I've not made as much progress on these 2 projects as I'd hoped in the last few weeks. But it looks like we are in for a miserable winter so I'll have plenty of time indoors to work on them.

I've finished converting the 2 extra Dwarf Blockers with claws and have gone for one with one with claws at rest and the other about to double slash some poor unfortunate.



I've almost finished the hobgoblins as well, 2 of the bodies had legs like wolves so they are not being used which does mean there are 3 pairs of duplicate bodies. I've used ghoul heads and hands to try and differentiate them more and am experimenting with different shoulder pads. Not sure if they should have none, 1 pad, 2 or a combination.





For their colour scheme I am thinking of dark grey skin as opposed to green. That would give them more of an industrial look and less stereotypical so they are closer to evil mutated slaves than just halfway between an orc and goblin. It would also tie them into the black, red and gold colour scheme since green would clash a bit with that.

So now they are almost fully built I just need to concentrate on getting the mino done. Big guys are always my favourite things to paint and most of the models I am most proud of are larger scale.

The Lizardmen are pretty much a straight paint job and a lot more natural looking than the team I did for Purplegoo. I have cleaned up and built all the models in the team, and there is just a bit of greenstuff gap filling to do on 3 saurus and Sillibilli.

I have finished 4 skinks though, as they are pretty much junior crocs I have painted them a pale, yellow green. The Saurus will be darker and I am still deciding on the Krox since he is more toad like so could either be pale or the darkest.






Finally I took part in a miniature swap over on TFF. I had wanted to do more star players on the Pro Elf team in addition to Eldril seeing as it was the Star Bowl but ran out of time. I had an old Harlequin lying about and combined that with a 2nd edition kicker and a new Harlequin leg to make Dolfar Longstride.
I had tried to get him in a leaping and kicking pose so he could be used as Jordell too since he has a face mask, but it doesn't quite work.
