I took full advantage of the time off at the start of the year to get as much done in my first month as possible. I have some travel planned for Feb, plus it being a bit shorter means I probably won’t get as much done as in Jan so I really wanted to put in a good show for that first month.
I started with the unit of spear wielding Forest Goblin troops. As mentioned in my intro I have a couple of extra ranks of most units so when I was done with the 15 I had earmarked as the core amount for the unit I carried on painting another ten for a total of 25. I haven’t decided what I am doing with the banners yet so they will likely remain with bare poles until the end of the challenge where I will do them altogether:
There were a couple of things I had to do with this unit I thought worth highlighting. The models I got hold of for this army didn’t have enough of the original shields to cover everything, and rather than spending hundreds on Ebay trying to track them down I just decided to 3d print them so the whole army would be consistent.
Also I didn’t have enough spear armed Goblins, but had extra sword armed ones, and a couple of extra Standard Bearers, so I converted them to be holding spears, heresy? Probably:
Next up I turned my attention to a smaller unit, some bow and arrow Forest Goblins, ten in total including a musician:
Finally I wanted to test out my paint schemes for the Spider Riders but not on those models, so thought I would quickly do the Spider Swarms to see if my plans would work. I think they look decent so I will give them a try with their bigger cousins in a couple of months' time. Keen to hear what people think about my rainbow of legs:
This month I managed to paint the following:
One month down, 40 models painted and my sanity mostly still intact.
