    1. Thank you. I plan to add more photographs over the next few days and to try to get my head around how the mechanics of a blog works.

    1. Thank you.
      I based the skin tones on Brian Froud's goblins from the Labyrinth. I mail ordered the wizard at the time, about 1988, and has always been the Level 25 goblin Wizard of the army.

    1. Thank you, as I mentioned to Private Wierd above, the painting was based on Brian Froud's goblins, but I also have been influenced by the 2nd and 3rd edition painting styles, which was prevelant at the time I started collecting (1986). I always preferred a more realistic set of colours rather than the bright reds and yellows, and ithink it gives the goblins that cheekier mischievous look to them.

    1. Than kyou,
      I will be photographing nore goblins as the week goes on. I have that many again painted, along with wolf riders, trolls, orges, giants, and a stone thrower (I have paitned the crew to the other stonethrowers and leadblecher, but not the machines yet!)
      It ia all part of my long term re-painting project to give the goblins a painting that they deserve.
