree. I think these Goblins were sculpted by Kevin Adams.
I liked how they turned up.

I think WWII uniform colours are good as skin tones for Orcs and Goblins.
Cheers,

For the one on the right I used Vallejo Japanese uniform with a wash of Army Painter Quickshade soft tone.

I've seen a couple of Guys doing their Goblins with varying skin shades AND they look just fine...that's something to consider if you can't pick just one. Beyond the skin tones, you did an OUTSTANDING job on the brushwork. VERY WELL DONE!

Thank you DeafNala, the one on the left is my favourite as well.

Post by: manic _miner on December 21, 2014, 07:38:47 PM: They all look great but the right one with spear just seems a better choice.Seeing a whole lot of them together will look great with the different skin tones.

Actually, I was thinking of paint them with different skin tones (some brownish or even reddish) or go for just one or maybe two basic colours. I think I will paint some more with different tones in the end.
Thank you guys for the kind comments. I have to say I really enjoy painting these beauties.

I only have 20 of them to form a unit in case I ever use them for WH 3rd edition, but mostly for skirmishes.

Still testing skin tones. I really like the brown orangish new one. Happy Near Year!

Post by: Funghy-Fipps on December 31, 2014, 07:45:10 PM: Great brush-work. I notice BTD have a sale on these guys at the moment: might have to grab a couple of packs after seeing your take on them.

Post by: DeafNala on December 31, 2014, 11:40:12 PM: The Lads of Varying Shades look TERRIFIC...I'm partial to the orange flesh tones also. AND beyond the superficial, your brushwork is OUTSTANDING! GREAT WORK!

Title: Re: Painted Goblins. Now some archers
Post by: DeafNala on April 17, 2015, 10:50:09 PM: The new Goblins are UBERCOOL as only Goblins can be. Their preferred up-close-&-personal-from-a-distance tactic is in play. Your brushwork is as OUTSTANDING as always. The color choices are BEAUTIFUL...the varying kin tones in particular. VERY WELL DONE!

Post by: affun on May 05, 2015, 09:24:44 PM: I love those Foundry orcs :-* Some of the very best made in my opinion. I only wish that they were more readily available.

Very nice paintjobs as well.

Apologise for my odd grammar: blame android corrector...
Title: Re: Painted Goblins. Now some Foundry Orcs.
Post by: blacksmith on May 06, 2015, 08:07:21 PM: I have 19 of these orcs and all of them have a different face expression. They are full of character and quite old school looking IMO. I love them.
Many thanks for the kind comments guys.

I really like how those brown goblin archers turned out. That is a lovely paint scheme all around.

I don't know how I had missed your blog till now :o :o :o consider yourself followed. ;)
