Gnomevember - what’s on your painting desk for next month?

[Brother Meredith]

Here are my plans for the coming month!



Leading the way is the BC1 gnome adventurer, then last years Oakbound Adventure Calendar figures and some Turnip28 models recently acquired and a potato (‘cause Turnip!)…

Leading the way is the BC1 gnome adventurer, then last years Oakbound Adventure Calendar figures and some Turnip28 models recently acquired and a potato (‘cause Turnip!)…

I've got some Oldschool miniatures gnomes, but think they may have to wait til Februhairy. The giant will occupy up to Christmas I think.

One little gnome shouldn’t take you long and would make a fun comparison to the giant! 😉

You know how slowly I paint - I've been at these drunken goblins for the best part of a month! 🤣 I did manage to get the matt varnish on them today in a break in the weather. I need to set aside more painting time 🤣

But this dude really is calling me..

He's from the fabulous Oldschool Miniatures. I've got a few of his friends too. In the mythical "one day" I have an idea for an impenetrable woodland terrain piece for fantasy battles centered around a huge tree inhabited by gnomes. Your gnome here will be perfect for guarding the tunnel through the surrounding thorn hedge. I'll need to get more gnome villagers too.

(Top tip - don't scrub paint and Dettol off a giant at your work desk. Much keyboard cleaning to do!)

are dwarves still allowed, or have they now been relegated to februhairy?
all my gnomes have been painted for a while now.

Well... Oakbound Dwarfs are Gnomes so... figure that one out.. Aren't Gnomes techinally a form of Dwarf though? well, in fantasy.. If I remember my mythology right, weren't Gnomes 'made' as metal working spirits/Dæmons who did alot of mining and playful jokesters? which is basically what Dwarfs in mythology are.

and a potato

What variety? I'm mostly a Maris Piper or Navan man.

 

[Brother Meredith]

Dwarves and Gnomes are clearly different species! How preposterous to suggest otherwise… 🤨

They must be an elf, talking like that!

 

[ManicMan]

shorty-short, Kill-kill shorty-short. All same.

Yes indeed. Everyone knows dwarfs don't have beards.

 

[Brother Meredith]

Heresy!!

 

[Fimm McCool]

Wil Huygen says so.

 

[Brother Meredith]

All primed up and no where to go?

… well aside from the painting desk and TurnipCon later in the month. 😉

I've had the same gnomes primed up ready for Gnomevember for about 5 years. Maybe this year I'll actually finish them??

In my one & only attempt at D&D I played a gnome, and only on condition he was armed with a fishing rod & pointy hat.

DO IT!! 🤨

I've always loved the Svirfneblin concept (coolest name ever) but the only models I've liked enough are Halflings and Goblins. That's good because if a nice enough gnome miniature line exists I'll be broke in matter of minutes. Let's hope no one posts cool gnomes in this thread...
