Might be my last goblins for #goblin week.

I’ve just got some Highland Mini’s Grail Knights, a damsel and a wizard on Pegasus to paint for my Bretonnian army :)

Test- goblin from the goblin box for Goblin Week. Not sure if I like it yet. Painting eyes is hard- and I never did it for human models. I don’t think I can do that for humans without it looking really goofy and messy

I heard that the last week of January is Goblin Week for some reason (- https://youtube.com/shorts/DNLEZn6WbZI?si=Roe-fXWqgK4RyfLE ) good timing since I wanted to paint them anyways 🤣

I gave Black Orcs skin a purple undercoat, and Boar Boys a red undercoat: so I’ll give goblins a blue undercoat. Maybe that will help differentiate them when they’re all on tabletop together

Black Orc Warboss on wyvern, I think it came out great :)

20 black orcs :)

Just finished some simple Kit-bashing for my General. That’s a Highland Mini’s model of a royal Pegasus, with a GW duke’s head. The decal’s I got from several Etsy vendors- might have gone a bit overboard on them, but if that ever bothers me more I think I can still add or move them around if I want to.

A Highland Mini’s Wizard on horse. I think the model was meant as an Empire type, but I’ll be using him as an evil outcast Wizard. Based the colors of Lex Luther.

I figure he’s an evil advisor type Wizard, a “the green mage” type of title, either in tribute or as a mockery of the Bretonnian Green Knight.

The GW Gandalf box on square bases :)

After the fact, I realized I could have put the cart on a smaller base, and 50x75- and use it as a bretonnian “Grail Reliquary” proxy. Oh well, it’s on a 50x100 mm base instead.

Took a stab at the Lord with Great Weapon. Might use the kid as a wizard or war machine crew.

Best results yet with model water projects, Highland Miniatures unit filler. That’s a Grail decal that I stuck on after the first “pour”, and 2 more pours on top of it. There was no reaction from the decal’s micro set and micro sol :) But be warned, the water seems pretty easy to smudge now that it’s dry :(

Gandalf on a square base for Old World, I’m gonna use it as an Outcast Wizard.

Here’s a highland miniatures Unit Filler… Along with my dog Rocco, who I based the models dog on.

WIP on scatter terrain ponds.

The first one used woodland Scenic’s realistic water, and I’m pretty sure it’s reacted poorly to PVA glue, very cloudy result. I think I see at least one crack, and nothing I can do with the little bubbles.

Next attempts will be following a tutorial using Vallejo Still Water instead.

Some pics of my Bretonnian pond.

The “chapel” is not glued to the pond. There’s a magnet on it- I’m hoping that will be easier to transport that way. I’m also working on some slightly modular hills, all 10mm thick, nice and easy to take to a hobby shop for a game. (Chapel is I believe from Highland Minis, one of their “fantasy fillers”

Next step in the plan is to use American Scenic’s Realistic water. Hope that works 😅 I’m debating if I should add some blue or green contrast paint into that pour when it happens.

If you’ve used that brand before- let me know! I’m pretty nervous about it

WIP on my new Monstrous encounters peg knights, with my super- games workshop ones :)

[matts-bretonnians]

Some pics from my 5th match- ty Matt “Doomscroll” for the pictures and the match!

It was my first win! Those grail knights really pull their weight, and did most of the fighting.

Peg knights did ok at first, ran down a unit of empire knights early, but they would be stopped and run down by the terrifying tank.

Still, a 1466 to 932 point win felt great :)

WIP Knights of the Realm on foot, mostly GW models and some third party models in there too.

This is the second time I’ve painted the GW ones. They were the first models I painted since I heard about Old World in July. I decided to repaint them to better match the style of all the other models I’ve painted since.

After doing all the sword and board guys in a red uniform, I’ve decided to do the great weapon guys with different colors, not unlike my mounted units. Dunno if I’ll do any quartering yet… probably not though.

Also stripping two more, one a swordsmen who I’m gonna try and turn into a great weapon guy, and the standard bearer.
