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!
