WHFB: Night Goblin Bowgobbo Champions

Two of the champions in the bow goblins posted a month ago always left me unsatisfied. They don't have bows. So these two replace the offending goblins, freeing them up for better things. One will become a Squig Herder, the other a Boss Goblin.

WHFB: Night Goblin Squig Hoppers

Cause the only thing better than herding a bunch of psychotic pit bull-like creatures into battle ... is riding one into battle.

WHFB: Night Goblin Squig Herd #2

Even more Squigs! How can you go wrong with 2 legs and a mouth full of teeth!

WHFB: Night Goblin Squig Herd #1

Here come the Squigs!

WHFB: Night Goblin Swordgobbos

Happy Halloween!

The last of the core gobbos. A unit of 20 gobbos with hand weapons, shields & nets. In addition, pictured is 7 more fanatics, 1 night goblin warboss, 1 night goblin shaman,  and 12 "half" base unit fillers. I made the unit fillers to allow myself to offset the archer goblins since then they would rank up better. Although they look good in the other units as well. They make the units look less uniform, which is good for undisciplined Gobbos. Although they are a smidge wider than 1/2 a base width and I should have trimmed them a bit more (something to keep in mind if I ever make more).

Sorry about the background for the picture, not sure what I was thinking...

WHFB: Night Goblin Bowgobbos

Another 3 units of bow armed goblins. Each has a full command and a complete unwillingness to get too close to the enemy.

WHFB: Night Goblin Speargobbos

The first unit. The command group from the previous post goes in this unit. 50 gobbos armed with shields, spears and nets along with 2 fanatics. Most of these are from Battle for Skull Pass, although a few are from the Night Goblin Regiment box set. The fanatics are old Kev Adam sculpts.

WHFB: Night Goblin Command Models

The first three Night Goblins I painted. A command group. This was a test of my formula and color schemes.

Lazy About Updates (and Other Random Thoughts)

Sorry about the text only post.

I've been a bit lazy about updates. Mostly I stop by here to update formulas and/or to refresh my memory on how I've painted things in the past. So the blog is still getting "use" in that regard.

I also noticed that I've had a few visitors which found it via Google search. That's cool! It seems that the post on my Flamespyre Pheonix conversion seems to be the most popular. It's a fun conversion. I should get some newer photos up of it (the conversion is effectively done).

I'm still working my way through the Night Goblins. The project expanded from a 1,200 pt army to something more (about 2,400+ pts). I need to develop more self control. It didn't help that I found another 60+ of the little buggers that I forgot I had after I had started the project.

I'll post pictures of my current progress in the next few weeks.

Formula Updates

Been a little bad with updates lately. Real life tends to get in the way with painting little toys!

This doesn't mean I haven't been doing any painting, although it did slow down for a month or so. To track that, I've added/updated the formula pages.

Even with my slacking, time marched on and the New Year came. So it's time for resolutions (... in February). My resolution for this year is to finish outstanding projects. The big ones:

1. Beastmen - I have a large number of Beastmen models that need to be flocked and some coats of Testor's glosscoat/dullcoat.
2. High Elf - I still have a few models to assemble for my high elf army.
3. Wood Elf - Finish the flocking and overcoat the tree army.
4. Dreadfleet - Started painting Dreadfleet awhile back, I'd like to finish that.
5. Night Goblins - Assemble and Paint 1200 pts of the little guys.
6. Lucius - Assemble and paint a Malifaux Lucius Crew
7. Rasputina - Assemble and paint a Malifaux Rasputina Crew
8. Terrain - I'd like to do some more terrain.

Extra Credit:

1. Space Hulk - I would just like to get my Space Hulk game painted.
2. High Elf - After assembling them, I should paint them (my kids want to help with this).
3. Other Malifaux Crews - I would like a Collidi and Collette Crew.
