I've finally gotten around to finishing off some goblins for my Fantasy gaming I think I bit off more than I could chew trying to do them all at once and so have split it in half. I am gong to do a few other figures from other ranges before painting the second half.
What you can see here is Goblin Warriors 2 pack and Half of the Goblins command pack (Bodyguard and Sub Chief or Champion as I like to think of him probably Oldhammer thinking ...) I have the Chieftain and Shaman left to do and a the goblin missile troops pack (2 bow and 2 slings). Once these 12 are finished I hope to reward myself with the other two goblin warrior packs bringing the total of goblins upto 20.
They are all cracking sculpts
I've tried a different method with the below mainly zooming in and then cropping using the s/w on my phone. Undecided still.
You'll notice the Dad- daughter project tag has been added and is in the title again. My Daughter Carmen is painting her other Young Fire elementalist (yay) We plan to do some Fantasy gaming together using some of my Otherworld adventurers as a sort of ad hoc town militia to back up the two mages. I am looking at various rulesets at the moment for it. With possibly using Frostgrave as the D20 takes out some of the predictability it seems.
WIP but we hope to finish her soon.
The First Fire Elementalist (called Elsa :P)
Anyway hope your all enjoying the lovely weather were having in the UK at the moment and talking of which this will be my last past for a couple of weeks whilst we go away on our Jollies to the seaside for a bit of R&R and family time.

Cracking sculpt, agree...and cracking paint job, love your Goblins!
ReplyDeleteWow some of the best painting I have seen from you Simon, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kaspar. looking back the OW stuff is probably a lot of my best work tbh.
DeleteEnjoy your holiday buddy, great figs and nothing better than getting your kids into the hobby
ReplyDeleteI will do thanks mate. Yeah its good fun and they always ask to play again :) I'm also eyeing up the Labyrinth board game as well.
DeleteWhat a great miniatures Simon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal! Really enjoyed them.
DeleteGreat minis with you usual great paint-job - all good stuff and your=father/daughter project looks like it's coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe yes is starting to come together :)
DeleteGreat work. It's brill to see your father daughter project.
ReplyDeleteThanks dude.
DeleteGreat Goblins.
ReplyDeleteGreat Father Daughter stuff as well.
She will never forget the time you spend with her.
Thanks Clint. I hope so. Carmen seems to enjoy it thats all I'm bothered about really.
DeleteIts great you do stuff with your daughter and great looking goblins!
ReplyDeleteThanks fella. Carmen always asks to help so why not :)
DeleteLovely figs. And I shall look forward to reading your father/daughter batreps!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gordon I shall hope to do some. Frostgrave rules have arrived so time to get reading whilst on vacation and can plan some warbands.
DeleteExcellent work from you both. :)
ReplyDeleteI will be watching the dad and daughter project unfold. :)
I think splitting down to smaller groups sometimes is the best way to avoid not finishing any of them. :)
Thanks dude. Yeah its certainly been a lot easier on the mind to do it in smaller chunks.
DeleteFantastic work!
ReplyDeleteI find the human skin on the Goblins very refreshing as opposed to the "standard" green!
Thanks dude I always preferred the skin colours described in the LOTR books. Also this skin tone is more D&D
DeleteGreat work as usual mate. I'm adopting a similar thing with my painting now, breaking projects up a little so I don't get that bogged down feeling.
ReplyDeleteGood to see the daddy/daughter wargaming time continuing, I've had my youngest painting alongside me the last week and we've been getting a battle box game of Hordes in almost daily lately :).
Awesome. I need to get more stuff painted up for us both to use.
DeleteSmashing work mate. Such great paintwork on such small miniatures.
ReplyDeleteThanks dude
DeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate!
Deletelots of Goblin goodness there Simon, and splendidly painted to boot!! You've certainly made them a tempting range. But there again everything you post these days seems to be done to distract me from my current projects ;-)
ReplyDeleteLol thanks Simon. Yes indeed the curse of every gamer to be tempted by everything!
DeleteLoving the father-daughter stuff. Always fantastic to hear that ones child loves art. The way those goblins are sculpted make them look like Ferrengi to me. :) Great choice on the orange-like skin tones which contrast nicely with the green clothes.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yeah my kids love art and creativity always dra wing and writing and making stuff.
DeleteMy Goblins get the D&D skin treatment as well - a little more brown though. Regardless, these look fab. Big fan of these sculpts - think they'd mix in just fine with my old 1980's TSR figs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai! I am not keen on greenskins apart from on Orcs much prefer my Goblins this colour. I may do a few darker ones to mix in. Was batch painting these so that why they all share a similar palette.
