Goblins....

 Greetings,












Now for the arachnophobes out there, sorry for no prior warning. Here is my recent collection of gribbly thingys.

I have two of the big spiders and 40 spider cavalry. Since I am having all of my  without any Goblins on them I have got 40 Forest Goblin infantry from the Spider Riders, and 18 Forest Goblins from the two Arachnarok. 

So at the moment I have 2 Arachnarok (one Lord, one Rare), 40 Spider Riders, 2 Rock Lobbers, 50 Forest Goblin infantry including a BSB, 2 Shamen and an extra Goblin Hero. I can make about 2500pts with them.

Oh and regarding my last post with the weird photo orientation, my camera croaked. Died. Kaput. Defunct. Buggered. This was taken with my new camera. I'll take new ones of the piggies later.

More piggies...

Greetings,
Here are the piggie photos that I have promised for a while now. Apologies for not doing it sooner. War hog number 2 (Dry Cure) and Brine.





 I also had pictures of Sausages (Gun Boar number 2), but for some reason the add photo thingy doesn't like some of my landscape photos.... Might try to re-add them after this is posted.

p.s.


Here are the other photos of Brine and those of Pork Scratchings and Sausages. I don't know why I can't alter their orientation though....

PanO Models. 8 finished 7 to go.

Greetings,

Here are the photos of the PanO that I promised in my previous post. I now have 5 Knights painted (Magister, Montesa, Teutonic, Santiago and Hospitalier), a Bagh Mari, a Specialist Order Sergeant and a Trauma Doc (Flo).





They are all painted in a similar scheme, the only real variation is with the cloth pieces on the non-Knight miniatures. The fatigues, straps and beret are painted either with Catachan Green or Charadon Granite. A Badab Black ink was added liberally over most of the models to highlight and other things. I will say that they look much better in the flesh. Any photo I take fails to do the model justice.

I will say that Flo is one of the most hated miniatures at Orctown where Infinity is concerned. She did lose her first patient, but in a single game she went on a healing and climbing rampage, AFTER shooting a Tiger Warrior in the face and killing him. She healed one guy, climbed up 3". Healed a second guy and climbed up 3". She then did the same a third time. Fell down one floor, no harm. Fell down a second floor, no harm. Then she went to heal someone else in the following turn.
Even though I lost the game to my opponent (the certain German gentleman who introduced me to this game) and whom said many bad things about my PanO and especially Flo. I did much more damage, but I failed to get the objectives. Ho-hum... It was a good game none-the-less.

Hopefully I will put up photos of my newly painted Piggies, Khador and Retribution next time.

No Photos as of yet, but an update!

Greetings,

I apologise, again, for the lack of posts. I have been hellishly busy though.

I have fully painted another 5 PanO. I have painted 3 Knights, a Medic and a Bagh Mari. I am still using a similar scheme to my three prior models. I am going to have a unified colour scheme throughout all of the models, even if they are from different Military Orders. I am likely to be taking Teutonic Knights and Magister Knights instead of the other Orders as they are more flexible and with the Teutons not having Cubes they are less likely to be Sepsitored.

I have painted some of my Retribution, 2 Battle Mages. I like the red and orange scheme complimented by the purple.

I also managed to paint Brine and a second War Hog for my Farrow. I’m not sure about the weapon colours for the War Hog. They are too dark compared to the haft and the rest of the metal of the cleavers. Brine looks good in comparison, but I’m not a fan of bits of the model. The chains on the wrists and the single trotter that the entire model is balancing upon are my main issues.

I have started a Goblin all-spider army. I am looking at 4 units of Spider Riders, a flinger Arachnarok, Goblin Shaman Lord on Arachnarok, BSB on a Giant Spider and three Goblin Big Bosses on Giant Spiders. I still have 146pts to spend on magic items, which is going to be interesting. I am slightly annoyed at the fact that I can’t take Goblin Shamans on spiders, apart from the HUGE ones.
