Glyn's Night Goblins - Month 1 - SQUIGS!!! (136 points)

Well, a new year.....and nothing new here in the dystopian nightmare that is the dying husk of the UK. Did I say nothing new? Well, not quite nothing..... 😉

Long have I wanted to paint up my Night Goblin army, but for an equally long time have I pondered over what colour scheme I wanted to use. Most of my musings rested on the question of how to paint black and, of increasing importance since joining the OWAC last year, how to paint black in a realistically fast way. I had initially planned to do my goblins for last years OWAC, but I couldn't find a way of painting black that I really liked or felt comfortable with. But then I stumbled across a tutorial by Vince Venturella on YouTube and eureka! I liked the method, felt even I could do it, and loved the result!! My second question related to colour. An army of black could look somewhat uninspiring....how was I going to give it some brightness?? You guessed it.... Squigs!! 😀

And so, weighing in at 136points for month one, I give you 2 Squig Herder teams and their 6 Squigs!

I must at this point give due credit to a fellow challenger, Chris (Blue), whose goblin skin recipe I have stolen, but not executed anywhere near as well as he does!! But I do like it....a lot! 

I hope you all enjoy the Squigs as much as I enjoyed painting them 😀😄 loads of fun! I'm pleased with how they've turned out and I'm quietly encouraged by the black of the robes ☺️

And as you can see......i am still crap at photos! 

You may recall from my introductory post that I mentioned the possibility of a 3rd archer unit. Gork and Mork have smiled on my Waaaaggghhhhhh (together with the postman working with me to make deliveries as surreptitiously as possible during lockdown!😉😳) and the third unit has materialised. For transparencies sake, my three units currently look as below and next months offering will be one from these 👍😀
