GG 2026 [Warfork Fantasy Battles] Yellow Toe Nail and Fleabite Worm

[KingOfTheLeadPile]

My Golden Gobbo Experience 2026 entry is my Orc Shaman on Wyvern, from my ongoing [Warfork Fantasy Battles] New Year's resolutions 2025 - The Battle for Arduthrond Glade project.

What I did so far:

• Building Step – Part 1
• Building Step – Part 2
• Building Step – Finished

Now I started to paint the model, both for Orctober as well as Golden Gobbo:

• Painting – Airbrushing Stage

While Yellow Toe Nail and Fleabite Worm consist of two models (the wyvern and rider, plus the rider on foot; actually three models as the rider is detachable), for Golden Gobbo I enter only the mounted shaman on wyvern, as per the competition guidelines.

For the background story of Yellow Toe Nail and Fleabite Worm, see the Scenario Description.

Already worthwhile, the investement

The wyvern had gotten a coat of gloss varnish two days ago, and was now covered in oil paint.

I used two different greens mixed with violet; one for the scales, the other for the rest of the green areas. The wings got magenta, to give them a "skin hue". The belly section got brown.

After about 40 minutes, I wiped the excess off.
