Hello to you all! My name is Rob, 55 year of age, I'm a early retired (I have a bad health - suffering from small fiber neuropathy) professional 3D fantasy/scifi illustrator and completely new to the world of orcs and goblins but not new to modelling, scatchbuilding and painting...
After having build 1:35 scale WWII militairy dioramas as a (serious) hobby for about 25 years, I had enough of the WWII subject and started looking for something different.
After a while, through my search on the internet, I found the Games Workshop website and got interested in the fantastic looking Orcs, Goblins and other miniatures
and ordered the Savage Orc Boys, Maggoth Lord: Morbidex Twiceborn, Putrid Blightkings, Gretchin and Meganobz to make start...
I also ordered a great amount of Citadel/Vallejo paint; never had painted with acrylics before in my life and I must say: that's a big difference with the Humbrol enamels and oil paint I had used in the past
But after doing some research and a lot of trial and error, I now getting the hang of it; I very much like the quick drying times and the use of the wet palette...
I'm planning to do a Orc /goblin diorama as an entree for a modelling show and recently discovered the beautiful miniatures from both Kromlech and Puppetswars, so I ordered from both shops; Puppetswars (I love the Orc War School bus and Orc plane!)
at the start of august; and a week ago from Kromlech (the Soviet Goblins and the impressive Orc Warchief in massive Juggernaut Mecha-Armour are great!) ! However, still waiting for my orders to arrive...
So I have much fun and I enjoy my new modelling hobby and hope to show you guys what I have created when I have finished some of my projects in the nearby future!
Well, that's it, thank you for reading my introduction and to you all I want to say: keep enjoying this wonderful creative hobby!
Cheers, Rob
