Hoi,
The Old World is pretty much my main focus this Challenge as I have predicted at the start. While I am beavering away on my own armies (Brettonians, Dwarfs, Middenheim and Dogs of War) and my Mordheim project, I have also accepted another commission for an Orc and Goblin army.
The first unit for this army is the one you see down below. Personally I love Night Goblins and these newish models are great to work with. The owner has asked me to give each unit one distinctive colour accent to recognize what models go in what unit, as you can see this unit's spot colour is red.
Now in order to get these done asap I used a lot of tricks learned from this tutorial which I can not reckommend enough:
Yes yes, I know technically she has more or less slapchopped the figures, but hey it works great!
For my own Middenheim army I have been painting these handgunners and I really like the way they turned out.
The blue is far lighter than is usual for Middenheimers but I like it a lot and I will stick with this for most of my more regular Middenheim units. When painting these I took some tricks from this tutorial and I can also assure you it is very helpfull!
Again, working out the points is not hard on this on: 34 x 5 is 170 points so that means I am well past my 1000 points target for this Challenge and I am very very happy with that, since I did not succeed in scoring my goal for the last 2 Challenges.
Cheers Sander

Love the goblins, a real treat to see
ReplyDeleteGreat work on these Old World units.
ReplyDeleteLove the hand gunners. Very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteEspecially like the Middenheimer handgunners. I can see those looking great in my Italian Wars collection.
ReplyDeleteAlways love to see more Old World stuff and these are just terrific. Especially like the Night Goblins, though the handgunners are pretty darn swell too! :)
ReplyDeleteLoving your Old World stuff mate. The larger bases for the Empire troops make them look much better. Can't believe you painted the EYES on rank and file!
ReplyDeleteNice work on those units! I'll have a look at that ork skin video.
ReplyDeleteExcellent Old World art, shiny and bright colours as they should!
ReplyDeleteLove the goblins Sander and the checkers really pop. Well done.
