Well as a little piece and for a competition i painted a goblin hero from avatars of war range. The models are so detailed and this was rather nice to paint aswell. Took me about 3-4 days and i kept the base quite simple so i could integrate him into my night goblin army as a hero or champion. Anyway here are the pics:

It has been a while since i've worked with metallics and i need to definately work more with my contrast with it in general. After using NMM for so long my metallics look a little flat and maybe i need to introduce more use of inks and washes to the metallic surfaces. One other hindrance i've had is that since you know im lazy at taking photos and in general mine aren't the greatest but taking pics of metallics is even more difficult i have found.

I wanted to keep the model quite dull and not too shiney and bright so i tried to tone down alot of my highlights. Im fairly happy with the model in general and i think in the future i might experiment more with metallic paints.

Well after a long break from painting and finding a job i finally found time and motivation to finish the dwarf miners and i even finished a unit of 20 night goblin archers !



Overall im happy with both units, the dwarves especially. I found with the goblin archers you get from the battle for skull pass boxed set that they aren't very interesting at all so i was a bit stumped with how to add a bit more colour to them. Im content with the banner bearer but i think i'll replace it when i get a box of night goblins to bulk out the 2 regiments. Since i like "clothy" banners.

Well after completing the 2nd miner and my standard bearer, which took me ages btw. I have still low motivation in painting at the moment, maybe i need a change of pace or a break from painting. 

Since i know i want to paint more i decided i must be crazy and need a change from army building, so i dug out a couple phoenix lords and i will paint one of them. But the question is which one? Also i gotta prep the base to make them more interesting, <milliput at the ready> i finally found a place where they sell cork board, my local gaming store !!! after searching the whole town this is the only place which has any cork board.
