Hi, I've been out of The One Ring, but now I've started a new project, the Hobbits' goblins.

This is a picture of the start...

Where do the metal goblins come from?

Look like Thunderbolt Mountain (sculpts by the amazing Tom Meier): http://www.thunderboltmountain.com/prod ... vy-goblins
Great choice, seem to fit in very nicely.

Yes, they're from Thunderbolt Mountain, I think they're ok for Hobbit Goblins with arcs, a mini that GW haven't done.

Well, I have continued with the work. They are ok to start painting them...

You can see all the minis one per one in my blog:

And comments are wellcome, as always.

These are going to look great!!! Are you doing a movement tray for them too?

Where are those alternate Dunland men from?

And awesome work on everything!!

Great looking horde of Dunlands! And im sure those goblins are gonna rock as well!

Hi.
Thanks for comments...
I'm thinking in not to make a movement tray... I think it will be better to make a scenic tray based in the City of Goblins, but I'm not sure, I would like to make a great work and I haven't got too much time at this moment...
About the Dunland warriors proxys are from RedBox Miniatures, Warlord, etc... you can use all type of Vikings for them, I think.

I've started the painting, so soon I'll back with more photos.

Your display bases are always very good.

Thanks a lot, for me it is an honor that you say that, really.

This evening I've been working a little more while I was watching the NFL... and I have started 9 more goblins...

I hope you like these too.

Those do look like perfect additions to the goblins. Great find.
Can't wait to see some painted. Any chance you finished that Mumak you were making?

karavatis · **Posted:** Sun Jan 25, 2015 12:24 am

Well, the bases are finished, but the goblins...

This is my first attempt with them...

I'm not sure about the colour's skin...

What do you think about?.

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Sun Jan 25, 2015 6:21 am

Difficult one, my gut feeling is the yellow doesn't work.

Bandobras Took · **Posted:** Sun Jan 25, 2015 8:08 am

Hmm. I quite like the yellow to be honest... But it's entirely up to you

Great painting and basing by the way! :yay:

Oldman Willow · **Posted:** Sun Jan 25, 2015 3:39 pm

I like the work you put into the bases. I have a lot of Tom Meier's older goblins I use for backstabbers. Good find. A very thin wash or glaze of green ink might be helpful with the yellow. I do not use GW paints so I have no idea what GW wash to suggest. :roll:

I use luma concentrated water colors for washes. They are not colorfast and can be removed with water if you make a mistake. I would also try their arcon brown. The problem with using the Luma is that has to be the final stage before sealing. That is not a problem when speed painting it is a different dipping technique. I often use the ink with a binder. That is too far off the GW reservation to be useful.

I like the yellow. I will follow with interest.

garmenhord · **Posted:** Sun Jan 25, 2015 3:39 pm

Not convinced about the colour palette yet. It might work, but maybe in a softer variation? So that it remains a bit skin like.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Sun Jan 25, 2015 7:42 pm

The yellow is a bit too much.

goblin_king · **Posted:** Mon Jan 26, 2015 4:44 pm

Looking good! I'd suggest muting it a little bit, the Yellow is a bit 'egg yolk' for me. He looks like he has been pelted with eggs!
Perhaps highlight it with a more white-yellow colour then use washes to add a little colour.

karavatis · **Posted:** Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:46 pm

Ok.
I think I'll repaint it with other colors, I think I must paint it with whites and pinks tones...
Soon an image of the new Goblin.
