*Edit*:
Hey guys, I think I'll just post all my work here. Instead of my Goblins only. Thanks.

*Original Post*

Hey guys, I just wanted to share some of my stuff here.

I'm still sort of new to the hobby. I still don't know how to play yet but I've painted some older models before. Right now, the only models I have are some Moria Goblins I got recently. I'm not that good at painting yet so sorry if they're not that good.

I tried adding my own personal touch to some models. I painted a few models in different colors just to help me distinguish them (although, I'm sort of regretting it now). I painted the ones with shields blue while the ones with spears yellow instead of the normal red cloth of the goblins. I'm still going to take some pics later but for now, here's one of my models.

i also started with a goblin in the beginning :-)

, at first i wondered how u could paint something that small! It will go better and better with the years. Keep it up, it looks like a good beginning.

This Goblin looks far far better than my attempts at painting when I was new t the hobby. The eyes are great as is the armour. Only suggestion I could make is add a wash of Brown wash (Devlin Mud it used to be called not sure what the new name is sorry) over the red clothing and highlight again with the original colour. Great painting overall, stick with it! :yay:

Nice goblin eyes :yay:

armour and skin too, far better than my first Orcs.

yeh thats what models look like when the main colours are added, I agree with DMS add a wash + prob the same colour after the wash drys in picked out areas to finish him off .. also if you base him with sand and paint the base and the outside of the base it adds a finish to the model that will do alot for him

Thanks a lot guys! I'm probably going to get to post some other pictures within the week. I'm also working on a pair of Vault Wardens right now so I'll also get some photos of them soon.

Better than my first ones. :-D

Later today, I'll be posting some other pics of my Goblins and a team of Vault Wardens that I tried stripping with dishwashing liquid.

Here are some other photos of my Goblins. Like I said, I decided to paint other models in different colors aside from red. They are all at varying stages of painting. Only one is sort of done. I used different mixes of Mephiston Red, Kantor Blue, and Yriel Yellow to paint the cloth. For the base, I cut out bits of the plastic sprue before putting them on the base with liquid green stuff. I then used the new Astrogranite texture paint for it. I'm still thinking of drybrushing it with Praxeti White. Tomorrow, I'll post some pictures of my Vault Wardens.

*Edit*

I'll just upload everything tomorrow or later tonight. Having some problems attaching them.

very bright colours, the moria goblin near the shield reminds me of a super hero :-)

boromir_of_ithilien · **Posted:** Fri Aug 17, 2012 4:48 pm

Yup. I'll still wash them down with Agrax Earthshade.
