Well, being over half way through a batch of only eight figures is hardly a milestone, but it is progress. The goblins are finally on the painting table.
Originally I planned for four sets of crew to go with my two based up Ballista. As that leaves me with a couple of spare crews, and as one of the Oathmark supplements adds the option of boats to the game, two more ‘unbased’ Ballista would make a useful addition to the army…
As I had a few of the required colours already out to paint the ‘Pigin Big Arras’ that my Goblins are carrying, it seemed foolish not to get them done at the same time.
Not a bad fit if I say so myself. As for the extra protection from those shields on the side… Looks a bit sparse to me.
Thats more like it. Shockingly though these are from the depths of my bits box and must be ancient Games Workshop shields. My curiosity to find their origin led me to peruse the internet and I just spied a set of them retailing on eBay for about £1 each… 18 a side 36 in total.
Value of ship £13. Value of random bits box shields £36…

Wow, really?! I think I have a bunch of those shields I picked up in the last few years. I was going to use them as some sort of team tokens for Blood Bowl.
Are those Oathmark Goblins or GW? I’m guessing GW. I’ve never played Oathmark, but I have been picking up some of the minis as alternative bits for Frostgrave minis.

These are old-school GW metals from the Gobbo Spear Chukka set. From the early 2000s if I recall. As these were so much fun to paint, I now have a desire to get 20 of the really old, C12 Kevin Adams (1989), gobbos to add to the army…

Bolt throwers on the ship look really good! 🙂 Hate to say it, but the mug is the star of the show for me! 🙂

Thought it might be! A gift from Coronasan that has lasted very well and often explains my mood, wordlessly, to the rest of my family…
