From TeemuL - The Last Arrer Boyz (25 Points)

These guys won't need much introductions, some good old greenskins with bows. They would have been quite boring alone, because you all have seen them week after week, so I decided to add some scenery. No more white background, enter green background with cardboard buildings! Yes, the buildings are quite elfish, but these greenskins have most likely conquered them. I believe the buildings are genuine GW products from the same era as the figures. I don't really know, I bought them few years ago and they were old then.

First two more goblins, again with unique hoods. Left one looks little bit like a stereotypical cartoon native American, the right one is simpler with a black trim.



 Then three big uns, still in perfect harmony, no individuality here.



Group shot of all the five between buildings. As you might have guessed, these are the last ones I have. I do have some close combat orcs and goblins still unpainted, I hope to give them some attention during this challenge. They are not next in line, I need to paint something else first.


And then last one is a bonus picture, all the orc and goblin arrers I have painted during this challenge (and 5 old ones in the back row, which I painted years ago). Starts to look like an army, eh?



From Curt:

Haha, from the title of the post it sounds like the title of a great Sergio Leone film!

Excellent work Teemu. This little side project of yours has taken a lot of us back to our first years in the hobby - right down to the bright red bows, patterned hats and sawdust basework. Wonderful stuff!

Well done.

  1. Nice work. I find it odd that the hobby moved from rules that tried to be serious and realistic in the early 1980s (WRG et al.) with shiny figs to being fun with realistic weathered and dull tones on the figs. These make me happy
