Geek Club Goblins

Today was Friday after school Geek Club. I decided to take some of my goblins into school and paint them during Geek Club. I didn’t get as far as I wanted as my boss phoned up, but a start is a start I suppose.

I decided to do the general on his swamp creature as well make a start on a couple of the unit leaders.

The general miniature is really lovely and I spent ages trying to decide on the colours. Bright and poisonous or lurking colours.

I split the difference and did a bit of both, it was only when I was painting the head that I realised that it looked a bit like a shark’s snout. Hence the blue green colouration. Stripes are going to be yellow I think. The belly will be a light colour as befits a creature that lives in liquid.

Now the background for these is that the goblins are in red cloaks. I am not sure about this. I am thinking dark green instead. I suppose, my world, my rules.

Piggy Boy

šŸ· I got him finished during Geek club today.

Now I am going to be honest, when I first saw these alongside the chameleons I was not overly impressed. Not with the sculpts, but I was disappointed that they werenā€™t conquistador pigs..

I actually really love them now and printed a couple to do at home sometime.

Berserker Finished

Tonight I managed to get the berserker finished. I slapped a bit of paint on some of the others too.

I will work on the rest tomorrow.

As the female engineer actually has more than just her face painted then I think subconsciously that she is joining this warband.

Getting Hairy

Tonight my daughter and I were playing Ark again. Which mainly involved raiding Deinonychus nests for high level eggs. High level eggs means high level parents, who funnily enough object to nest raiding. Some extreme close calls occurred. We now have a hunting pack of six with more eggs to hatch. Next upā€¦ the breeding programme.

All I can say is thank goodness this isnā€™t Jurassic Park!

Because of the gaming I only really had a chance to paint some hairā€¦

I will carry on tomorrowā€¦

Showing Too Much Skin?

Okay technically, the only thing that is showing is skin. My plan was to have hundreds, nay thousands to flock to the blog. If you are one of them then sorry. Well I suppose it is better than when he opened the box he needed to get helpā€¦

So I did some skinā€¦ then we played Ark. hopefully I will get some more painting done tomorrow.

I heard an interesting question the other dayā€¦ discussā€¦ ā€˜what happens if you put a werewolf on the moon?ā€™

Vampiric Warband

Tonight I worked on the last three miniatures for the warband.

Here the whole force areā€¦

There is only one vampire in the force so the winged one and the dire wolf are in the box. The vampire was an extra miniature and the wolf is a model ready for a points increase.

Had a hell of a day today, so it was good to have a bit of a relaxing painting session.

Vampires and Floors

Not a usual mix I must admit, but tonight I worked on these two. Mainly faffing about with the armour, but progress is progressā€¦

I also made twenty individual paving slabs to make a floor. Donā€™t ask me why as I really canā€™t say. They were quite therapeutic thoughā€¦

Now that I have the 25mm base unit I can knock one out in about 30 seconds. Sadly the rough chipped ones are the ones that cannot be seen. I will print a set out to see what they actually look like.

My original idea was to use the geometry nodes to make randomised tile patterns from the above. I might get round to it one day.

Mrs Bunny in the Fields

Tonight the septic tank backed up again so I wasn’t really I the mood to paint anything. I did however get some of my home made tufts on the Goonmaster rabbit.

I just realised there’s some paint where there shouldn’t be any!

I also had a faff around with blender. Sculpting this time. I thought Mordheim needs lots of fallen timbers… watch this space.

Late Night Painting

Okay not too late, but I decided I wanted to do some painting before bed.

I went a bit mad with the blood effects earlier this evening. I had also redid the rust on the armour as I hadnā€™t stirred the dirty down rust effect. So although I shook it like mad for ages, the important bits were stuck to the bottom.

I added some flesh wash to the ghouls as they looked a bit naff.

I will hopefully carry on with these tomorrow on my day off.

Zombie Dudes

Tonight I worked on the five zombies. Now to be honest for speed I went for the ‘standard’ green zombie look. I actually wish I had gone more for the multi hued versions I did for my undead army as seen below…

This lot were obviously all buried at the same time and resurrected likewise…

I was hoping to get them finished, but they still need a bit of work. Joe is coming for another One Ring game tomorrow night so it might be Monday before I get them done.

While I remember the Big Fire Festival is Tuesday this week and it will be live streamed. Definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it before.
