Pre-slotta Citadel Goblins - Post 4 

Night Goblins

First Compendium C13 Night Goblins 1983

and

C27 Goblin Fanatics (Set of 7) 1984 

- Click on the pics to enlarge -

When I started this set I mounted them in recessed 25mm round bases, the same most of my pre slotta figs not destined to line up on a battlefield, thinking they would not number enough to make up a unit for play.

Then TOW came out with its bigger base size and I thought - Ok I can can set them up as a unit with a custom tray and include the fanatics. 

I had started painted them in typical warm green tones (go back a couple of posts to see). But I decided these should be special and distinctive. I went with a much colder, jewel tone, black light, dark cave color scheme with glowing mushrooms in very light blue green that seems difficult to photograph. 

The mushrooms are 3d prints from Epic Basing

Since releasing fanatics doesn't reduce the unit size I needed some fillers for the goblins careening across the battlefield - more mushrooms painted larger. As a testament to my slowness I understand the recent TOW addenda nerfed the number of fanatics before I could get them to a game and I now only need two fillers.

Anyway, please pay attention and be distracted by this crazy unit of night goblins and its amazing potential to cause havoc (while I line up the perfect charge for my 12 wolf chariots).

The miniatures are all pretty much as they came (apart from the bases and basing) except that one of the C27 fanatics had a boomerang. I decided this didn't fit my theme and sculpted it into a moon with green stuff.

That's 52 Pre-slotta Citadel goblins painted so far and about 30 based and started, but I'll be taking a break from goblins to keep that fresh.  Also on my paint table at the moment - more monsters mostly old ones, NPCS of various vintages and scales, gaming plastics old and new and a project I'm calling Mordheim the Restoration - taking my battle worn Mordheim  buildings and giving them some love.
