I have completed the first unit of Sand Goblins.

That is 80pts, 20 Sand Goblins including Command.




I have another 40 on the painting table, about 60% complete.

Shed open for Painting

I think I'll keep working on my war altar. But I also have to do a Captain on Peg and some odd troops.

Painting Challenge - Celtic Ogre Army

Celtic Ogre Army

My intention is to create an Ogre Army for Warhammer Fantasy Battles based upon a Celtic Theme.

So far my thinking is:

Overall Feel:

Celtic painting style, long swords and 2 handed swords, woad and some chainmail. Clothes are stripes and tartans. Asterix & Obelix style hair and beards. Belly plates removed and converted to large bellies, except for armoured figures which will be scraped back and have Celtic designs engraved. Iron shod boots converted to soft boots. Trousers converted to full length with string tied bottoms. Armour will be chainmail and Celtic shields as greaves, etc. Boar or Wolves as Standards

Bases will be Celtic flagstones with a small covering of leaves. Forrest bases will include vines and animals.

LORDS:
Tyrant Warlord:	Figure included in a unit based on 2 shield bearers. Magnet feet to allow removal and use as a single figure.
Slaughter Master Draoiocht:	Ogre Bull with a cloak of leaves and Staff, based upon a rock alter. (pronounced [ˈ'driː.oxt]: meaning “Magic”)
