Night Goblins and Squig Gobba!

Squig Gobba

Got my hands on a squig gobba and couldn't pass it up.  So I have hand made several mushrooms and started off with a raised cork base.  The gobba has a split skin tone and 2-3 layers of highlights with 3 layers of washes.

 

Another one of my summer projects and a few more to throw in.  Picked up a Colossal Squig and another pair of Mangler Squigs - Can't wait to put together and paint but first comes a commission display board i'll post in a few weeks.

The spit is actually covered and layered with the GW specialty ooze paint in several layers.  Looks good enough to be a snotty spit to me.

Started and finished another 80+ BFSP night goblins bringing my horde numbers above 250+

Up close they each have raised bases and 2 layers of paint plus 1 highlight

Orcs and Goblins: Night Goblin Spearmen

These are some before and after pictures of NG spearmen I have spruced them up a bit.  Adding a new wash, touching up leather on their shoes and straps.  Additionally adding a 50% raised cork base for the back of the unit, and re-highlighting weapons after washing them black.  Furthermore, I also painted the underside of cloaks bone white, washed devlon mudd, and then rehighlighted again.  The last addition was more and brighter mushrooms which have tripled in the unit of 72(which was only 65 before).  Enjoy the final pictures below.

Orcs and Goblins

These are some Night Goblins i have had and used for Adepticon.  The original unit of 40 only had standard GW bases and I have since worked on 42 more NGs with raised bases, 1/4 inch cork.  The cloaks are rehighlighted with more grey, love me some grey, and the red was added to the hood so the unit has some type of universal marking.  3 fanatics also fit into this scheme if they are needed.

Acon Prep and War Altar Wrap-up

Been working on more Acon projects and played a game with my Night Goblins. First got the War Altar assembled and now finishing the base. I won't paint this piece but it has been more of a challenge to pin and glue 1 piece at a time. The large bird is a heavy metal single piece which is easy to handle but heavy to glue.

Played a practice game today against a local here in town. Ryan, who was featured on the Waaaghcast Podcast for several episodes, has since sold his Wood Elves and picked up High Elves and Bretonnians. His Brets, played at 1,000 pts and did pretty well against me. He had a solid unit get blown away fanatics, mangler, and magic but the other 2 units made waste of warmachines and chariots. He did have to scatter deploy in our Battleline scenario but that was because I out deployed him. My own doom diver was destroyed by his own trebs and the rock lobber destroyed itself. His trebs then scoured my 60 man horde of night goblins with characters to 21, but after making re-rollable panic checks I charged him and we stood in combat at the end of the game, turn 5. We may have enough time for turn 6 but it was about 5 min over our time limit anyway. He had killed my doom diver, rock lobber, 2 chariots, and magic user who failed 2 LOS from his trebs. In return I killed 316 points one knight errant unit and 1 magic user. I was happy with the list and am considering it next week for Adepticon.

Lastly completed the assembly of the ToS and primed them. As you can see it was plenty of building to spruce up a 2nd building that had a terrible 2nd floor, and at the price of the tower who can blame me?
