Is it possible to paint Night Goblins robes red without going against the fluff? I saw a picture in the O'n'G army book and one of the Goblins got a red hood, but black robe. And since the color of my army is red I really want to paint their robes red, sooo yeah... As I asked - is it possible to paint their clothes red without going against the fluff?

Of course. There is no canon rule about the colour of night goblin cloaks.

Ya but I was still curious since it says that the Night Goblins wears black clothes to protect themselves against the sun.

Edit; Oh and thanks. :p

If there all going to wear red clocks. You should model at least one as little red riding hood.

Maybe mounted on a wolf, with a pick-nick basket.

Haha, that's actually a pretty cool idea! I'm totally gonna do that!

Dude they are your models dont ever let fluff get in the way of how you want to paint.

The thing is - I can't ignore the fluff too much. :( If, for some reasons, Night Goblins wouldn't be able to survive without their black robes then I would paint them black. But it seems like red robes and hoods works fine.

As long as it covers there skin from the sun it's fine i imagine, besides a black robe would be mighty hot

That assumes that goblins follow the rules of human physiology. For all we know goblins don't notice changes in temperature. Especially if they are fungus based life forms.
