| They go faster |
Rather than continue painting my budding fanfic piece, 'Fifty Shades of Green', I've decided to break the mould and crank out a full spectrum of goblins. Blue and yellow yet to do, with maybe a pink one and an albino one in there somewhere. And turquoise. There will be turquoise.

The end is now in sight for the goblin hoard. There's more paint than plastic in the box now, which feels good. Only if I don't count the huge sheets of scenery, of course, which are as dull and fiddly to paint as you'd expect large expanses of wood speckled with tiny bones to be.
Five goblins bring me to the obligatory dwarves. Weirdly, I'm actually starting to find them more of a drudge than the gobboes - they're demmed fiddly when you get down to them. And of course they keep reminding me of the film *twitch*.

Persevere with the goblins - you're creating a great palette, and when you're done, you'll never want for random, expendable underlings again.
ReplyDeleteThat Dwarf with the slingshot was Ori, if memory serves. Certainly among the top three most annoying of Thorin's Company, with scant consolation that he ends up getting eaten by a giant octopus outside Moria.
I don't think I've ever struggled for expendable underlings, in all honesty, esp. with the 45 marauders I've got as well! But it will be good to have a fully painted set.
DeleteOri it is. He deserves that haircut.
