Day thireteen

No painting today. Its Farthers day in New Zealand and as this is my first farthers day I’m speeding all my time with my little Hobgoblin.

Daddy loves his baby cakes



37/116 models painted

Zanko:

After a game of Blood Bowl where the CD beat down on the Dark Elves two where tacking as slaves and with a captuered repeter bolt thrower where put to usess.

Just in case they think about running they are chained to the ground and should the try any thing tricksy they've got a team of goblines to stop that too. Goblines just love a chance to lord it over some one LOL

Ghost
Why did you get the slaves weapons?

I presume they are "cannon fodder"!?!?

IMO with weapons they are much too perilous even with the the two Gobbos behind them! ;)

Hrothgar Goldgreed:

Xbox Elites for the win!

Your army is looking good so far! I really like the idea for the Bolt Thrower, but the crew really needs some … finishing :slight_smile:

Bassman:

Excellent color scheme for your hobgoblins and much envy because you own so many expensive hobbos!

I’m not with you with your bolt thrower slaves… do you really think Dark elves could just work for you… naaaaah.

I suggest you to try something else…

Your hobgoblin boss is soooooo cute! :wink: good daddy!

Hussar! Today I added 15 sneaky gits, full hobgoblin command, two sets of CD command and 15 axe hobgoblins to my army

So that adds another 37 models to my painting list. This is going to stuff up my one month paint goal:o

Day twenty one

I’ve added 15 sneaky gits and trimmed my painting list a bit. I’ve dropped the black orcs for now.



72/118 models painted

tjub:

Im envyous, those models are models are really sweet… How many points do you have?

warh:

nice!
looking forward to see how you will paint the lammasu

Loki:

Great work Ghost they are look awesome, i so wish i had this many big hats :hat

Bassman:

I hate you becasue you have so many hobgoblins! :expressionless:

Very good job in sucha short time. I’m just checking and you have not enough Chaos Dwarfs. You shall find at least ten more blunderbusses to have a decent unit. I’d merge two warriors units into one to get a 20 man unit. It is much more effective, gamewise, than two units of ten. :hat

Stubbs:

I likey very much Ghost! really cool that you got so much old metal miniatures funny to see so many hats haha and your painting is also great! gonna follow this one for sure keep it going :cheers

Thanks, I'm also very envious of you army with some many beautiful conversion. Points wise I had a count up last night and there is about 2250 (using the indy GT rules) with no upgrades. I can think of about another 1200 points that I going to add over the next few mounts as well.
nice!
looking forward to see how you will paint the lammasu

warh
Thanks, I don't know how I'm going to paint it yet, I'm saving it for last.

Loki
Thanks, If only the hats where as fun to paint as they are to look at:hat off

Thanks, Top of my wish list is 10 more blunderbusses and I'm look for another 30 Chaos Dwarfs to make 3 full units of 20.
