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 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 :)

Battles in the Deeps; Part Ten - 650 Points of Goblins

Something a little different for today - pictures of my in progress Moria army. It currently stands at 652 Points (702 if I give the Dragon Tough Hide), although I need more Heroes if I want to use with the new rules - two more at least. Don't forget to click on the pictures to see the full size versions!

Battles in the Deeps; Part Nine - More Goblins

Some more Goblins from me. I've gone for a blue-grey skin tone on these, instead of having hordes with just several shades of green skin. I really like it, and I think it works well in a subterranean environment.

Stay tuned for an army shot!

Battles in the Deeps; Part Six - First Underground Lake

My second piece of Moria terrain, an underground lake. I made it from a Rider of Rohan box, flocked the outside and then painted on the water, which was then gloss varnished (I don't have water effects). I basecoated the water with Caliban Green, washed the shallow/outside areas with The Fang, and washed the deep/inside areas with Rhinox Hide.

Battles in the Deep; Part Four - First Dwarf Mine Working

Here is my first piece of Moria terrain, inspired by Feanor's Dwarf Mines on TLA (and only my second terrain piece, the first being a small set of ruins). The main frame is made from spare pieces of sprue, glued together, with Green Stuff wrapped around the different pieces to look like rope. The wooden boards were made from pieces of card, strengthen with PVA glue, and the ladders were made from wooden skewers, cut down to the right size; the ladders and boards are detachable.

Everything was then painted with Rhinox Hide, and a wood grain pattern was painted on the ladders and main structure with Steel Legion Drab, with the wooden being washed with Steel Legion Drab instead. Six models can fit comfortably on the mine working, with two on the top layer, and four on the bottom; I hope to make many more of these.
