Four A Goblins

[Thantsants]

Hi one and all - finally got around to painting up the rest of my Four A goblins that have been skulking round the back of the paint queue for far too long.

They're lovely minis, packed full of little details - just need those mounted ones now Andy! 



They join the first five I painted for the LPL season 5 -



 - to form a nice little warband, 15 strong.





Command Group



All the little aquatic/seaside details are brilliant - shell shields and armour and the like 





I decided to echo the shield design from one of the original Soggy Bottom Boyz' shields on their standard.





I tried to go for a tortoise shell effect for the champion - not sure I nailed it 100% but I quite liked the effect anyhow.







and the rank and file - if you can call such individualistic fellows as these rank and file -

I'm sure there's a very good reason this fellow is keeping a tight hold of his little pet - they seem to be quite de rigeur this season 



As its been well over a year since I painted up the original five goblins matching skintones was going to be a pain - so I didn't bother! As I said, they're an individualistic bunch -



I was quite chuffed with how this chap's shield came out and not an intricate shield design in sight!





Here's one tooled up Gobbo 





Another archer



and another spearman with a killer grin



Might have to finish off my Bederken Dwergs in between Norse, amazon and Slann for my Lustria project, and give these little fellows a trot out with Dave King's Skulldred rules - been far too long since I had a game...

Lovely work, very evil looking and full of character.

[DowVooVoo]

by the Gods sir those are GREAT!!!

[DeafNala]

VERY WELL DONE! You did a GREAT job bringing the Little Green Lads to life in your own cool style. I really like the way you did the pebbly snake skins; the pattern is TERRIFIC.

Lovely miniatures and a great paintjob. What a warband, mate! Love the sea theme: the banner is wonderful and really perfect for them. Very well done.
And that two-heads champion is really fantastic. I'll have to paint one sooner or later.

Fantastic stuff!

Do you mind if I post them over on the Four A Blog?

All the best!

Top job Steve, they really turned out well! I quite like how the clam shell shields turned out.

God damn, these are all the flavours of awesome. I love the patterning you used, especially on the hooded guy. These lads are choc full of character too, what a great warband they make.

 Great work on these Steve.The tooled up goblin is a scout.Love seeing them all in a unit together.

 Will send Kev Adams a link to this post.He will be starting on a few more for me soon too .They will go with the other eleven I have by him and five little lizards too.

Thanks one and all for all the kind words  

Do you mind if I post them over on the Four A Blog?

Be my guest 

Great news Andy on the additions, they're shaping up into a really nice little range. Was there a mention of crabs at some point or have I been reading Island of the Lizard King too much recently? Come to mention it - Styracosaurus would make a good mount too  

Have you released any pics of the latest eleven goblins and lizards - can't remember seeing any anywhere?

have I been reading Island of the Lizard King too much recently?

Fear the Gonchong!

These are some great-looking little classic-style models and you've really brought them to life. Really nice stuff.   

[clam]

These are fantastic. You did a wonderful job to some wonderful miniatures.

[Funghy-Fipps]

Saw these on your blog, but didn't have time to comment then.  I do really like these minis and with one of your paintjobs I like them even more!  Excellent work.

[Dr. The Viking]

Just wow!

[Sybou]

He will be starting on a few more for me soon too .They will go with the other eleven I have by him ...

This didn't go unnoticed ... can you please inform us on the kind of weaponry they're going to have? Will we have more bows?
