High time that I use the photos I DID take (self jab for forgetting to take photos of my GH entry) to post the finalised photos of my hobgobbo archers.
Time for the customary post Golden Hat WIP shots and description. It all started with Brokk Grungsson. Took a look at him and thought I could turn him into some lord for my acolytes, especially after comparing some sexy big ass hats on him
So chop chop chop, and we get rid of the useless armor bits around the arms (required some fixing with greenstuff to smooth them out again). Since he was gonna go with my acolytes of Hashooot, it seemed appropriate to give him an owl-faced hammer. And given the hammer, I realized he kinda looked like an Astragoth, so I decided to give him the flag poles, with appropriate flames
Then it was time to work on the two flags, where I opted for a stormy Karak Vlag and the mountains on one side, and the customary flaming skulls on the other
Awesome conversion, I couldn’t tell how much work you put into it. I take my hat off to your skills.
The painting of the banners, especially the “back”, looks incredibly good.
Thanks! It was super fun to work on, tbh. Was so happy to post it cause I finished it the week after the post went out (I had started it during an Astragoth campaign)
A stunning entry, although I’m obviously biased when seeing that you used one of the Big Hats that I sculpted
I’m really impressed at the obvious amounts of work behind it all…very very nice!
WOAH! my god I like your bull! My attempts at sculpting bulls backfire every time. It looks so menacing you really captured some emotion with those eyes. Good Job!
Finally finished the other small unit of hobgobbo spearmen. Loved and hated working on these guys, primarily because of the sheer amount of details in the Lost Kingdom Miniatures hobgoblins. While super cool, all of those details need to be somewhat painted, which results in a nightmarish amount of work.
They got the same treatment as my archers (as far as rhinoplasty and chin modification). Then it was time to prime, and, apparently, sit on my desk for over six months. I primed them March 1st…
In Classic me fashion, I forgot to document any of the in-between steps for the dry brushing, the red and brown base coats and washes, and (most critically) the eye painting!!!
Finally finished my hellcannon. Started out with an old second hand OOP model missing some bits and all the crew, which I had to acquire from somewhere else.
