Here’s the full batch of Goblins & Kobolds that have been posted over the last two weeks or so. I actually painted all of them at the same time, one of the larger batch paint jobs I’ve done. A few of these pictures are “in progress” versions, and a couple are after they were done. Goblins and Kobolds living together — Mass hysteria!Read More →
Ahhh, the last of this group of face-smashed Reaper Bones goblins! This guy has a very low-slung hat; not sure how well he can fire arrows without seeing, but he’s a gobbo so he’s probably not a great shot anyway… Now that these guys are all posted, we’re moving on to another “scrub”-level enemy who, in my opinion, are often underestimated…Read More →
This April fool is the 2nd-to-last of the currently painted Reaper Bones goblin minis – better models are coming! I like the GW goblins better than these, but I haven’t painted any of the WizKids goblins yet. Maybe they’ll be better; I have a pack of both the D&D goblins and the Pathfinder goblins, so we’ll see which one is best… When I get around to them, anyway. I do feel like my overall painting is better quickly; the muscle memory is coming back, the intuition about how the paints will react is getting better… Hopefully that feeling is reflected in the finished models, butRead More →
These goblins are examples of what drive me mad about the Reaper Bones miniatures. All of them have busted faces — not even really repairable. The detail is sometimes not clear, or the detail lines are not deep enough and they get lost in the primer or first thin layers. Luckily these aren’t heroes or “Big Bads”, where having them super-well-painted to centerpiece quality really isn’t the goal. As such, I just had to sigh and suffer through the unfortunate faces and WAY too skinny torsos of these models. It’s okay, in a group and on the table, they look good enough to be one-shot-kills-’emRead More →
So this guy had a busted face from the get-go. I did the best I could with it, but it’s a wreck. Even by goblin standards, this dude got beaten around the face with the ugly stick…Read More →
I’ve had the upcoming goblins for quite some time – they’ve even been used in games before, in all their white bones material glory. I’ve finally gotten around to cleaning them up & getting them painted — Here’s the first of the 5 I painted in this batch. Yes, I screwed up this one’s eyes. But they’re gobbos, and not likely to spend more than a few minutes on the table at a time… and others came out better, so I’m not sweating it.Read More →
I was only able to get one photograph of these 4 new Night Goblins before they began to wreak havok on the hobby station, so I had to get them straight to their unit where they could fight with each other and not me & my station. We end the month with the end of this set of models – How fitting!Read More →
“Just one big spike? BAH, Mine’s got a band of spikes! Come here, I’ll show you up close…”Read More →
‘Nother Netta… Night Gobbo Number 3 of this set. Getting a lot of painting done so far in 2019! It’s exciting!Read More →
“Oh, is this NOT what you meant by a pointed stick? It’s a stick… it’s got a pointy bit…”Read More →
