Orcs & Goblins: the Old World
Goblin Spear Chukkas
Bought four super cheap 3-D printed ballista from a seller on Etsy (like 5$ each).
Did minor conversions to make them look different (plasticards and random bits)
Then I went for three different recipe for painting woods:
1- light brown primer, followed by Agrax earthshade wash, than a lighter highlight
2- off-white primer, followed by a dark brown oil wash
3- off-white primer, followed by a slightly diluted Cygor Brown contrast paint
To my surprise and disappointment, the wood effect was fairly similar for all three ballistas 🙁
The fourth and last ballista was a giant head cleaved in half. It does look good in a sense, but it also looks too evil or chaos.
The other goblin spear chukkas have more of a friendly-goblin vibe, so I don’t plan on painting the last one, at least for now.
