Moonstone…finally

Doug and his pug. I went with a pretty uniform green hued color scheme for all of the goblin skin. Did my usual of painting up the skin on the whole faction which is why I’ve been silent for a good bit. Well, that and life interfering with hobbying as it is wont to do from time to time.

The pug here was fun to paint and I tried out a more weathered wood effect for his lance.

Two more goblins down. Five to go.

Vicious midget (left) was a pretty rough casting as you can see. Not sure what the story is with the hand strapped to his waist but maybe I just haven’t read deeply into the fluff.

Beaky Bobby was a nice clean cast and is probably my favorite of the goblins.

Overall, some fun sculpts.

And yes, that is his actual name.

I suspect he was supposed to come with a pipe sticking out of his mouth. It’s in the art for him in the rule book and there was a little stub on the right side of his mouth. Not sure if it broke off before shipping, during shipping, or wether I did the deed myself during assembly or while he was kicking around on my paint table. In the end, I think he looks fine without it and I just trimmed off the stub and made it part of his beard.

Going for a bit a a washed out, desaturated look for all the goblins, with little accents of color. In the lore, they seem to be almost feral, living out in the wilderness so I figured a bit of a faded look (along with their green hued skin) would help set them apart from the gnomes.

Stu was fun–though I might have called him Sleepy instead of Seasick.

I like Grub a lot. At first glance I thought him dull but after painting him up he’s both creepy and a bit charming.

Nearly finished with my Moonstone backlog. Still not quite sure if Shabaroom is just wearing the mushrooms or if they’re growing out of his back but he’s impressive(Loy insane) either way.

…and this concludes my Moonstone backlog. Overall they were really neat sculpts and most were good castings. I will say that resin is not my favorite material. The detail is exceptional but…well I’m sure you all know the downsides.

So good on you Goblin King Games! Nice product. Now to get these to the table though that’ll have to wait a good long while.
