Im looking for a quick and easy way to paint night goblins. Ive tried like three methods but the skin area is so small, I dont know what to do I try to water the paint down and it just runs everywere and doesent cover anything. I primed in black so any ideas would be great I have over 100 to paint so I need to get somthing down.

use the foundation paint - gretchin green. Then wash with brown & green inks mixed together.

It also sounds like your watering your paints a little too much.

Normally I do like 2 globs of paint and one drop of water? What do you guys do?

No need to do any mixing in my personal opinion. Simply goblin-green, or I prefer snot-green. Paint the skin first, and absolutly first, if you go over the line a little, either paint over when working out to the clothing, or take the tip of a file to it.

My method:
Skin - Basecoat DA green, overbrush snot green.
Robes - Roughly highlight with Vellejo black grey, highlight codex grey.
Details in brown, bone, and boltgun metal.
Whole model washed with Badab black.
Skin - Highlight snot green, highlight goblin green
Robes - Highlight extreme edges again with codex grey.
Highlight details with same colour as they were basecoated.
Paint eyes red.

Forgot to mention, I paint my moons, skullz, squigs etc bright blue. Originally it was Lightening blue, but I think they've cancelled it now.

Cool thanks for all the tips guys, Im going to make a P&M Blog about my Night Goblin army when I get more time to sit down and acually do more painting but all the feed back is well appreciated.

your paint mix sounds about right, try loading your brush less

I do, knarlock green, then devlin mud, followed by knarlock again and a final high light of Goblin green.

For the cloaks i do codex grey with a wash of devlin mud.

I also have a blog of my NG army here
