#MESBG Middle Earth Goblin Town Goblins - Basecoats and moar Big Build and Base TO DONE!

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Middle Earth Goblin Town Goblins. There's now 50 of these, from the most basic gobbo to the King himself. You may recall there were 35 and goblins in a box of 36, well Otty found another 10 or 12 knocking around throw in the heroes and it is a lot to batch paint.


This is something of a test model. I took it a bit further on my attempt to recreate my Poxwalkers, although it wasn't quite the same. For some reason my new bottle of Vallejo Extra Opaque Heavy Red dilutes to a a terracotta colour, rather than the maroon I've come to expect from years of making angry red skin. But the purple has made it a little less noticeable. 


The King too has become a bit orangey in the process. Going to have to go some way to make the rest of the goblins match what I had in mind.


These 10 are the new ones Otty found, plus a captain and a few other pieces.


They were already primed, but I based them and added the red wash from an older bottle of Heavy Red that had enough to get the angry red I was after.

  1. These are some great looking gribblies! Having painted my fair share of these miniatures myself, I can attest that they are really quite fun as long as you don't do to big a batch!
    The bloody effect on the Goblin King is quite impressive!
