#MESBG Middle Earth Goblin Town and the final fellowship

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Middle Earth Goblin Town and Moria terrain. I previously shared this WiP pic.


But failed to share a close-up of the 3 remaining members of the Fellowship - Boromir, Pippin and Merry.


I also had this second throne of Goblin King. I wanted to paint it differently to the other one, with a Blessed Verdigris ๐Ÿ—ฝand bronze finish to the chair. So it was painted AP Hydra Turquoise, then I think I did another turquoise highlight. Then it was drybrushed. This was a bronze mix I'd created years ago but had fallen out of fashion using.


I don't know why. It doesn't have the red base colour of Sycorax Bronze, is more yellow, I rather like it. Then, following a tutorial on YouTube there was a drybrush of black.


It's a different way of doing my beloved metallic weathering technique. Can't have too many ways of doing something.


The Goblin Town terrain platforms on the cork board.


I then mixed a load of Burnt Umber art acrylic with equal parts wood glue and PVA. I then poured sand into the mix to create very sticky brown texture paint. Two small yoghurt pots wort to cover the board. I then added some larger stones in groups. On top of this Matt Black spray around the edges and anywhere the unpainted stones were giving a nice varied effect.


I mean the platforms are far too garish in comparison. That green effect stands out way too much. I'd though it would look like mouldy wood but I think I made a mistake doing too many individual planks. It works on the bottom of the ramps where it's 3 planks that might be exposed more to damp. Some of the whole individual planks in green just stand out in a weird way. Nevermind.


Anyway, highlights on the board next. All the stones need to be grey and I need to splash on some bonewhite to replicate the bone chips on my Moria and Goblin bases. Some other bits left to finish and then I can get all the TO DONE! pics TO DONE!

What's on my palette?

Bless me #Warhammer Community for I have sinned, it's been over 6 months since my last confession! Lots of progress both on my previous priorities and numerous other projects that somehow bullied their way into my TO DO list - I'm looking at you MESBG armies. I think I've painted over 100 miniatures in this period. It's bonkers, I've never been so productive!


So my previous priorities were:
  1. Leviathan Tyranid Prime
  2. Leviathan Neurotyrant and Neurolids
  3. Leviathan Barbgaunts x5 [x10 at a stretch]
  4. Leviathan Von Ryan's Leapers x3 [x6 at a stretch]
  5. Leviathan Termagants x20
  6. Termagants x30 base extensions
  • Genestealer Cult Sentinels
  • Ironsoul's Condemnors x2
  • Cerastus Knight Acheron
  • Cerastus Knight Castigator
  • Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan 1
  • Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan 2
  • Adeptus Titanicus Questoris Knights x3
  • Adeptus Titanicus terrain
Which leaves me with:
  1. Leviathan Termagants x20
  2. Leviathan Barbgaunts x5
  3. Leviathan Von Ryan's Leapers x3
  4. Leviathan Neurogaunts x20
  5. Termagants x30 base extensions
  • Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan 1
  • Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan 2
  • Adeptus Titanicus Questoris Knights x3
  • Adeptus Titanicus terrain - this is a second lot of AT terrain 
  • Cerastus Knight Acheron
  • Cerastus Knight Castigator
All the Tyranids are for this year's Armies On Parade. They're still RAYG rated, but it's changed a bit. Everything highlighted green are my priority before the end of the hobby season. Yellow ones are the stretch goals - a bit more effort. Orange, the Warlord Titans I hope I can get them primed and base as at least one will be my #dreadtober pledge this year. The Termagant basing extensions haven't been started but I've no idea if that will get done, maybe next season?

The Cerastus Knights will be after the Warlords, I suspect that'll be November December. All the red items are low priority but they're clearly more prioritised than The Lion or converted Sammael on jetbike from my actual TO DO List! ๐Ÿ˜‚ So many projects/figures left to paint!
