Kings of War: Otters and Goblins
Painting my first regiment
I decided on a simple colour scheme, given that I have to paint 160 rank and file goblins before I even get to the specialist units
Base coatI started with much darker basecoats for the skin and clothes. I don’t normally bother with that much layering , but I really liked how my Idols of Torment figures turned out. I’m pretty average when it comes to miniature paint, but I usually come out happy enough with the results.
I basically aim to use the colours shown above along with a metallic , a rust effect and a lighter blue for skin highlights
Having added the basecoats for the skin and cloth, I painted the weapons and any metallic parts, firstly with the rust effect, then the oily steel and then gave the metal a coat of nuln oil. As the miniatures are not based I am going to be handling them a fair bit as they don’t stay blu-tacked to the lolly sticks too well. To protect them, I gave them a blast of matt varnish, I wanted to get then nuln oil on before this so it worked better.
I was pretty pleased with the results….just another 11 bases to fill.
These are looking great, I love the frost goblin skin colours. It is going to look phenomenal as a full army
