Goblin Pirate (Carl)

This one was a quick 'get it finished' job on a Black Scorpion goblin pirate model that has sat in the Work In Progress pile for ages.

I think it went through several colourways along the route to finish and ended up being a murky concoction of browns. I never really had a clear picture in my head of what I was working towards. So, in the end I just decided to go with it and finish it off no matter what state the colour combination was in - just get it done.

I've got another Black Scorpion goblin pirate in a similar position (multiple attempted and abandoned colour combinations) which I'll just get done soon too. Sometimes just not having a clear picture in head when I start a mini goes awry. What is odd is my other goblin pirates were easy and came together really well but they were very colourful so perhaps that's where I went wrong, attempting to apply more realistic colours on a Goblin's outfit!

ECW Irish Drummer (Carl)

Another addition to the Irish brigade for my English Civil War Montrose force.

This time the drummer for the Eureka Miniatures Pike block I'm putting together.

Commandante Moreno (Carl)

As soon as I saw this model by Bad Squiddo Games I knew I wanted it. Commandante Moreno is quite clearly inspired by the character of the same name from the Sharpe series of novels and TV series by Bernard Cornwell.

I'll use her in my Napoleonic games, originally bought to be a 'stand in' spy I'll likely use her as part of a British Peninsula Allied force when I've finished my French force.

Blood Bowl Goblins and Ball (Carl)

Another two Goblins for my Goblin Blood Bowl team, plus an old 3rd edition Ball.

The Hooligan is an old Blood Bowl Fan/Hooligan from (I think) 2nd edition Blood Bowl but I can't remember for sure (had them soooo long). I've got three others WiP on my painting desk that I'll be using for Re-Roll markers.

I've now just got four more regular Goblins and a Chainsaw Loonie to finish and that'll be the team complete.

I've painted the Hooligan with a slightly different base to the main team as I wanted to make the visual connection with the concept of a fan running onto the field to give someone a kicking.

ECW Irish Priest (Carl)

Another model has joined my growing band of ECW Irish for my Montrose force.

This one is another from the range by Eureka Miniatures, a priest putting the fear of God into enemy and ally alike.
