Hey folks, im new here and this is my blog for all things Hobbit and LOTR.

So far I have 6 Goblins finished so here are pics of what I have done.

they are amazing, they look all sick and dirty like they should

The horrid lumps on the side of the goblin in the 3rd picture are amazing - quite nauseating, they are so plausible as some dreadful disease. Yuck!
Filthy goblins - very very well done!

I love how dirty they look! Much better than GW's clean paint scheme.

Great stuff man, I like how you kinda stuck to the GW style but made it your own

Your Goblins look amazing! They're very dirty and they've got swears all over, Great Job!

I really like those goblins!
Plenty better than GW's paint jobs
On the third pic down the warty, mutilated face is really good.
Excellent work

Very good painting (especially the shading and I love the axe on the far left one in the first pic), but God, I'm growing to hate those bumps on their backs.

Thanks everyone, I should get the boxed starter set for the Hobbit around Christmas day so stay tuned for that. For now these are all I have to show unfortunately.

Realy nice work. Loved the diseased look of the goblins. Good luck with the rest

Great artwork! My box is also laying under "the tree".
Do you have a "paint guide" or something familiar that you want to share with the rest of us? It safe's time in experementing ...

Thanks, the skin was painted like this:

base: Rakarth Flesh
wash Carrgoburg Crimson into all the recesses and around boils
wash Leviathan Purple or whatever purple wash you have into the deepest crevices.
clean up with Rakarth Flesh
Layer a bit with 1/1 Rakarth Flesh and Pallid Wych Flesh
highlights with Pallid Wych Flesh
selectively dab unthinned washes with a fine detail brush around the knees, joints and random areas with whatever brown, purple, red washes you have.

I used this image as inspiration:

I'd tap that.

Gross, Sticky Fingerssss.

Now we know why your fingers are sticky.

If GW's painters saw these, they'd feel really bad about themselves. Absolutely amazing paintjob you did there.

Nice goblins! They look very filthy indeed!

I like your colour scheme, you captured the grotesque idea perfectly.

Is the guy with the two-handed weapon a convversion or do they come with the optoon?

Thanks everyone, the guy with the 2h weapon is not a conversion they all come with random weapons.
