[Group/Open] WIP Goblins and Kobolds and Rats, oh my! Bones Dungeon Attack

[Joe Wells]

Well, someone had to do it. Feel free to post your Bones goblins, kobolds, and rats in here.

 

A lot of n00bz people new to miniature painting (including myself) had expressed interest in painting the rats first. They're small, don't have much detail, and are generally non-threatening. Just like a CR 1/3 creature should be.

 

So here are mine. After some attention with my needle files and a good scrub, I started off with some black slobbering. Most of these were done with 9037 Pure Black, the two all-black tail-up rats with 9289 Noir Black, just so I could see the difference. Noir Black is just a tiny, tiny bit lighter than the Pure Black. Someone with more experience could probably explain it better. I can only tell the difference when they're side-by-side.

 

 

 

Here's some base coating. Straight 9384 Lonestar Leather on the brown ones. About a 5:2 mix of 9086 Stone Grey : 9289 Noir Black on the bases.

 

 

 

Of course, you HAVE to have an albino. I basecoated this one with 9039 Pure White with juuuust a bit of 9286 Punk Rock Pink. I guess we'll see if that was a mistake or not. I also hit the bases with some 9086 Stone Grey.

 

 

 

That's as far as I've gotten thus far. I kind of forget that I should be thinning the paint going on after the basecoats. I guess I'll get the hang of this.

 

I'll probably hit the bases with a darker wash, then go for some highlights. Mr. albino will get a closer-to-pure-white coat, and the rest... I'll figure out as I go.

 

Good painting everyone!

Haha, I love the pink one. I think you should keep it that way, rather than shading all the way up to white.

Give it a cutie mark, like Ponies.

Well alright, Here are some more up close pictures of my Goblinz.

 

 

I feel like they look realistic, but, I realize they don't have nearly enough contrast. Any tips or advice are welcome.

 

edit: I think these were taken before I lightened up and retouched the bases where the paint had worn off.

If it's worth the time, bring up the highlights. Much more than you think. The tanned leather to a tanned skin tone, the yellowish jerkins to an ochre yellow, and the skin to a bright, light green.

 

I'd say the skin is especially important for getting a good read on the tabletop.

I am so going to do this now, even if the cutie marks are just 1-12

[Elyiot]

I definitely will, if not on these guys, I will going forward - I basically consider these my "first", and so they get to be enshrined with all there errors in tact. Any advice or tips I get will still be helpful for future painting though.

It is the first time I opened the 2nd set of the vampire pledge.

 

I removed the Dungeon Attack Creatures and put the others back until I have time to count and check them.

 

So here are my 24 WIP Kobolds. I used vallejo parasite brown and a yellow color for the clothes.

 

I saw this week a color which helps to make surfaces look like marble. I think I will get it and check if I can get a marble look on the pointy part of the spear.

 

 

Edit: One is missing if I'm counting correctly, so he must be got away somehow...

Edit again: I caught him!:-)

Right, found the Group WIP. that's the start!!

 

I have cut all the broccoli off and re-based my dungeon goblins, kobold and rats on 20mm dungeon square bases:

They are undercoated with Halfords grey primer' which I was scared to try but it is awesome, I did a test first.

 

Here is my first WIP photos, and I even got some orange on a gobo:

Rats! Need highlighting / dry brushing and nasty red eyes, then onto the goblins:

That's an interesting take on the rats. Having the fur line stop near the faces.

Lol. Just googled images of rats. I may have had a reality issue. I thought they looked weird after I painted them but couldn't put my finger on it!
