[Archive] Da Kaptain's Paintin' Berth(1)

Kaptain BlackSquig:

At Kera’s suggestion, I thought you fine folks might be interested in helping me as a chart the progress of getting all my O&G minis built and ready for battle! After a near three year hiatus, I have come back to my O&G with the mission to get all the remaining minis I have painted. (I know, the Holy grail of all of us as hobbyists!) but a task I relish now!

Between painted and unpainted, I must have 30000 points in O&G, because I am a pack rat! But of late I have started blowing the dust off of unopened boxes and blisters, and painting them for use on the tabletop. I am not nor will ever be a pro-painter, I paint my figures to play with and thus some may leave much to be desired. I am planning on taking better pics soon and will post my painted army shortly after new pics have been taken.

I am an Orc & Goblin player through and through and while I did at one time have a Chaos Dwarf army, O&G are my passion, though I am working on a start for Chaos Dwarves once more (they were the first army I took to a Grand Tournament back in, oh, 2000!) and will post this progress in the appropriate forum. For now, here…we…go!

Kaptain BlackSquig:

While I am waiting for the two Mangler Squigs I ordered (The Squigs are done for now, at least till they get here!) its off to the dark domains of the forest Goblins. First up is a trio of baddies guaranteed to make any Imperial soldier soil his breeches!

Kaptain BlackSquig:

I thought I would share a pic from a recent game of Triumph & Treachery. Quick, can you spot the Squigs?

Kaptain BlackSquig:

Reinforcements are on the way!



Now where did those riders get off to…?

Kaptain BlackSquig:

Oops! I realized I missed a Squig, and a big one at that! Without further gilding of the lilies…

The Warlord of Karak Eight Peaks! And friend!



Field tested Skarsnik & Gobbla today in a game of Triumph & Tragedy. While we called the game early, Gobbla did manage to swallow a Bloodletter! Would have been two but the Demons made a Ward Save. Curses! But all in all a fine first test, having never used a special character in Warhammer and also getting them painted and onto the field!

Yodrin:

30k points, wow, its lie a never ending story of minis and painting;)

That said, your of to a good start!! Nice colors and a nice paint job, keep it up!!

Bloodbeard:

Thanks for sharing your stuff. Looking good.

Hope we’ll see some CDs from you.

torn:

Gotta love the squigs. My bro plays night gobbos but he hasn’t got his painted yet.

Admiral:

Haha, wonderful Squigs! Nice Spiders and gobbos, too.

Kaptain BlackSquig:

While looking for the riders for the Spider Riders, I came across a box. And in that box I found Boyz! Unfinished, but nearly completed Boyz. So these have landed upon the painting table and I am going to take a short break from arachnid hell and going to finish these lads off. Only need some detailing, shields, a command section (better than the one shown) and some basing. Should be a quick fix and then I am 40 Boyz with Spears stronger! Waaaaaaagh!

Abecedar:

Well done.

Makes me want to get back into painting my atrocious O&G horde

Chaosftw:

Very cool stuff! I love the squigs!!! Thank you for sharing your work and bat rep! Keep em coming!

Kaptain BlackSquig:

New work on some Spider Riders, being modeled by one of our club mates for me to paint when they are done, also I did finally finish the big Guys, will post pics shortly…



…and a bas-ic layout



Lots of creepy crawler goodness is on the way…

Fuggit Khan:

The spider conversion pinned on the block is really well done…the pose is exactly what spiders do when they react to enemies.

Arachnophobia at it’s best :cheers

Kera foehunter:

you need to hurry my Slayer are waiting .:hat off

Nice spider cult …

Kaptain BlackSquig:

The creepiness continues as the awful arachnids add to their ranks…





Again, my mate that’s creating these monsters is an artist! I cant wait to get them on my painting table to see if I can do justice to the work he is doing!

Kaptain BlackSquig:

More and more spiders gather to the call of the Mother…
