This week I have mostly been painting.....

[mrtn]

Great work mate, Nagash is awesome and it's good to see you back to painting rank and file as well.

[Lorcryst]

*remembers about the cushion*

Yep, as I thought, rank and files are getting better too ...

You've made some great progress since I last checked your log Harry. Your Nagash looks great, really given that model a new lease of unlife! The base is pure epic win and the accident with the zombie hand really adds to it, he truly is that evilest of evil baddies treating his minions like dirt!
I was particularly impressed by your WIP on the Chaos Ogre though, the flesh tones so far are looking really good and it's a truly epic mini. The moment I saw it I instantly thought of resurrecting my chaos army! Can't wait to see him finished!

[Harry]

Thanks very much.
The Ogre is coming along. I have done some more metals and started on his stripy trousers. I'll get some more pictures up soon.

The start of this years Tale of Painters has got me painting again. (Keeping my enthusiasm going is the tricky bit )

Thanks ... and thanks for remembering the cushion ... I do worry about you.

[Harry]

Meanwhile back to the rank and file. Here are the goblins all finished. bases done with static grass. "Red Blade" Standard done.







They have a cave troll!!!!

(Another accident. This guy was sitting on my painting table from my other thread of vintage models and I realised on a 40 mm base, done exactly the same way as these guys he could fit right in ... and I like him as a unit filler. Also as I had accidentally done 21 goblins rather than 20 he makes them up nicely to a block of 25. )

Harry,

the Nagash model caused my jaw to bruise on the down side. Excellent stuff. Nice conversions of the standard bearer and musician in the 4th ed starter goblins.

[Harry]

This made me realise I have not updated this plog (My log of everything I paint with the most recent additions to my other log "A blast from the past" (where I am working my way very slowly through some of citadels early miniatures). So here are the last few minis I have painted.

So here is a closer look at the Troll.





I have also painted a Ghost.



A Drunk.





and a Couple of Dwarves. (Who still need work!!!)



For more information about these old minis please check out my other log.

Thanks. You need to borrow Lorcryst's cushion.
They were the simplest of conversions, plastic makes life very easy, but this and a more neutral (less red!) colour scheme and the basing does help bring a unit, which predated command groups, up to date.

Also as I had accidentally done 21 goblins rather than 20 (...)

Only you can "accidentally" paint more models than planned. Looking great, Harry! I really like this guy as a unit filler as well.

However, I don't like Nagash. He's creepy...

As always, it is a true pleasure looking at your work. Great job!

Cheers,
Monsterzonk

[Lorcryst]

I already follow your "oldies" plog, so I knew the troll, but seeing him with the unit seals the deal : truly a great looking unit (much better than my own attempts I might add )

[Dino]

Looking nice. Really find the dwarves with the swords. Unit of goblins look rather nice as well.

He seems to fit very well there considering there is about 10 years between these sculpts.

Really find the dwarves with the swords ... what?

[Harry]

Finished Toad ... completely finished now. (Well except the rider)

[Harry]

And the Troll:

[Kaos]

Toad looks allright but i would personally want some more shine on it. It looks dry for a slimey aquatic nurgle toad! Or is there gloss on it that does not show in the picture?

That troll kicks ass, great conversion!

Cheers Kaos

Its a good point. I will experiment with a slightly wetter look.

That troll kicks ass, great conversion!

Thanks but not my work. I picked him up off ebay already converted ... but i shall do a couple more to match.

[Dino]

Sorry Harry half awake when I posted that. Meant to say I really liked them. Toad looks sweet. Is it just gonna have the plague bearer as it's rider or did you have something interesting in mind? Troll looks nice as well.

[rob_alderman]

That troll looksvery, very familiar!

I hope you haven't repainted the original conversions that featured all the time! :P

Great stuff mate. The goblins look very striking.

[Sir_Glonojad]

I also like Toady, yet the idea to make it more shiny (or slimy?) does seem nice.

[silverstu]

Toady looks suitably pustulant - definitely wouldn't fancy picking that up! Looks ace. Nice troll too- love the green skintones. The troll in the gobbo unit is great- excellent unit of the little green fellas- very "pointy" .
Great to see you back on a roll painting wise- long may it continue.
