Vendel Goblins - Now with Wolves!

[Dr. Kevin Moon III esq.]

I was looking for something simple to paint as a break from foundry mercenary ogres and 10mm bits and I pulled these out of the lead mountain.

I copied the colour scheme straight from the old WI advert - I'm really pleased with it. Sadly it does mean instead of clearing some models out, I'll end up ordering more and making a small force for SBH or LoTR SBG!

Very nice. I have a bunch of Vendel minis in the lead mountain....they are very nice figures.

I decided I'd paint up some wolves and wolf riders I found in the same bag.

[Funghy-Fipps]

Very nice indeed.  I've always had a softy spot for the Vendel fantasy range.

The Lads are BEAUTIFULLY painted & based. While, to moi, they look more like Hobbits than Goblin, they are cool Little Guys nonetheless. VERY WELL DONE!

Nice work, I like to see goblins that are different from the GW/World of Warcraft look.

What he said. Vendel had a take on Tolkien inspired by the classic imagery, which I quite like despite my great appreciation for Peter Jackson's adaptation. Too bad the Vendel figures have been sold overseas, makes them too pricey for me.

Anyway, love to see them well painted. Looking forward to your progress.

Always liked these figures. The best of Vendel's ranges as far as I'm concerned. The sculpting style suits the subject matter. 

[Little Odo]

Fantastic bit of painting - I hardly recognised the figures (in a good way) due to the great paint job.

It is nice to see gobbos painted up non-green for a change. I agree with the posters above and would like to see that GW green-skins thing knocked into touch. I have always toyed with buying a few minis for a warband from Vendel but as Mad Doc mentioned above, now that they have moved overseas, the additional postage rates take them beyond my meagre pockets. Darn.
