Goblins like Wyverns too : Finished Paint Page 2
« on: November 19, 2013, 08:59:25 AM »
Ever notice goblins always get the short end of the stick? Such bigotry will not be tolerated anymore...

"Goblins aren't as good as Orcs"
"Goblins can ride a wolf, maybe a spider, but a boar is too much animal for them to handle, let alone something as dangerous as a wyvern"
"Goblins are cute, but they should know their place"

well no longer! It's high time Goblins took to the sky!

I've been ...slowly... assembling a Goblin army for Kings of War (I like the element bases that are possible and the flexible ally/counts as possibilities)

I thought my Goblin king deserved a mighty beast, so he's going to ride a Wyvern and doesn't care how much it offends Orc sensibilities.

Put a little paint to the conversion this week:

Beautiful work on the Wyvern (also one of my favourite quasi-dragon creatures).

The new Goblin on the Old Wyvern looks FANTASTIC...I love the colors you've chosen for the Beasty & the base is OUTSTANDING. Have FUN finishing it off!

I'm a goblin fan myself. Good to see the little bastards get the love they deserve! Great variety to choose from too.

Them's some purdy daubs.  :-*

Great model too! I recognise it but can't quite place it. Old Citadel? The wings look similar to the dragonmaster mini.

Thanks for the feedback everyone  :D
I'll have him finished by the end of the month, that's the goal I set for it.

Vermis: yep, it's a very old Citadel Miniature, released August 1987

DeafNala: Thanks, I was a bit hesitant about adding a new goblin, some nagging notion about 'keep it all 80's Kev Adams era' but in the end, I really liked how this goblin looked on him, raising his shield and yelling, he just looked like he was feeling triumphant and wanted on that wyvern, so I let him ;)

Those greens are outstanding - one of my favourite goblin sculpts too!

Thanks all, I noticed the last picture repeated, not sure why, so fixed that. I'll have more progress pictures early next week  :D
