NEW VIDEO - Goblins move in the shadows of the Hero's Quest....

Greetings!
Here's hoping you're having a serene Good Friday, wherever that may be
Me, I had a few friends over for fish and pasta and wine and a relaxed afternoon in the sun
I'm WAAAY too full in fact and very grateful. So much so that what I did was re-organized my games room (it's not done yet, so no pics...) and ventured back through my projects to do up 6 HQ Goblins

For those like me who like videos running in the background while you paint (tutorials, movies, how to, historical bios and such...) I've made a little video of the progress thus far which you can find here.


 Started off as usual with a black undercoat. In the back the palette I'm going to use (16 colours total)


First the Goblins were given a dark skin colour base


 I tried to keep them distinguishable (so players can ID them by the blue one, the yellow one, the purple one and so forth...)


My missus chose to do a few pics of the artiste at work...LOL!


I also touched up the mummies

They were given some nice highlights all round


And here is a selection of close ups after the eyes were done and smudges and the like touched up.



They're still missing the belt buckles, jewel effects on the hilts of the weapons, various blood and mud smudges and washes here and there.


How I've decided to run this though is to get all the miniatures from the set "table ready" then do all the bases at once and those touch ups you always invariably miss while giving them the first once over.

That's it for tonight, thank you for reading. I'm off to play some Medieval II and get my bottom wipped once more!
Have a great Easter
S.
