Goblin Grunts


The poor huddled masses of many a fantasy setting, I've devoted some attention to my goblin grunts. These are from the Splintered Light Goblin WarbandThey will provide the rank and file for my Goblin war party.

The Yellow-bellies have survived in their ancestoral region while their larger brethren and rival tribes have been hunted to extinction by adhering by their most sacred code: A good run beats a bad stand.

Nothing new to report here, the sculpts are as the others I painted previously, slightly smaller than other sculpts but detailed and free of any blemishes. I tried painting them in the traditional dress of their people (brownish rags) but the dirty yellow is more appealing.

The Dwarves of Delveholme (Part IV)


I present more Splintered Light dwarves. The first three are from Dwarf Adventurers, the last two are from Dwarf Treasure Hunting Party.

I find the first model slightly amusing as he's clearly skinned a teddy bear at some point and now wears its fur with unjustified pride. The second model had a cultist vibe about him so I went with a sun-worshipper icon on his chest. The third model has a face that screams drunken oaf. The nice bronze age helmet, ragged cloak, exposed belly and pose combine very nicely. All three are easy to paint and rich in detail.

The last two are the standard hewers and carriers. I enjoyed the mix of colours across all the dwarves. I think the fifth model is a little too garish but as usual, good enough is enough for me.
