Here Be Goblins (More Orcs and Goblins)

While the new edition of 40K is looming closer, I wanted share some more of the Orcs and Goblins that spent most of the last year working on.
First off, goblins are pretty awesome in the lore of Warhammer Fantasy. They are mean, vile, aggressive, and completely nutty!  These spider riders were awesome to prepare and easy to paint up. I could see myself making a full goblin army (one day... in the far future perhaps!)
The purple and orange colors carried over nicely to these units. The purple on the spiders shows nicely and the orange tops gives some contrast.

I've always loved Goblin Fantatics. Its like giving your ADD youngster a kilo of coke and a machine gun. These dudes are wild and crazy and love playing against them. To be honest, these were some of my favorite models to paint up. 

Night Goblins are standard, effective, and the back bone to a goblin army. While I'd like a bit more variation in the models, they assembled easily and painted up nicely. The banner is just completely full of awesomeness. What more can I say about the goblins without getting cheesy?!?

From the Workbench...

I present to you Abrihim von Hammerschpeilt:



First off, using some of the techniques learned from this years Adepticon, I created a few bases made from Sculpey, which is a cheap oven baked clay. Once prepped and baked, I simply attached it to a base and carved out some stones for my Mordheim priest. If you want, I'll present a further tutorial sometime.



My thanks to the Wappel's, for being simply awesome in showing us this simple and cheap way to create a base. You guys rock!!

Lastly I attached my Warrior Priest to the base and viola. Probably my coolest base and model to date, and best of all no sand, no headache with glueing crap to the base. That being said, the base would probably benefit from some static grass or other 'old' looking stuff.

I took Jason's idea for naming my figure and I now present to you: Abrihim von Hammerschpeilt- defender of the Empire, Priest to all Warpstone Hunters, and Slayer of the Dark.





I am still working on my Vendettas.. and I bought some oil paints today in preparation for doing some weathering. More updates and possible epic failure to come.......
