Wests Mordheim Bands

Oh, new minis again, and they painted up just nice. Though it's a bit hard to find them because one has to browse through all the pics at the top for the new entries. Maybe you could (also) put your new additons into separate posts for an easier search? Like not just talking about the new dwarfs in your post just above this one but also show them?

It's something that I was unsure how to handle right from the start. That first post has gotten terribly long, but having them scattered inside a thread has it's own drawbacks.

Does anyone know if there is a way to link to a specific post inside the thread? Maybe I could make the first post simply a list of links and then have the others later in the thread.

I added my hired sword pool. I'll do big pictures above and smaller ones here.

Humm, those look ok. It's a lot of work, but maybe I'll do small pictures above and bigger pictures down here.

The photos are getting better; the minis are TERRIFIC. Try a darker color background; re, the grey is too close to the colors you are using for the miniatures.  

I think I have some others to add, like kislev. But for now here are Night Goblins.

Time to show off the Night Goblins. A few near the end aren't really good for Mordheim, but I got addicted to Kev Adams goblins so i collected the 1992 ones.

















And the start of the Orc Warband. Technically that list uses squigs and fanatics as well, but I think I'd rather stick to independent night goblins, and use Orcs, with just goblins to support them.

The Old G.W. Night Goblins are delightfully silly creations. You did a SPLENDID job painting & basing the Little Rogues. VERY NICELY DONE!

I really liked painting these. So much so that I decided to drop all the newer ones that were part of the original plan and find more of these old ones. And to do forest goblins as well. I'm still in the process of picking those up when i find good prices, but they'll get finished eventually.

The old, out of production plastic Night Goblins are my favorites...great minis for conversions.
I checked in the Vault of Pack Rattiness. I have a handful of the old metal Night Goblins, a bunch of old metal Goblins & Forest Goblins plus five of the old metal Spider Riders & Spiders. You can have them if you'd like at no charge...they need a home. Just PM me your name & address if you are interested.

That, is amazing, and I could very much use them. Thank you.

I remember being VERY excited when those multi part NG came out. I'm not really a fan of how big they are though. For a time I considered finding a few to use as heros, but in the end I like these goofy ones to much.

They are yours then.

Those are some damn fine gobbos! I like the '90s style painting, it fits the models perfectly. They're a fun bunch, & I agree that those old Night Goblins are classics. Plus, Night Goblins are a heap of fun to play.

I've found I naturally vary my painting to fit the model. The one thing I don't do well is go over the top on cloaks and things like that, and I tend to tie myself to "realistic" colours. I think it worked very well for these goblins, but I need to work on making things a bit more "fantasy" for my High Elves.

So clearly i've slowed down a bit. But I'm still making decent progress. Here are a few reinforcements for my marienburgers, and a bunch of orcs. I'm going to give them some squigs, herders and fanatics after all. Doing so gives me a decent squig herd for a WFB army...




Orcs

LOOKIN' GOOD! The Lads of various colors are coming a long SPLENDIDLY.

Thanks, and with a lot of thanks to you, Forrest Goblins are currently on the painting table.

The paintjob is just as fine as the older ones and it's a nice choice of models, especially for the Orks.

Another fine batch of work -- I'm going to especially pick out the Marienburger captain this time, because I never liked that model, but you made him look gooood.

Thanks. I used to have an Orc warband that was all plastic except the Shaman. The same day I decided that I wanted to replace the plastics these guys were on ebay for about 75 cents an orc. It was to perfect to pass up. Even unpainted the lot just looked like a Warband to me.

I've been neglecting this part of the forum for awhile. Excellent work on the warbands sir

You have some great models here.

Thanks! Hopefully early next week there will be some pictures of a forest goblin band as well. My addiction to painting the kev adams sculpts has turned the goblin project into a 3rd/4th edition WFB army as well.

Great! I love the forest gitz

Haha! Project creep does that sometimes... You start off just painting some of the models you like, just a handful, then whoops! it's an army. Looking forward to the forest gobbos.

Took a week longer than planned. But here are the forest goblins. Thanks again Al.

The Little Green Forest Folk turned out SPLENDIDLY. You did a WONDERFUL piece of brushwork. VERY WELL DONE!

It was my pleasure to contribute to the cause. The Lads look much happier with their new paint jobs.
