Thanks :) I am not sure if I should base them with only ogres or maybe paint up a few gobbos, squigs and such to base them with for a bit more diversity?

Very nice.  The 'diversity' idea sounds like a good one.

Back from Con I just had to do a test-scheme for my Night Gobbos. I am pretty pleased with the results so these will be used later when I actually decide to paint all those little buggers...

Will do a few more of these single mini's and base them together with my Ogres ^_^

Wow- I'll be amazed if you can paint full goblin units to that standard without going mad!

The goblins look really good.  Look forward to seeing the final, based ensemble.

Wow :) thanks everyone ^_^
And yes Geep - these will probably put me right at the brink of madness ;)

I think the way to do it will be to focus on painting other stuff but once in a while paint a strip or two of gobbo's. Should help keep me sane. A little while longer anyways ^^

Wow that is amazing level of detail on what, say a 7mm lump of metal. Your warmaster gobbos are better painted than my 28mm GW ones. I need to have good hard look at my painting. Inspirational stuff though - you must have 20/20 vision right? Truly awesome stuff!

cheers

With my glasses on yes ;) thank you all again for all the kind words!

I find it much easier to get good results on 10mm than 28mm. It's easier to cheat, or the cheating at least looks better in this scale?

I based these white, then washed it all with nuln oil bringing out all the little details so it's easier to see whats what. I did the yellow first and then the reds. These can be done a bit sloppy as long as I take care not getting anything on the skinareas. I create the shapes of the yellow when putting on black. The skin is done with a watered down light green. The shading from the nuln oil shines through so I get a highlight effect for free. I make sure to not get any colour on the teeth. The last step is to wash it all with armypainter dip and that creates the final effect. I use Vallejo Charcoal as black so there is a slight darkening of that too from the dip.

So basically it's not much technique other than a steady hand. But at this scale the results are very nice indeed :) I have tried this at 28mm too (my blood bowl team in this thread) but at that scales armypainter dip tends to look more dirty and/or sloppy...

I dont have anything new to show for my OnG's - busy with family and the gaming club. Just wanted to put it out there that this style of painting Warmastermini's is really nice!



Next army I paint I will try to do in this technique. Question is what army that should be?! It's really a far away in the future kinda question since I still have way to much OnG's to paint ;)
