Hobgoblins and some terrain

Just a quick fantasy painting update his week. First up are some hobgoblins (I think). These guys ended up a bit pinker than expected (a lesson I learned doing washes on some AWI tunics with cherry red only to create an entire 54mm unit of militia in pink (arrrrgh!) but, apparently, promptly forgot). Anyhow, pink is as legit a colour as any in fantasy.


These are more of the figures Chen gave me and they have really good details, at least for my style of painting.



I also messed around with a fire elemental, trying to do washes with lighter colours. Meh. It's okay.


I also had to do some quick terrain making for a game. I needed some magic symbols (in this case, basically light switches for the button punchers in the party) so I filled in six washers, painted a rock pattern, used a sharpie to put some black lines down, and then painted blue over top. Good enough for the girls I go with.


I also needed six brazers, which I fabricated out of sculpty and baked before painting. And I needed like 20 coffins so I cut, etched and drybrushed some foam core. Not perfect but it conveys the gist of what I was after.

Up next: I have some adventurers on the paint table. They have been stuck there awhile since I vapour lock whenever I look at them and try to make colour choices. I may just need to sit down and not get up until they are done one day in order to move on.
