[QUOTE="Kris, post: 4410756, member: 3745"] Anyway, back to more 'regular' sized mini's... Next up are a few (more) goblinoid types, which I've attempted to paint reasonably quickly (especially the grunt/mook types) - just to get some paint on them. Captain Lórenz and his personal guard: [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/julyminis1.jpg[/IMG] The largest of these is a Ral Partha 'gargantua orc' and the others are Black Tree Design 'half-orc axemen'. The Ral partha mini came with a different (fur covered) shield - but I replaced it with a spare plastic one I had lying around. Móruw the beastmaster …and worgs: [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/julyminis2.jpg[/IMG] The main figure is another Ral Partha 'gargantua orc' and the worgs are DSA wolves (also available from Ral Partha Europe) A female non-combatant & Yánot the small: [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/julyminis3.jpg[/IMG] I've searched high and low for goblinoid female figures that didn't look too cheesy or cartoony - but with little luck. In the end I've tried to make my own from a GW plastic 'skaven plague monk' body (with the feet and tail removed) and bits from a plastic GW 'gnoblar' (i.e. head, arms, and feet). The worg-rider (which I admit is not a great figure - but it is one of the few worg-rider figures I could find that will actually fit onto a 1 inch base) is a Ral Partha 'goblin wolf rider' Goblin & hobgoblin troops [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/julyminis4.jpg[/IMG] For these grunts/mooks I have just used some plastic uruk-hai and goblins from GamesWorkshop's LotR range. Individual sprues of these can usually be got pretty cheap on e-bay - though with these particular ones I've converted the uruk pike-men by simply shortening their pikes to spears, and I've also used a simple round shield on the goblin rather than the spiky one included (note that I've also fixed the goblins to smaller bases than the ones that they are supplied with). Terrain: [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/julyminis5.jpg[/IMG] These are just a few plaster of paris pieces made from the Hirst Arts accessory mould. Next I'm thinking about maybe creating a few more of the female figures (though I'm not sure if I'm happy with the above conversion yet), and perhaps trying to come up with some kind of swarm/mob of goblinoid youngsters.
