Maybe Big Gobb wasn’t a great general like his father. But he knew a thing or two about how to dress. Bad Moonz love bold colours, and Big Gobb was a proper Bad Moon.
And he wanted his boyz to look the part. As his mob
formed, he spent loads of teeth on the brightest uniforms. He spent so much,
that even a warlord as rich as him nearly ran out of teeth.
The mob started to grow as the call to WAAARGH! Spread,
and Big Gobb looked with pride at the brightly attired boyz who gathered. Sure,
their weapons might have been a bit rusty, but who’s counting?! These flash
gitz were dressed to impress.
Well, I’ve made it through month one! I’m absolutely delighted. Last year I finished one mini as part of the challenge. This year I’ve finished at least ten – win!
Most importantly, it’s been great fun. I’d always wanted
these posable plastic orks (released in 1990) and when I found them on ebay, I
was excited to find that they had been heavily kitbashed by their previous
owner (a ten year old!) I almost felt a bit bad restoring them (I made a video
about them that you can see here), but feel
that my childlike love of bright colours has done them justice!
So here we have it, Big Gobb’s Big Mob is taking shape. I’ve
loved painting again and can’t wait to do more!

For my challenge offering, I painted up this chaos sorcerer,
sculpted by Bryan Ansell himself! I only learnt recently that he sculpted a
small number of chaos minis for Citadel in the early 80s. This dubious little
chap is now flying to Finland to join his new master Jaako!
Great start George !!
ReplyDeleteEre we go! Off to a good start, it's a joy to see your bright colours on an army again, George. Hopefully we'll get through all six months this year :)
ReplyDeleteAlso nice to see Enkalon of Garusa getting a coat of paint, you've given him an early D&D vibe with those colours. Well done on finding an old mini that I don't think I own yet, too!
It's great to see old plastics receiving love and they ended up nice and flashy! Looking forward to the next months!
ReplyDeleteThe sorcerer looks like a fantastic model and I'm looking forward to examining it closer. I collect chaos sorcerers but I don't think I've seen more than the old drawn catalogue picture of this one!
Great start George, congrats! It's also nice to hear that you enjoyed painting them. I've a few left over from my ork army which I really couldn't get through. I'm not one for subassemblies and I really struggled with the arms... Good luck for the rest of the challenge! 👊
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a great start! I really enjoyed the companion unboxing videos. Liked and subscribed! :D
