Picked my latest army up from the sorting office last night and looking forwatd to starting them soon.
Good choice! 8)
Look forward to seeing them, Nosher.

Severe Superglue Headache....
Two Goblin Armies based up ready for undercoating and then fine grit sanding of the base. The weathers dull but I might get away with undercoating these today and if I do would also hope to get the bases gritted ready for painting.

I have yet to decide on a theme for the armies. I'm thinking traditional Goblin for one army whilst aiming for an Uruk-Hai inspired theme for the second army with dark red skins and white hand of Saruman face tatoos.
I'm also running one of the goblin armies without a Shaman (the traditional scheme) although I will probably end up purchasing a second shaman group as I feel they'll be quite brittle without one.
The Uruk-hai inspired army has a more militarised feel to it with units of shieldwall troops.
Like the ideas, Nosher ! :)

Managed to get further than expected yesterday and found time to experiment with a scheme for the Uruk Hai White Hand of Saruman scheme.

Nice work Nosher! :)
Nice, if you like that sort of thing ;)
Perhaps a brown was to tone down the red a bit :-\
Like 'em ! 8)
Cheers - Phil
They look brilliant to me.
Brilliant - love 'em
I really like those, the red skin works well for me and the white hand print is a nice contrast.

That was meant to be a brown

Making good progress today on the Uruk-Hai inspired warband. All of the units now have the skin tones done. Lots still to do but already the army is coming neatly together.
Nosher.
It WAS you that said you weren't into fantasy, up until a short while ago......wasn't it ? :-\
Good on you, Matey.

Two units of archers, a giant crossbow unit, a unit of bolt shooters and a Giant/Troll stand finished today.
The Chieftain, Shaman, three units of shieldwall and two of wolf riders finished today.
I'm not entirely happy with these :( Although the red skin/white hand theme seems to work they somehow look untidy which is probably a good thing for Goblins..... I am hoping that tidying up the bases and adding clump foliage will lift these a bit.
I think it maybe down to painting units in bulk. When I did a stand at a time the finish somehow comes out neater. It could be that or it could be painting after night shifts. Not sure which. :-\
Hope to get some photos up before the end of the weekend ;)
I find painting a unit at a time the best way to go. Otherwise I get bored and try to rush through them
