[Archive] My Hobgoblin convertions

Honeym123:

My hobgoblins :slight_smile:

I started with 20 Clan rats from IoB, some goblin heads, some greenstuff and a kitchen knife :slight_smile:









I then contuined with making bases



Then I painted them and tried to make some lavabases - the last part failed a bit - guess I don’t want to spend all that time painting the bases :slight_smile:









I would love some critic and praise :slight_smile:

Yodrin:

I think the gobbos look cool, and well painted. The bases though kinda ruins the impression imho, I don’t think they look good.

Paint the bases in one color and put some gravel, grass or tuft on it dosent take long, and paint the edges black. Its easy and quick :wink:

Skink:

What Yodrin said. You can add lava in small pools and cracks, the effect is going to be more “realistic” (I don’t think it’s feasible for any living being to walk on a surface seething with lava )…

That said the Hobbos came out great. One minor critic (minor) could be that Goblin heads are a tad too big for the clanrats’ bodies. If you want to build more in the future you can try Gretchin heads, characterful and (fairly) cheap! Otherwise check these out.

Abecedar:

Not too shabby at all. I like the slight big headedness, it gives them the hunchbacked effect. The bases do need a re-think, maybe a real good darkening wash and then a rusty coloured highlight before making some lava hotspots?. Oh and check them for moldlines especially across the heads.

gIL^:

Not bad at all, Big heads are big that isn’t a bad thing!

Though the skaven icons would drive me crazy!

tjub:

Painting looks good, but Id consider something more solid for the bases. And get the mouldlines please… :slight_smile:

Soulassassin:

The bases are on the brighter end of the scale, but you could tidy them up a bit by painting the edges black. That would help I think!

Great job with the conversions! :cheers I would slap a skull or two across those skaven symbol though :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Honeym123:

Thanks for the replies guys :slight_smile:

I just made another 20 (Had 20 spare goblin heads - I will try gretchin heads with plague monks bodies and bows next :slight_smile: ).

I have decided to make the bases with red gravel and the rocks I have all ready made. The lava project became too big for me (I think :slight_smile: ), when I saw how it is actually done.

Cheers ! :cheers

They look a lot like mines! http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=12205&pid=207896#pid207896

Averrucus:

I’ve done something similar, only differences are that I used the Night gobbos heads and the Skaven Slave box, but the concept (and the minis) are almost identical!!

great work!!!
