Lots of goblins

-I think someone is following us...

Thinking about this couple of units, it was the most stressful month of the past OWAC. An entire horde of goblins to paint, plus some trolls (which were shown in a previous post). I've never painted so many models in a hurry. Well, not at this level at least, some tournaments with bare sketchy base colours applied to several dwarf units, lot different to fully finished units.

Until April I only had two gobbos painted because why not.

But from two to 30 there is a long run. I wanted to try something new for the skin variation in this lot. Instead of layering and usual glazing I'd normally do, I tried a different mass-glazing approach.

I made a greyscale (or sepia) sketch after priming. Then, the goblins were divided by skin each tone. Some will be glazed with greens, other ones with pale blueish skin and others with the typical bright green skin.

As you may have noticed, I took more time with the shields. After getting the varied tones I wanted for the skins and clothes, the time saved with the glazing helped a lot to get this month done as well as to dedicate to paint some old school shield motifs.

The last two normal goblins were painted in a previous month as I said before. This couple was special because they were the first goblins (& orcs!) I got in the collection, together with the champion of the rock lobba which remain unpainted. I know that one of them is a lesser goblin, but as they came in the lot they had some kind of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill charm so they went into the same unit.

Next, the command group (well, the banner bearer and the champion, as the musician is in the previous pictures, I mistook it)

Punks not dead.

I enjoyed paiting the banner based in a local fanzine, following the punk theme of the unit and the champion. I felt that the drawing and the phrase catch perfectly the character of the rabble of small troublemakers.

Total:

19x Goblins

Light armour + spear + javelin + shields
Banner and musician

The champion came from Ral Partha. It will be noticed inside such a chaotic unit.

There were not enough goblins for this month, so I pushed my luck a little bit and painted also a unit of goblin archers. They're mostly C12/13 goblins except for some wolf raiders that I repaired and had no wolf, so they were added to the unit.

10x Goblin stikkas

Short bow

[35 points]

A productive month. I am trying to collect an army capable of playing Blood Bath at Orc's Drift Campaign. However, with the awesome C12/13 goblins it is impossible to resist and complete the army book's two mandatory goblin units rule. In the future I will get to the 20 stikkas, dunno if expanding the spear goblin unit up to 30.

Adrian's out!
