Goblin Army part 2

As promised here is the second part of the Goblin commission I recently completed; 20 Archers, a Spear Chucka and the completed Army Standard Bearer.

I found that after painting the banner the central design needed bringing out a little more, so I added some dagz to the edges to make it a little more striking.

Sourgutz Goblin Stikkaz occupy the hamlet of Twee. Who knows what
dastardly nastiness they've inflicted on the poor inhabitants?
 


That's all for now, cheers for looking :-)

Orcs, orcs, orcs, orcs! Part 2

This is the second part in my series on an Orc army that I recently painted. Last time I focused on the centre point regiment in the army, the Orc Boyz. This time around we'll take a look at everyone's favourite sneaky little fellows, the Goblins!

First off the Night Goblin Big Boss and two units of Night Goblins.




 A regiment of Goblin Wolf Riders 

These guys were great fun to paint! There's something about greenskins which sparks my imagination. I find myself creating little narratives for them, in my head, whilst painting them. I find that when painting armies, keeping that flame of inspiration alight is key. Being faced with a massive load of models can be quite daunting, so I think it's important to find ways of getting through them and enjoying doing it (it is our hobby (for me it's more a jobby) after all).
Thanks for looking guys,
Check back for more Orcs and Goblins fun!

Goblin Army

This month I got stuck into some sneaky green skins, there have been quite a few Orc and Goblin commissions in the studio recently so I was happy to have a crack at painting some.

As we were working on the same units at the same time, Thomas Moore (Wickedcarrot in forumland) and I had a little race of who could paint ten Goblin wolf riders the fastest! Sadly I lost..... Next time Carrot!

 
 
My favourite element of the commission was the Army Standard Bearer. The client had a cool design that they wanted depicting, and I think the finished banner creates a great centrepiece to the army. The warmachines were also great fun to do, the crew are so characterful.
 
That's all for now, more pics of my work to follow soon!
