Mlkr's plog and misc.

[Bel]

Decided to paint them + Trolls from Polar Fox

Don't forget to insert the 'vomit' peace into the mouth of appropriate troll 

[mlkr]

Will certainly do ^^ 1-2 trolls will probably be put as bodyguards for characters. Maybe the pukong one

So, I started on the night goblins - cleaned about 9 units from flash and pondered how to paint them and such. While doing this I noticed it would be possible to split some strips in half without cutting into any gobbos! Why would I do this you ask? For greater variation of looks in the units also - since these will take some time to finish I might as well go all out

You can actuallly cut all variations of strips in half. I think it's only one strip where I had to cut a bow a bit short but it wont be noticed. So my plan is to cut about half or 2/3 of my strips and then mix and match them together. Hopefully creating a more chaotic look to the units when they are done

Pictures attached. First is the regular look (but already split) and second and third are mixed. More combinations possible

Neat idea. I may consider this when I get back around to painting my goblins.

If you want to increase the variation of your units even more, you can add single miniatures from other units. As an example: I removed two saurus warriors from a stripe and placed a single kroxigor on their spot. You could do a similar thing by replacing some goblins with a troll. Or maybe a goblin on a wolf? Or adding some goblin characters to a front rank of a unit? For my orc and goblin army I am thinking of adding some of the rare spider riders to some goblin units.

Cant wait to see your goblin horde

Sounds good to me, I can't wait to see what it becomes!  "Do it up!"

This is an excellent idea! I was thinking I could maybe use half a strip on a characterstand but adding a little bit of everything to the gobbos on a larger scale would be really cool ^_^

The gobbos will take a long time to get done though. Will try out painting on black undercoat on the gobbos that I have for my rocklobbas but I am more fond of white undercoat so we will see...

Waiting for some paints and sprays thats in the mail so that I can base my trolls.

Picture - Polar Fox Trolls getting the treatment and 3 rocklobbas getting some paint on them.

Here we go.

[mlkr]

Setback! Made some mistakes while painting my rocklobbas. The yellow one went and took a bath because I glued the "hand" on wrong and therefore some details went upside down when assembled. I failed in another way on the other two lobbas. As of now both right-side pieces are painted red and both left are painted brown... So when assembled both lobbers are brown/red... It works, so I might keep it because I can't be bothered. Pictures to come.

[mlkr]

Forgot to add pictures when I took them but here they are. I will probably keep them as is just because of the hassle to strip them.

[Geep]

Do you even need to strip them? You can paint around the metal- is there much detail on the wood that may be lost?

[mlkr]

hmmm, maybe not - I painted them with diluted paint over white, so there is a lot of shading not shown in my pictures that will probably need some work.. Will think about it.

[Zorcon]

Love the BB pitch!

[mlkr]

Just a quick update on tonights work. Polar Fox-trolls will be joining their GW-brethren on the bases. Not quite done but almost! Hopefully dipped tomorrow and based the day after that. Ready just in time for a 10 person tournament on Thursday!

These sculpts are really good and will tie in well with what I already have painted. I decided to paint the cloth tied around their arms and legs like metal sincethe GW-sculpts have this. Thinking about adding some squigs to some of the bases for a colourfull presence on the table.

More updates to come. Enjoy!
