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:
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
I 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.
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!
