Nathan's 206 points of hobgoblins
Well I got there. During the last 6 months I had times when I didn’t think I would make it to be honest. Hobgoblins are fun to paint but with no cavalry I had to paint quite a few of them to get to 1000 points. Thankfully heroes and banners bolstered my points totals as I couldn’t have painted 1000 points of rank and file in 6 months. 12 months maybe. Anyway for June I finished:
- mercenary commander (the temple dog was done earlier) with light armour and a spear for 108 points
- 4 hobyars with light armour and double handed weapons for 40 points
- 7 mourngul renegades with shields, light armour and hand weapons for 56 points
So 206 points all up. I do need to add a shield to the commander at some stage. Going to be a pretty small one as there isn’t much room. Anyway here they are:
Nice work!
ReplyDeleteBravo sir! These Hobgoblins have really added an extra exotic twist to this year's challenge and I've loved seeing them each month :)
ReplyDeleteNice work. I think this was an excellent choice for this years challenge.
ReplyDeleteAlways thought it was odd that a Mongol inspired force would lack for cavalry. Good to see the temple dog in there, though!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the full army!
It is a bit odd. Later editions did have wolf riders which fits in nicely. Problem for me though is I don’t like those figures. Too chunky and cartoony for me. I understand they are pretty collectable though
DeleteI agree. I don't care for the later hobgoblins of the "big had" chaos dwarf era at all. (Don't care for the big hats themselves, either... But I'm an Oldhammer curmudgeon.) But I really do like the idea of hobgoblin cavalry in general.
DeleteNice work!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
