Orcs & Goblins, Squigs and Herders

Painted these a few months ago, maybe longer. I think they’re coming out a little more purple in the photo than they really are, the squigs that is, and the highlights on the goblins don’t really show, a pity really as thats probably the best aspect. I mixed a little yellow in with the green which I’ve seen others do and it really sets the model off. At least it works quite well on the comical goblins.

Also painted up is “the chase” a vignette of three models chasing each other.

All the squigs and herders were resin. This was my first foray into Games Workshop resin. The detail is great however the bubbles and mould lines were pretty disappointing. The mould lines were difficult to remove but the bubbles in the fine details are even more difficult to rectify. I guess it’s what you should suspect with resin but it’s quite frustrating when you pay the kind of money GW ask.

Glade Lord on Great Stag

Another model purchased by my wife for me for our tenth wedding anniversary. An expensive model so I was a bit apprehensive about painting it. But having just had our fifteenth wedding anniversary I was feeling a bit guilty that it was still sitting in the cupboard.

Growing up a lot in Southland and close to deer farms I have to say the stag looks a little ‘fantastical’?, but having seen what they did with the wild riders and sisters of the thorn mounts perhaps it’s for the best. As you can see from the pictures I did a little freehand on the cloak (copied MIG off coolminiornot), very pleased as the lord needed something, he’s not my favourite model but the freehand made him a bit more interesting. Also did some non metalic metal on the spear and sword strapped to the side of the stag. It’s not great and somewhat undermined by the real metalic gold on the various hilts etc but it’s my first try. Blended some ‘magical’ blue stuff onto the primary weapons (photo chops off the white tip on the sword, oops). Replaced the dinky stone aged spear he was carrying with a majestic lance which looks great but I can see it’s probably going to break at some point, it already bent at the join I made to the old spear, bent it back but the join is now less seamless than it used to be. Also used the GW technical paint Agrellan Earth on the creek bed, you can’t really see in the photo but it’s all cracked up like baked clay.

Spellweaver

My wife bought be this figure for I think my tenth wedding anniversary. We just celerbrated our fifteenth wedding anniversary the other day. So was probably time I painted it. Went with the Games Workshop colour scheme. Don’t normally paint blues but liked the idea. Didn’t highlight up quite as much as the ‘evy metal team (or whatever the GW inhouse painters call themselves these days. Pretty happy with it and useful to have another foot mage in the army. First use of grass tufts (army painter brand) and really like them.
