That one looks fantastic! The skin is too green for me but that's alright as they're your mini's and not mine. :-D

Love the base as well!

I decided to dry brush them with some Copper. At first I thought of it as "rust" effect but Copper armor also made sense to me rather than strong iron ones for Goblins. How does it look?

it looks awesome :-D

i have never seen goblins with copper armor before.
and if you want a rust effect on the iron armor just wash it with a red/brownish wash.

Wash it and i dont mean with soap. Lol delvin all over = quality.

I did wash it but I think I'm using far less wash than I should since you are telling me to wash it

Oh sorry i didnt notice. Well keep them as you want them anyway. Good work :yay:

Btw i use quite thick washes and i thought a black wash should darken the armour and sahde it quite well. You know just experiment untill you are happy.

couldn't get a clearer focus I don't know why... how are these?

and a family photo with moria background

any idea for column decoration?

edit: oh forgot this one. this was the first moria unit I painted a few months ago. what do you guys think?

Agree on the chain needing a wash but love the body paint you done, very nice.

farinal · **Posted:** Tue Nov 06, 2012 12:33 pm

Thanks! I guess it does needs some washing. What tempted me was that it looked really like a real chain at first and I leave it like that lol. I'll be washing it today.

So this guy's latest version is this:

and this is the latest version of the troll:

The extra highlights on your newer goblins make the world of difference, they are looking great.

The shading added to the troll is also excellent. Well done.

Thanks! It means a lot to hear it from a master painter like you!

Lord Hurin · **Posted:** Sun Nov 11, 2012 11:19 pm

Awesome! Great improvement and that Troll looks so cool. There's an old Decipher CCG card that shows an Orc storming Minas Tirith with that kind of war paint. Good job, sir!

I like the new avatar, too. Makes your posts stand out much more

Thanks!

You are progressing at a really mind-numbing rate here! About as good as I am after 6 years in the hobby now. (basecoat-wash-highlight). Great! And I also love the idea of copper gobbo's.

farinal · **Posted:** Tue Nov 13, 2012 6:38 pm

Really thanks a lot!

Also I'm thinking of highlighting the sand on the base but can't decide what to do with it.

John Wayne · **Posted:** Tue Nov 13, 2012 9:53 pm

They look realy good now mate. Im glad you took the time to paint them up a bit more. Congrats
