Right now I have to:
paint 57 night goblins
make a base for a steam tank
make a diorama of a mortar misfire
paint the goblin rock lobber
paint the rest of my orc boyz(7)
paint a goblin warboss on giant cave squig
paint 20 arrer boyz
finally finish my orc boar boyz(8)

So I've got a bit of work to do and I'll keep you lot up to date here.

so far I've painted about 6 night goblins, 2 boars and started on the base and the diorama.


Here are some pics of my night goblins

Yeah, sorry. Can't see to much of anything through the fuzz of the pic. The only things I can think of to get better pics would be either a)if you have a good camera, learn how to use it or b)if you don't have a good camera, get one.

Sorry if that sounded mean and blunt but we can't help you or give comments if we can't see. Definitely eager to see what you've got for us. Good luck and happy painting!

The camera I'm using is a Nikon Coolpix.
12.0 Mega pixels
4X zoom


This is what I've done so far on the mortar misfire

Started on converting a night goblin in to a war boss

I'm guessing you'll want to greenstuff some entrails on to that half body? If you can get green stuff have a look around...shaving from the sprue might act as good flesh bits.

Also, turn your camera to macro :-) I think you've done it for the last one, but not of the gob bos.

I never changed the setting on the camera.

I'll look into getting some green stuff (It's modelling clay right?)

Yep...though you might find stuff lying around that you can use in its place. If it that is the only amount you need you could use blue tac and when you have it in place cover it in a thin layer of super glue, it will harden a fair bit and can last a long time. When painted you won't be able to tell the difference...if it is has been covered in the glue.

Thanks for the tip now I don't need to spend more money on it.

I'm all about saving money haha!

Experiment first though!

Does it have to be super glue?

Will special plastics glue works or even PVA?

These new pics are much better, especially the Mortar misfire. Bet the diorama's gonna be sweet.

I think even PVA would work to be honest...as long as it hardens the outer layer of the blu tac it should be fine. It can't bear any weight, but for little bits like entrails its cheap and easy! Just give it a test to make sure before you commit it to the model!

Incidently...if you mix PVA glue with gore red clour, you get a nice shiny wet looking blood

I hope so

No quite sure how I should I do the entrails. Do you have any pics of how you've done them?


just finished making & painting a weird looking night goblin.

will probably have a pic of it on soon.

Any advice?

Greenstuff? Roll it up and shape it a little bit. I'd say google a pic of intestines for reference, but that'd probably be pretty gross.

before I forget what do you think of my night goblins?

They look neatly done - pic isn't so clear.

If you water down some brown and 'wash' it over that will add some depth.

Do a symbol/transfer on the banner.

Paint the moon yellow.

yeah I did a free hand cross of bones and it turned out bad and my brother says "It's a four leaf clover".

How do I do a symbol transfer?
