Oh schaurig ist‘s übers Moor zu gehen. Florian‘s Silver Bayonet

That Snigrot fellow looks somewhat fishy. Can't lay my finger on it. 🤔 Maybe it's because he's from Oldenburg, those friesians are a special bunch. 🤷‍♂️
 

Definitely that and not his pale green skin, quite usual thanks to the unhealthy living in the bogs, and the steampipe on his back! 

[DivisMal]

So, the sun is up, and I managed to take a slightly better picture of Snigrot.

[Malamute]

He’s a nasty little bugger!

I like him

[LoxIslay]

Nice Vampire and hunter!

[Metternich]

Your gobos are a treat.

Deep Ones perhaps.

Deep Ones perhaps. 

This might explain a lot. 
Sorry for all the flak to the north-Germans, lived for two years in Bremen before I retreated back beyond the Weißwurt-Äquator.

Cracking paintjob on the Goblin!

And yes, Oldenburg is a place. shudders

So does Bonaparte. Snigrot is someone for the really dirty jobs.

Nice Vampire and hunter!

Thank you! Both have been painted quite some time ago, but got new bases and a rework, highlights etc.

Deep Ones perhaps. 

I’m really tempted. Has anyone an idea where to get suitable deep ones? They might have a colony at Emden.

Okay, just to make things clear: I’m from the west, Ruhr Area, with Silesean roots, but have been living in the North for quite some time. Since a couple of years, I’m even the curator of the archaeological collection of the state museum, I hope that entitles me to make some fun of my new home.

Btw: Oldenburg only has a Frisian minority. Even today the border between German/Saxon and Frisian territories is marked in Wilhelmshaven. Quite a strange thing to behold. That doesn’t make Oldenburg less a strange place. Until very recently (and in the minds of any inhabitants), it’s still an own country. Oldenburg (city) in Oldenburg (land), goes the voice in the train upon arriving… Actually I love these quirks.

Anyway, I’d really be interested in a few Frisian Deep Ones. Maybe one of the Frisian tea companies in Emden or Leer has made contact or the whalers on the North Frisian islands?

[DivisMal]

I’ve finished my goblins…mostly. There are still a few details, highlights, base rims needed.

Here is the whole bunch together. I’ll post details later.

[DivisMal]

So. I’ve got a few minutes to spend on LAF while my daughter gets ready for bed watching a bit TV. 

The first one is a classic kobold mischief maker. I’m unsure whether to do pupils in the eyes. He looks pretty evil with the white eyes.

Then a typical Heinzelmann. If you offer him a cup of milk every day, he’s a nice guy, helpful in the house and even in the smithy. But since Bonaparte has been trying to suppress rural superstition, the Heinzelmännchen have become quite aggressive and mean. Model from an old Rackham set.

Next one is also from Rackham and will be used along the same lines. This Heinzelmann helped the kind housewives of the villages with firing up their ovens. Now he sets their husbands on fire.

[DivisMal]

So, I’m writing up this guy’s background now for the third time because my internet crashes. Maybe my wife forgot to put out the milk for the kobolds?

I’ll make single posts now. Even if it’s annoying, it’s not as annoying as having to retype everything again..,

The next one is the real Rumpelstilzchen, the stealer of babies and master of secrets. One of the leaders of the little folk uprising!

[DivisMal]

Then come Hinz and Kunz. What they lack in size, they make up in mischief! Since they aren’t the biggest fellows, one usually climbs upon the other’s shoulders and they hide behind bushes.

Another great old Rackham sculpt.

[DivisMal]

Last, but not least, here’s a Klabautermann who’s been shipwrecked at the North Ses coast. I now realize that I need to do some details here..
Again a model from Rackham.

Then we have a lovely old Citadel familiar. I intend to make him a very lonely Celtic spirit who has been left in Northern Germany when the Oppida civilization ended and with it Celtic life. Oh to be in jolly Eire!

Edit: the site crashed again while I was typing this entry. I really need to check the milk…🤔
