On the sixteenth day of Advent the WoffBoot brought to me ... a door with a lovely set of knockers.

Feel free to play the Benny Hill theme in your head. |
But these are no ordinary balls. These balls have Night Goblins on the end of them.
These are the first of the 7th Ed (teeny-weenie) Night Goblins that I've owned. I picked up the set cheap, on the basis that you really can't ever have enough swinging balls.

Boom-tish! |
Aside from the neglected bases, the paint job was a decent one. Unfortunately, not my style (I've never taken to this new-fangled layer highlighting - give me an ink and drybrush every time).
And so the wee swingers were repainted in the house style, although I was able to utilise the existing paint scheme to my advantage: throwing Brown Ink over the highlighted ropes, and Black Ink over the silver balls, before adding my own colours.

I don't know why he has a mask. Maybe it's a secret identity? |
As always, every metal surface got covered in Typhus Corrosion,then highlighted with Reza Rust. Gork help me if I ever have to paint something shiny like knights - the only metal I can do is the deeply rusted.

Spot the centre of gravity. |
Even composed entirely of plastic, these models suffer the usual Fanatic issue of overbalancing. And so they got the usual Fanatic solution of tuppences stuck to their bottoms.

WILSON! |
I like having more variety in the Fanatics, but I'm not a huge fan of these. Without the 'big face' 5th Ed Night Goblins, there doesn't seem to be much in the model to work with. I can imagine painting a whole unit of Skull Pass goblins could get quite dull.
These are for the
Night Goblin spears I painted last year, so they have the simplest of all paint schemes with the black robes.
I actually never finished that unit with a unit filler - ah well, maybe Santa will be kind...
Well hung, sir.
