Hobby update – 31st January 2021

I was originally planning to paint some Goblin Archers during Saturday, but this plan changed due to an unexpected find.

I was searching through one of my storage boxes when I discovered a box of figures I had forgotten I had…

Another box of Goblin infantry to add to the 60 figures that I had already built. These were bound to come in useful so I decided to put them together. The only question was, what unit would I create?

Having already created units of spears, swords and archers, the other option was to use the alternative hand weapons – axes and maces – to create a couple of units wielding hand weapons with shields. This left 10 figures. I used 5 as Standard Bearers:

I was almost at a loss as to what to with the last 5, until a bit of inspiration hit me and I decided to build them wielding two weapons – These could act as elite hearthguard in a Saga warband, or as champions.

The next job is to apply filler to the bases and get the models primed. My Goblin horde continues to grow…

You may wonder what I was actually looking for when I found this box of Goblins? I think these may be next on the modelling desk once my Goblin army is finished…
