My Greenskins

[daddyorchips]

those are amazing. what i would give to be able to paint like that!

 

[Ketil Trout]

Thanks for all the kind words, I shall continue to plod along.

Next up is something that doesn't really belong with orcs and goblins, but it is green at least, in part







This is one of my favourite old sculpts, and I love Ivan Bartleet's version from his chaos warband. I was inspired to add the scorpion tailed dragon in homage to his, but decided against an elaborate standard too.

 

[Fimm McCool]

Wow.

 

[Tex]

Beatiful: you went over the top with this one!

 

[Suber]

It's impressive in every detail!

 

[Ketil Trout]

Thanks all, was good to finally get some paint on the dragon ogre. Have been wanting to finish one since I first saw it in White Dwarf a long time ago.
Next up is another big beast, not quite as old this time.







A giant stone troll that I think was part of a 54mm staff only Christmas gift diorama with a trollslayer. I picked this one up on eBay.

Love this shaggot! The little dragon makes a wonderful eyecatcher.

I really have a soft spot for those old dragon ogres and that one with the tiny dragon is fantastic! You've done a fabulous job with it. I'm really really tempted to find a way to make Zoats of them. But . . . well . . . Maybe those are the Zoats with the Eldar? What with their elfier looking armor.
Hmm . . .

Anyway, well done!

 

[Ketil Trout]

Thanks all. I've finally finished my chaos goblin mutants. I struggled for quite a long time with these figures because I really wanted to do them justice, they are such a great group of models



Initially I wasn't sure what to do with them, I thought about creating a small war band with them, but wanted to have them in my army so set about making a proper unit for them.
Whilst they sat on my desk some Kev Adams armoured goblins arrived from a Knightmare Miniatures Kickstarter, so they got added in.



and some fanatics

 

[Ketil Trout]

This is the completed unit of 56 chaos goblins







I ended up using quite a mix of miniatures, mainly Citadel and Marauder goblins, a few chaos familiars, the goblin mutants and Knightmare armoured goblins, a goblin from Oakbound Studios, my goblin war turtle, a Ral Partha Grendel and a Grenadier Demogorgon amongst others

Absolutely brilliant I love it all. Hard to pick out any one part of it but the skin tones are a real stand out, as is the free hand on banner and shields. Seeing those armoured goblins made me think of the labyrinth film straight away .

 

[daddyorchips]

those are ace!

 

[weismonsters]

That is an amazing unit. Very chaotic.

 

[symphonicpoet]

That's a fine lot of Gobbos you have there. Love the armored fellows in particular and they all came out very very well.

 

[Ketil Trout]

Thanks everyone. A bit less chaotic this time, a new Kev Adams boar chariot from Knightmare. I love this model, its big and covered in lots of typical Goblinmaster details, severed elf heads, mushrooms and leering faces.

 

[Orjetax]

Wonderful work

Really nicely painted, love the wood effect and the boars. Was unaware of this company but definitely a great oldschool feel to the models, almost makes me want to dig out my orc dog cart !

 

[Micha]

Both the Chaos Goblin unit and the Chariot are a joy to look upon, excellent painting technique, color choice and of coure model selection. I would have loved some up close detail shots to really appreciate your work.

 

[daddyorchips]

wow!

fghdghhgf

 

[Ketil Trout]

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

Next up is a unit of big 'uns with a mix of Citadel and Marauder orcs plus a few recent Knightmare Miniatures Iron Orcs and an Asgard half-troll chieftain







Time is ticking away to BOYL and I've got a few things still to finish.
