Converted Goblin Captain

    Awhile back, I got a cheap set of 24 used goblins. I've been meaning to get some work done on them but I kept putting it off (all of you wargamers know how that is). So the other day, a fellow goblin player, called me up asking me if I could get him a cheap Goblin Captain. I told him yes and after some conversion work I came up with this.

    Really simple conversion. Just an arm swap, shield attachment, head swap, and some green stuff mail and shoulder plates. I'm really pleased with how he came out and I really like how the paint pulled this figure together. I like having, for goblins, simple and effective paint schemes. This was just flat colors covered with a wash and a highlight for the armor.

    That's all I got for now. I have been busy working on some new terrain for some gaming this weekend but I did manage to get some work done on my Battle Company. I'll try and post some pics, hopefully by next weekend and keep you guys updated.

The Beginnings of a Goblin Clan

    Thought you guys might want to see some photos. Taking some advice from El Zorro (Follower) about the, if you only have a single monster he's a pincushion problem, I slightly modified my army list. The biggest change was getting rid of the Dweller in the Dark for two more marauders. I figured since I'm going to be fighting Haradrim, it wasn't worth getting a monster at all. Anyway here are some warrior photos.

    I got around to experimenting with goblin conversions. None of them are pictured here as they are
 not finished yet but I hope to break up some of the monotony of the figures.

    Just a shout out to Jeremy at chefofwar.blogspot.com about his goblin army and goblin conversion posts. Your blog is appreciated.

    I decided not to keep the bases grey but I'm going for the GW dirt look they use on their Lord of the Rings Dwarves and Goblins. So if anyone knows how to paint bases with a resemblance to those, your feedback would be appreciated.

I'm going for bases something like this

Goblin Army List, 400 points

    Haven't been able to do much work on the hobby front lately. Just posting my plans for the beginnings of my Moria force. Just a quick post to keep you guys updated.

Goblin 400 point Army List

(23 models)

                        Warboss: Durburz, Goblin King

                                    Warband 1: 4 Goblin warriors with shields

                                                     4 Goblin warriors with spears

                              Boss: Goblin Captain with shield

                                    Warband 2: 4 Goblin warriors with bow

                                                     1 Warg Marauder

                              Boss: Gundabad Captain

                                    Warband 3: 2 Gundabad warriors with shield

                                                     1 Gundabad warrior with spear

                                                     3 Giant Spiders

                                                     Dweller in the Dark

    I'm really pleased with The Dweller in the Dark. Even though his strength and defense are only 5, he moves 8" (20 cm), has a fight value and courage of 7, the Murderous Power special rule, and at 75 points he's cheaper and better then the cave troll in my opinion. 

    That's it for now, I hope to get some work done on my goblins soon. I'm still debating with myself as to paint their bases brown or grey. I'll  keep you guys updated and hopefully I can put some pictures up soon.

    Murderous Power: Whenever a Dweller in the Dark slays an enemy model, it regains a single Wound suffered previously in the battle. This cannot take it above its starting total.
