Some miniatures for Song of Blades and Heroes (ogre bodyguard for Mordheim)

[DeafNala]

I do LOVE these trips down Memory Lane. AND some of the Old Warriors are new to me. OUTSTANDING WORK!

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks!

Here's the based element:

And here's a warg. He's destined for a magician element's base; I hope to finish the magician this afternoon.

Fine work on those orcs - your hoods are particularly effective.
There truly is no end to the variants on those codes...

I recently finished a couple of them (with new weapons to replace broken ones) that I hope to post pics of soon.

And that's an excellent warg! Where is he from? He's not unlike one of an Essex triad I have (but much better painted).

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks!

The warg is from an old Grenadier boxed set: Sauron's Dark Ones. I picked him up second hand in some eBay joblot. I also have the orc captain from the set, acquired separately.

I look forward to seeing your FTO orcs. Weapon replacement is often a necessity with these; I have a few more of variants of the orc with the axe held out, but this is the only one who has survived the decades intact. I'm planning to drill through their hands and perhaps use them as standard bearers. The orc on the right had to have his axe replaced with a plastic one.

And here's the magician. He's an old Chronicle hobgoblin shaman. I love this figure: he's crude but effective. I have another kicking around that I'll paint up for skirmish games.

[Severian]

He's great!

Cracking work with the symbols, too. Are these brushwork or some type of pen?

Chronicle - Nick Lund?

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks!

Severian, the symbols were done with micron pen - much quicker than with a brush. You can get a pack of them for about a tenner on Amazon, if memory serves. John Blanche and Aly Morrison used to recommend pens for eyeballs and details. I think they work very well for 'bringing up' an otherwise rough and ready paintjob.

Argonor, yes - from this range:



Those hobgoblins loomed large in my childhood - I can remember primary-school "wargames" that involved toppling them from fortifications built with wooden blocks by dint of shooting them with a toy crossbow bought in Sienna!

[Argonor]

I always use a 0.05 black permanent felt marker for the irides/pupils of eyes. Never occurred to me to draw musters/symbols with it 

[Severian]

Great, thanks. I'll add some to my Christmas list...

[Hobgoblin]

They're handy for tattoos too:



Here's a very basic paintjob on a fairly basic miniature: an old Acropolis bear. I've added a club and shield for Moorcockian reasons (a reference to the Corum books specifically). He won't win any prizes, but he'll take his place at the back of one of the next chaos horde elements.

The paintjob on the warg is amazing! Love the shaman as well (and everything else!), he's always been a favourite fig of mine as well.

I just wish I could find some alternatives to black around here (as always, Denmark is a complicated country to live in for miniature painters/gamers).
