Base Coating the Spiders

The trimming and priming is done. I have moved onto applying the base coats. First off, we have a picture of the sprue that has most of the spiders on it. They look rather bright and I am not positive that I like the colors, but I will likely use some washes on them to deepen the colors.

Base Coating the Goblins

Here are some of the goblins with the start of the base coating. I’ve been blocking off the robes with various shades of gray. With irregular troops, like goblins, I like to use different colors throughout the unit to make them look a rag tag mob rather than a soldiers wearing a uniform.

They look a bit drab now, but after the skin tones go in they should start to pop and come together.

For your viewing pleasure, I present: a whole heap of gobos!

A Whole Heap-O-Gobos!

This is the pile of gobos and spiders that make up the greenskin half of the Battle for Skull Pass boxed set that I will paint for use at the Warhammer Fantasy events this spring. And if we get enough people in this event, it will be given away!

It’s day number one of painting. I am at the step of carefully scraping off the mold lines. And just let me say that removing the mold lines from all eight legs of the spiders is proving to be a real pain. I suffer so that you don’t have to.

More to come in future days!
