ANZACS and the return of 'Them', ( & Cthulu Kong, Goldylocks etc!))

The ‘Heroes’s of the various bits of this project , are reasonably catered for  and apart from 15 Orks and a couple of big monsters the bad guys were looking a bit thin on the ground.

So I spent 2 weeks hobby rectifying the situation, painting up various Goblins and Orks, mainly from Oathmark range, but also some more feral Wargames Atlantic.

All were painted with a mixture of Contrast and Spoed paints.

Skin was done as before with Speedpaints Forest Sprite ( I’ve emptied 3 bottles so far) . I varied their clothing shades , as I did them in batchs of 5 figures varying the palette of paints slightly each time to vary a bit what I thought would be dull dyes used on clothing.

Those who have been following this project may have noticed that I have added to the large Monsters to the army, mainly as a counter to some if the modern armour. These were provided from  Dungeons and Dragons range which my local hobby shop Waylands Forge has a great selection.

First up is the tree thing..( no idea what it is so use the Ben naming convention.

The fogure was done as a base colour using GW Contrasts Wyldwood,  which I toned down with a white dry brush. The teeth I felt would be a newer wood look so I went for GW contrast Skelton Horde, with the toadstools being done in Speedpaints Peachy flesh.

The Fire Giant needed to be much brighter.

This figure was done quickly to get it ready for table use, so didn’t spend as much time on face and hands as would have wanted, though I think the fire effect on armour worked OK.

This was a base of one if the Speedpaints Yellow, with thr troughs done on Speedpaints Bright Red.I tried to give it a sparkling effect by dry brushing Gloos varnish after the initial Matt varnish.

I now have the beginning of an Orc/Goblin so wait for next rabbit hole as it means I need some fantasy opposition!
