[WM] Del Boca Vista, I mean WM, Phase II

[Stormwind]

Wow, your painting makes even the tiny bland space marines from the 90s look good!

[captPiett]

Update time! Got a good chunk of goblins and goblin-friends done. These were really fun to paint, especially the squiggs. Speaking of which...

Squigg herds. I was able to get a hold of a bunch of O&G command a while back and the number of squiggs gives some indication to just how much:

Next, Fanatics. There's no special unit for these guys, so I'll just use them as goblins:








And their cannons:





These will work for doom-divers (or rock lobbas in the standard list)

[captPiett]

The stupid green flecks are rogue pieces of flock. pay no attention to them.

The giant squiggs, stand-ins for giants, with their courageous/insane herders:









These are standard WM squiggs with some goblin characters/crewmen. I have a third one that is going to get some tiny bat-like wings and a riding goblin for a wyvern monstrous mount. He's in the works right now.

And finally, a spare ogre for O&G command. He's got a meat cleaver/sword and a gnoblar for a "to go" lunch on his back. It's become more and more likely that he's going to be the goblin army's general, as the thought of a rebellious ogre striking it out on his own and beating a horde of goblins into submission is just too funny to ignore.







Enjoy!

Oh wow!  Those are fabulous!  I love the diligence of picking out the special command units and making a "normal" unit out of them (Like the swordsmen from Empire).

[jchaos79]

wow that ideas really struck on me! very original and great paint. A pleasure to see them. congrat and thumps up

[BlackEd]

Looks great  Matt!  Does this mean that you're starting a goblin Army?

[captPiett]

Thanks Stormwind, Jchaos, and Ed. High praise indeed.

@Ed: oh yes, this is the beginning of a goblin army. I have a couple goblin units made out of more command that are next. 4 pump wagons are on the drawing board too.

[BlackEd]

Awesome!  Can't wait to see it!

I am willing to cast up your (original) sculpts/models in resin, if that will help at all.

Do you mean the pump wagons? I'll think about that when I'm constructing them then.


[I am aware of DaveC's excellent models of said pump wagons by the way]

[BlackEd]

Yep, the pump wagons.  DaveC did some great ones.  I figure if I cast yours I can keep a copy or two....

[Stormwind]

Ha ha, pump wagons in 10mm scale - that's going to be a beautiful sight! =)

[Big Red]

Ooooohhhh!!

I'll help pay for some pump wagon moulds to be made if I can get a couple. 

Also - make up some Doom Divers too.... they would look sweeeeet as Rock Lobber substitutes!

[captPiett]

I don't usually put WIP pics into this blog, but for the pump wagons I'll make an exception. These were a joy to make. My material of choice is balsa wood for the first one:












The crew is a mix of wolf chariot riders and some command. That black blob on the left side of the platform is a mushroom - if any army is going to have machinery rotting away with fungus, I figure it has to be the goblins
