Title: Night Goblins conversion
Post by: hetairoi on 23 March 2015, 01:41:22 PM
I want to post some pictures of the night orc/goblin conversions I presented in the competition:

I used Night Orcs figures as basis. At first I only thought about add the nose and enlarge the hood... but I ended up making also weapons, shields and a banner.

The figures are actually a little big to be 15mm night goblins, but as I will use them along with figures Demonworld (Ral Partha), which are actually 18mm, it is barely noticeable. In the picture you can see the comparison with two Ral Partha human figures and a 15mm.co.uk ogre (wich is very big, even compared with Ral Partha).

Cheers!

Great stuff, Hetairoi!  Its nice to see conversions before paint has been applied.  Don't know what it is, but there is something about the archer's nose that emphasizes his grumpy expression, and I love it!

I take it the chick pea is only a part of the master figure? I ask because I had a sad experience with a set of sandbag barricades I made from black Mexican beans. I microwaved them at length first, then soused them in insecticide, covered them in multiple undercoats of glossy primer, varnished four times after painting, and watched them crumple like deflating balloons over the next two months as the weevils munched their way out like a coleopterous remake of John Hurt's big scene in Alien.

The great post-Armageddon showdown will be between the ants, the weevils, and the cockroaches. And maybe people who like rock music and neglect apostrophes.

Weevils are impossible to knock down and kill because weevils wobble but they don't fall down

Weevil Knievel did, he broke 97 bones in one jump!
