Legacy 2019

I´m taking part in Oldhammer Forum´s Legacy 2019 Project. This year the theme is Chaos Marauder Band inspired By the game Chaos Marauders. I felt that a chaos gobbo would fit in and as I wanted to take a short break from painting Imperial Guard I decided to finish him right away.

 

 

 

So my participant is a C27 Chaos Goblin Mutant "Three eyes". His robes are Mephisto red shaded heavily with Agrax Earthshade. Then highlighted with Mephisto red and washed with Bloodletter. More highlights with Evil Sunz Scarlet that was gradually mixed with yellow paint and ink. Final highlights with yellow.

 

Skin is Warboss green shaded with Agrax. Highlights are Warboss, Skarsnik Green and Game Color Escopena green mixed with Skarsnik.

 

Join the Project and you too have a chance of winning this chap among other Marauders.

 

 

Goblin horde update

When building a 3rd edition O&G army you are facing a pretty high obstacle - troop minima for O&G is 80 models. And it is quite natural that when you get those 20 orc boyz, 20 orc arrerz, 20 gobbos and 20 stickas painted you propably want to do something else than lowly goblins to boost your ranks. That happened to me too.

A couple of trolls, a chariot and a few other things later I was ready to continue with gobbos. I didn´t set a exact number like how many gobbos I eventually want to field. I sort of just started picking up an odd gobbo here and another one there. And I painted them when I felt like painting a gobbo. At some stage I lost count on how many guys I have.

Today it´s a been a really pretty day here in Finland. It looks like the summer is on it´s way. So I took my gobbos outside and arranged them for a head count. And to take some pictures. Most of these have been presented here before but there are a couple of new ones too.

Front view of the unit. 

Bird´s eye. 6x6+2 is 38 goblins. 

Newest additions. The one furtest to the left is a repair job. His

spear was broken. Replaced it with an elf spear. Mace gobbo

is midhammer but blends in well enough. 

A pre slotta fanatic. These are a must for goblin units. 

From a bit different angle.

Standing at 38 now the next logical goal would of course be 40. That would mean that they could lose 10 of their number before having to test for breaking. 

Green brothers in Chaos

Bought a few pre slotta goblins a couple of weeks ago from Oldhammer forums´ Trading subforum. I was mostly looking for fanatics of which I got three. Then I noticed a chaos goblin shaman and another one that looked like pretty normal goblin to me in the picture. It turned out to be a chaos goblin mutant. One of the fanatics has been seen here with my gnomes and now it´s time to present the chaos goblin duo.

C27 Chaos Goblin mutants Plague and Spiky Shaman. As seen in Aug 1984 flyer.

That´s a lot of warts/pimples on the gobbo. Quite a mad look on that shaman´s face. 

Side view of both mutants. My shaman has only one spike on his back. There is a version with three spikes too. And I´ve seen one with hand pointing straight up and with some hair of his/her head but that could have been a conversion.

Plague will fill a spot in ever groving gobbo unit. And spiky shaman gets to be... well... a shaman. Before him I had only one orc shaman and Spiky comes in very handy.
