Here we go then - a few images and work to share.
In my last post I mentioned that I've planned a pretty sizeable addition to my current Orcs & Goblins force, so here's a few things that I've picked up over the past 6 months or so...
After tallying up my remaining night goblins I have left to paint and buying these new additions, I've planned to expand the Night Goblin infantry by 150, which will be 50 spears, 50 short bows and 50 hand weapons (plus fanatics, etc.). I just love the new sculpts and had to get some to make awesome fun fillers for my NG units.
I also picked up these bits:
The Warhammer Underworlds Zarbag's Gitz warband is a mini goldmine of unique night goblins to add - the old Skull Pass minis and even the current NGs are a bit mundane but great for fleshing out the numbers, so a bit of variety from this set is a welcome addition. The battle wagon upgrade pack? You might be able to guess why I've bought that and what I plan to make with it :D
And so here my first offering for this sizeable project - 7 night goblins armed with short bows including a mini filler. NG Filler #9: Dibbz. The batch also includes Redkap and Stikkit from Underworlds.
The champ is a mash of night goblin and hopper parts and the musician has a hopper weapon. All the other guys are vanilla. Here they are finished...
I wanted to get to work on the Gitz set pretty early on, the minis have so much character. 43 to go for these guys.
Below is my next filler I'm working on: NG Filler #10 - Fanatic Two...
I managed to score a good deal on old school regiment bases. I wanted a bunch of these so I can play around with basing fillers on something other than 20x40mm and 40mm squared bases. The idea is to disrupt the uniform appearance they'd have being all based on single bases.
The new fanatics are also an excellent kit that I wanted to dive into. I've currently assembled a few as standard fanatics and kept a few for fillers.
Lastly, I have completed the crew for my converted Snotling Pump Wagon:
I was pleased with how the wagon turned out when I finished it last year, but it just looked bare without the crew. Adding them has completely changed its appearance.
Some more shots:
The shots aren't great but you get the idea of what it looks like.
Thanks for looking guys, more stuff coming soon :)
