Sand Goblins - 3 Units Complete

Three units of Sand Goblins completed, 2 of Spearmen and 1 of Archers. Total of 60 figures.

They were painted and varnished with Army Painter Soft Shade. They are based but require a spray with matt vanish to dull them down.

Minor Update

Just a minor update, the painting table has been busy and getting closer to spitting out a few more completed units.

Painted and Varnished:
- Sand Goblins - 20 Spear and Shield, full command.
- Sand Goblins - 20 Bow, full command.

Painted:
- Minas Tirith Warriors - 2 Companies, hand weapons, shield.
- Minas Tirith Warriors - 1 Company, bow & hand weapons.
- Minas Tirith Standard Bearer.
- Minas Tirith Knights - 3 Companies, lance, shield.

Rob and I also got in our first run at the WOTR rules using unpainted figures to start learning the rules. 250pt each. Overall , big thumbs up - Simple to learn, fast moving and lots of dead things.

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.

Sand Goblins - Test Figures

I have completed 2 test figures and have done 3/4 of the block painting on the rest of the unit (20 figures inc Command)


This is the basic block painted figure.


The figure on the left has a wash of Devlan Mud on the cloths, followed by a highlight of Iyanden Darksun.

The figure on the right got a wash with Army Painter Soft Tone. It is shiny but well protected and still needs a spray of matt varnish.

I am impressed by the protection the Army painter system provides the figures. While the Standard approach gives more depth and a ragged look, I prefer the colour of the Army Painted figure. I still think I am wiping off too much of the wash when I apply it. No dout I will improve with use.

So the Army Painter method it is for Sand Goblins.

Goblin Preparation - Part 2

I managed to get home early tonight and get the Goblins undercoated.

WHITE!!! All 62 of them.

Not Black, as they will not be Night Goblins but Sand Goblins.

Tomorrow we start with the test figures.

Goblins Prepared for Painting

Over the weekend I have managed to get the 60 Goblins from the "Battle for Skull Pass" set clipped off the sprue and cleaned off all the molding lines.

This is the the start of a Orc and Goblin Army, which will be predominately goblin based. Lots of low value troops screaming across the battlefield, in both attack or retreat.
