Boing boing boing...

Following the appearance of a fungus horde in a rival tribe, Skarnak's Goblins reckoned they could go one better. Squigs are ferocious beasts at the best of times, so what better way to the make them more irate and dangerous than by clambering aboard one and holding on for dear life?


So after finishing 5 normal Night Goblins, I entertained myself with something a little different in my force by doing a tester for one of my Squig Hoppers. The highlighting on the Goblin isn't quite finished but I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out.

The squig looks to be having lots of fun!
The same can't be said for the rider...

I'm quite happy with how the red has turned out on the squig. It's nice and bright on the raised areas with plenty of definition in the muscles. Now I just need to replicate that through a whole unit but before that there are more Night Goblins to paint!

    He looks great! What reds did you use? I'm guessing blood and gore? Also, you're putting my painting to shame with these!

    Mine are probably going to all be red so yours are more fun!

    I basecoated with Mechrite, then washed with Badab Black. Then I think I used Scab Red, working up with Blood Red and then a final highlight with a Blazing Orange/Blood Red mix. I tried highlighting with Dwarf Flesh (which is how I often highlight red on armour and stuff like that) but it didn't look vibrant or natural enough.

    Cool! Someone's going to have to teach me higlighting properly. I'm permanently stuck in 'drybrush everything' mode then 'wash with ink.'

    If you ever head over Oxford way for gaming or other hobby-related funsies, I'll happily show you a few tips and tricks.
