The Goblin King

I've had the Goblin King painted for a while, just never got round to posting him. I painted him to match the pale skinned Goblins, although I think at the time I got fed up with painting the skulls on the staff thing. I plan on adding some yellow grass to all of my Goblins and Dwarves at some point as well.

Goblins and Grinnah

The second batch of Goblins has been painted since the end of January, I just never got round to posting them. I opted for a darker skin tone with these Goblins, which leaves me with the Goblin Scribe left to paint and the Goblin King needs his base finished - and when they're done I'll post a group shot.

Goblins and Tiny Captain

As I received Escape From Goblin Town for Christmas, I thought I'd make a start and get my first batch of Goblins out of the way, 18 Goblins and the Tiny Captain. I chose not to opt for the colours shown in the film or by Games Workshop, but instead went for a pale green. The second batch will have a different skin tone to provide variety.

Battles in the Deeps; Part Fourteen - The Goblin Army

My army of Moria, as it currently stands. 52 Goblins (including the Prowlers), 12 Wild Wargs, Durburz, Groblog, the Dragon, the Spider Queen, a Cave Troll and a Wild Warg Chieftain. In total this comes to 1115 Points.

So what's next? Well for my Moria army, I still need to paint up a Cave Troll, 2 Shamans, a Captain, and around 30 more Moria Goblins. I've also got Escape from Goblin Town, so will be working on that as I finish my Moria army, and I'm also starting work on my next army, so stay tuned for updates.

Battles in the Deeps; Part Thirteen - Wild Warg Pack

Some more beasts for my army; a Wild Warg Chieftain converted from a plastic Warg, and 12 Wild Wargs. To make the chieftain, I cut off the Wargs head and cut its body in half, repositioning it slightly so it looks like  Games Workshop's Wild Warg Chieftain (without the dead body on the base), and used Green Stuff for the rock and hiding the large gaps in its side. The Wild Wargs are just the standard Wargs with their body halves mixed and matched for as much variety as possible, with four different colours of Warg; dark brown, light brown, dark grey, and light grey. I plan on getting more Wargs, and adding more of each colour.

Battles in the Deeps; Part Twelve - Spider Queen and Swarms

So as I continue to blast through my Goblins, I decided to paint up the beasts part of my army - starting with the Spider Queen and Swarms. The colour scheme for the spider queen was based on this image. I look forwards to using her on the table!

I'd also like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone for your support! And a happy first birthday to my blog!

Battles in the Deeps; Part Eleven - Groblog, Prowlers and Goblin Archers

Another Goblin update from me, slowly getting through the rest of them (about half way through) and I can't wait to get more of the monsters done! Whilst I'm not particularly fond of the Groblog's crown, I do like the model overall, and I really like the prowler models, really enjoyable to paint :)

Troll Trio and Warband

"You are soldier's of Gondor! No matter what comes from that gate, you will stand your ground!"

I've finished my Warband for the One Ring Painting Challenge, a Mordor Troll Chieftain, 2 Mordor Trolls, an Orc Banner Bearer, and 8 Mordor Orcs. I look forward to using these in battle (the Trolls at least). One is quite heavily converted, as I had previously converted the hammer, and lost the spikes for the helmets, so a green stuff armour plate was added over the top, as well as a Green Stuff hammer.
