Finished up my set of 6 Goblin Warriors for a game i will be DM for in April. Really happy with how they came out. Gnoll flesh paint from the Dungeon Dwellers set (really hope i can get this paint separately at some point) worked wonders for the Goblins and I think will be my go to for them from now on so as they have a distinct feel to them rather then having the same color set as say an Orc. Also because everyone knows that Goblins never take care of their weapons I was finally able to use my MiG rust pigments that have been siting around for about a year now and thing they turned out nice. Also getting more comfortable using the Happy Seppuku base stamps with green stuff. If I were to change something I think the only thing i would change next time removing them from the base as they don't take paint as well as other broccoli bases. Also and this is more of a style idea rather then a change, After watching some of the Goblin Slayer anime i'm intrigued by the idea of giving Goblin eyes a horizontal pupil, like a goats eye rather then the normal vertical as it does make them look slightly more unsettling. Finally as some flavoring if my players ask about the sword swinging goblins copper armor after the defeat him I will tell them (on a successful investigation check ) that in a surprising feat of Goblin ingenuity you find that this goblins has taken old copper coins from his victims and sewed them to a leather backing to create a set of crude armor if you take the time to remove the coins you find that you get about 70cp to add to your cash while the brass one will just be brass studs they flattened. All in All Happy with my new Mob squad.

Quick! Look over there while I crop photos. See also WIP:

Hello everyone. Here are some goblins a painted that I'm sure many of you are familiar with. I have not posted anything in a long time because married life kind of takes up lots of my time :)

Hello everybody. It's been a pleasure and honour to be able to watch and learn from you guys' submissions. And it's been fun for me to give my undeserved criticism to your amazing paints. These were the first minis I ever painted (this was back in December). They were painted with a box of Tamiya paints which I've since discarded. They are set in Freebooter inset/lip bases. The fish bones were created with a ring I bought for $1 in Shanghai. This ring has a cut-out of a fish, and I stamped it into milliput to get this effect. It's probably evident that I was more concerned with getting the paint in the right spots than I was with the consistency and thickness of the paint. I also learned a lesson about what happens when you decide it's a good idea to paint with pure black out of a 10 year old Testors bottle. I'm not particularly proud of these, but I have no plans to repaint them because they're my first minis! :) I seem to have lost the 4th guy, but I'm sure he'll turn up somewhere. Without further ado, les gobelins!
