Otherworld Goblins and Crooked Dice Ettin

Apologies life has been just super busy of late so the blog has gone the back burner a bit. I went to the 7TV Fantasy event back in July over at Wargames Foundry and it was fantastic as usual! So good to see so many friends and play some casual games of 7TV. I managed to find enough time between things to get my goblin warband cast all finished off along with an Ettin (Ogre in the game). I'll try and get a write up on the blog with some of the pics. There were some amazing casts and boards all done to a fantastic standard.

Otherworld Miniatures Chieftain.

Otherworld Miniatures Shaman

Otherworld Miniatures Goblin Archers

Otherworld Miniatures Goblin Sub Chief

Crooked Dice Ettin (Resin)

The Complete Warband I took on the day. There were another 7 Goblins at one point but I change my mind and chose another co star instead as I didn't fancy moving around that many figures. Overall they did quite well. I'll do a more thorough write up in the coming weeks.

The 40 Rating Cast was below.

Wolfish Warlord
Vicious Henchman

Tormented Seer

Goblin King
6x Goblin Warriors

2x Goblin Sneaks (archers)

Crooked Dice Goblin King

Concentrating on getting the remaining Goblins finished I got the Goblin King on Thorn by Crooked Dice finished. It was a gorgeous model to finish and I can't wait to have him lead his horde at the 7TV Event in July! I also picked up a few Otherworld minis I was after after they recently announced a price increase. So I have another Goblin Shaman to paint up and I got a druid and some giant Owls which I think will get added to my Elven Warband.

The throne is a gorgeous sculpt in its own right it has so many fab details from all the tiny faces dotted about to the Dwarf being crushed a top a bed of skulls. You can't see in the pics below but behind the King himself there is another row of skulls.

I plan on taking a small board to the event but I don't have much Fantasy specific Terrain so I pick up some generic ruins by Renedra. They were quite easy to trim off, clean and assemble them all just spend a casual evening watching telly while I did it. I am undecided on whether to base the loose wall sections as I don't think they will be very stable during play.

This is one each of the frames. The walls on the left side are what I think need basing and it will fit in better with the other pieces. I'm hoping once painted they will mix in with my LOTR Ruins

Crooked Dice Goblins

Work is steadily progressing with my Goblin Horde. I've managed to get the bulk of the warriors done during this month. I've started the two archers, chieftain and sub chief from Otherworld. The Goblin King is also underway having got his throne finished. Now beginning work on the King himself!

With the warriors I kept a similar colour scheme to my first batch but used more green and red. Mixing it all up so they appear like a rabble but with unifying colours. I used less browns and creams on this batch. Mixing them in with the ones I did previously I think they fit in quite well.

The Kings Throne. Such a gorgeous sculpt I had to paint them separately as there are just so many nice details on the the throne itself. I decided to paint the skulls as bone rather than wood as I think it gives a nicer contrast than all just being wood.
