Goblins, Hallowe’en and Riding Witches

A bit of a mixture of topics. I decided I had better add some painting back in in case you all thought it had become a medical blog.

So yes I got the goblins and paints out and made some progress, not as much as I would have liked, but progress is still progress…

It is mainly just the metalwork to do and the back of the shields. I would have got further but my daughter was off getting sweeties from random strangers for Hallowe’en, so dad’s taxi was requested to bring them home.

So finally, a FB friend shared this. Now I am not 100% sure, but I believe a comma would help make the sentence mean what she meant.

Now I suppose if I need to or have to then okay, but I believe she meant let’s ride, witches. Punctuation is important… if you remove the capital letter then the following sentence has a totally different meaning…

‘I am going to help my Uncle Jack off his horse!’

Tomorrow back to the goblins… I hope

Oh yeah, evidently I have shrunk. I was measured yesterday and have lost about an inch and a half in height!

A Smidge on the Goblins

This evening I was a bit pooped and really couldn’t be bothered to paint anything.

I did force myself to do a bit so spent a little time painting the tunics on the rank and file.

To speed things up I painted them all a grey colour. Basically they are all in un-dyed cloth.

Hopefully I will crack on tomorrow and get a fair bit done.

Goblin Pole Arms

This evening I managed to get some work done on the goblins.

I shall carry on with these tomorrow. There is still a lot to do… especially on the ones in the background. The one with the log for the helmet is a total repaint. The middle one and him are pretty much finished now.

Goblins and the Nuns

Tonight I got the pole armed goblins from out of their box. I then spent an absolute age trying to find some missing ones.

I eventually decided that I didn’t have them and made do with some spares from the other sets.

In the box were my Mordheim Sisters. I never liked how these were painted so they have been white washed too.

I will hopefully make a start on them tomorrow.

There are two units of twelve in the background. I think I have four foot units (including the unpainted one). They are spread all of the place.

Goblins Done

When I say done, I mean the seven that I had undercoated.

Here they are robbing out the stones from the wall.

I also got the frogs done too.

For these photos I decided to try out my background book…

I also used one of my battle mats. To go onto the table.. I am pleased with how it looks for both photos.

I will probably do the dozen goblins with spears next. Well I need them done as soon as possible as Highland Miniatures are bringing out orks next month. I am liking what I see so far.

Grimdark Future…

City Fight Edition. We played at the club with three a side..Aliens (aka Tyranids and Genestealer cults) with chaos support were holding the city and we,the human forces had to push them back.

There were huge casualties on both sides. Sadly it ended in a draw. Although we cleared out the left flank and centre we didn’t have enough time or resources to push on.

It was a good game all round.

Undead Knights Finished

Well this afternoon I finished the knights. I decided on the maroon/purple for the white bits. I wanted to add a brighter colour to give them a bit more oomph. I had originally thought to go with red, but I reckon I chose the correct colour. you can see the one I was thinking of to the left of the second photo.

Tonight I am off to the club to get trounced, I mean play another game of Grimdark Future.

Skeletal Cavalry

Tonight I sat myself down and got to work on the skeletal knights. I fully didn’t intend to do a great deal. I stuck Men in Black on Netflix as some background noise and away I went,..

I got this far. Bridles, pennants, the standard and the leader’s scabbard to do. A bit of work on the base and they will be pretty much done.

Major Storm warning for tomorrow. Probably the reason for all the helicopters flying around with telegraph poles over the last week.

Archers All Done.

Tonight I decided to get these finished. It was really just the iron boots on them all and a blast around to try and hit any white spots.

I also sprayed the skeletons and rock chuckers. I think I will do the skellies first. I may have to support the horses to avoid the flexible resin droop.

Actually thinking about it, I have a couple of space frogs that I undercoated. So I might as well do these alongside the skeletons.
