Bog Gobs! 4A Goblins...

[Thantsants]

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! 

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... 



























I have plans for these guys games-wise - just need to make a nice big swamp for them first... 

[Luddite]

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.

[Thantsants]

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! 

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.

[Thantsants]

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.

[Thantsants]

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... 

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! 

[Delaney]

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.
