Gorram's Grand Army Project

I’ve been playing a lot of World of Warcraft since the new expac came out and it’s put me in the mood for some silly fantasy. Looking at what I had in the stash that would scratch the itch I found a load of Night Goblins.

Being slightly older GW sculpts, the models are a delight to put together and pretty fun to paint.

1. Black prime so that a quick paint job that misses any bits won’t be as noticeable
2. Heavy dry brush, almost an over brush Vallejo Royal Purple
3. At this point I tried a couple of different highlight colours but went with Alien Purple from the Army Painter Fanatics range in the end. The basing for these is going to be very warm tonally so keeping the models a little cooler should hopefully meant they don’t get lost amongst the basing material.
4. Time for skin tones. Like with my Mantic orcs, I wanted two different ones, split roughly 50/50
   1. Base colour AP Fanatics Greenskin, first highlight Greenskin and Fanatic Rainforest mixed in a 1/1 ratio, final highlight pure Rainforest. Wash with Agrax Earthshade
   2. Base colour Citadel Warboss Green and highlighted with Skarsnik Green. Wash with Agrax Earthshade
5. Metal details are just Citadel Leadbelcher base coat, wash with Agrax Earthshade
6. Wood details are Fanatic Onyx Skin base coat, wash with Agrax Earthshade
7. Ropes are Fanatic Ancient Stone base coat, wash with Agrax Earthshade
8. Shields have their shield detail in Fanatic Demonic Yellow, the base was left the black from the prime. Wash with Agrax Earthshade.

Everyone is on temporary bases for painting right now but over the course of ten days or so, forty were done. I’ll base them all at the same time.
