Hobgoblin Band (03040)

[Mierot]

Several years ago (six?, I cannot remember) I started painting this trio of hobgoblins. It was early in my painting years, anyway. Some of my first metals beyond the metals learning to paint kit. I painted up the two shield holders and promptly put the third aside. I just couldn't handle the idea of having to put a mini together! I was completely at a loss of how to accomplish it. The two painted hobgoblins appeared in-game a few times, while the third holed up in their lair awaiting his day.

 

Fast forward to now. They are finished! I wrapped up the third hobgoblin in a couple painting hours, with maybe 30 minutes of prep time. What a difference a few years makes when handling a mini. 

 

 

 

The shield-bearing hobgoblins were painted using RMS metallic paints. I used Scale75 metallics for the third.

 

Thanks for looking!

Nice group!

They look like adventurers rather than a group of wild hobgoblins that you'd run across. Good job!

[EvilJames]

Yeah back in the day, I was totally confused about mini assembly as well. Didn't even know where to begin. Now I don't bat an eye.

 

They look great. I've been meaning to pick up that trio as well someday.

They look really good! Yeah, they seem like a trio of adventurers to me too

Fantastic set of minis!

I was a little confused when I clicked on this, I was expecting hobgoblins with drums and guitars.

 

Very nice progression over the years.

So was I, actually. At least they're metal.

 

Awesome job, got to give you props on the awesome painting. Hobgobs are some of my favourites.

Hmm...that would be a really interesting conversion project. 

[Chaoswolf]

Very nicely painted!

 

Congrats on the level up, too.
