CGOM: Prince Imrahil and Knights of Dol Amroth (31/05)

Chris GoM · **Posted:** Fri Jan 11, 2013 4:26 pm

As I received Escape From Goblin Town for Christmas, I thought I'd make a start and get my first batch of Goblins out of the way, 18 Goblins and the Tiny Captain. I chose not to opt for the colours shown in the film or by Games Workshop, but instead went for a pale green. The second batch will have a different skin tone to provide variety.

EDIT: knew i forgot something:

Well well, can't say I was expecting that. But boy does the paint scheme look good!

Very original and inspiring Chris. I may have to get another box of Goblins and paint them that when then add them to my Moria army.

They really need to be seen on the blog to be admired

That highlighting on the skin is spiffing! :yay:

You should be proud of these. Really really cool

I like the dark/dank scheme you've gone for, filthy little gobbos

I definitely need to get some more of these Goblins when I've finished Escape From Goblin Town, they're really nice to paint

Thanks Crucium, although they are slightly lighter than they appear in the photos

The skin came out nice - well done mate

Indeed, these are very nice. The alternate scheme came out very well. They're not bright green, but they're also not that sickly pale skin tone that GW has them. I really like this in-between colour.

Credit has to go to you for help with the skin though

I used it on some of my other goblins as well

Thought I'd comment and say how nice they look in green. Very slimy. and a nice dark scheme for consistency. Well done. :yay:

I think when I buy my goblins (in a while) I will try to use this colour scheme. I love the fact that the captain is so small.

Dark colours definitely suit the forces of evil

I look forwards to seeing what you do with the Goblins

Only if you really wanted me to - got to get through my EFGT box first (and a few other things)

Nice colours! They fit nice with Moria goblins too now

Still wondering about my colours for these guys..

I've started work on the second batch now, using a darker shade of green so I'm look forwards to seeing how they turn out

Wow.. those guys look incredibly good with your colour scheme! Far better than the GW one

Might want some too now!

They're very nice models to paint

My first 12 Osgiliath Veterans, converted from normal Warriors of Minas Tirith. I used a hobby knife to hack away parts of the armour, and then Green Stuff was used for the cloth and cloaks. One Veteran has an Easterling Sword and another has a Haradrim Spear. I have another 24 Veterans that need to be converted.

I've also posted them on my blog:

Very nice work Chris! I really like the variation in each model, you've done a great job at making each one unique. They all look sufficiently battered and bedraggled and begrudging, just as veterans should be!

Funnily enough my favourite for each section is the second from the left

I also quite like the very last archer.

I know these will look great painted, get 'em done asap!
