Here’s another Kobold that’s managed to get grubby paws on a shield. I tried to vary the cloth colors on Kobolds that share a sculpt. I know they all still look the same, but it does add at least a little variety.Read More →
Ah, yes – a different sculpt! This kobold is brandishing his dagger while raising his shield… I bet we see another one like him soon… I do like how this kobold came out — He’s got this classy skull belt clip!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 →
