    Very nice on both accounts. The purple and blue you have selected compliment each other very well. That's a couple of great looking models!

    Yeah, I've been watching you get better and better since you first started posting pics of your work, and I have to say, I'm impressed! They look amazing, especially the bases!

    So I furred up 100 gobbo's last Friday night with a few beers and I wanted a fast way to paint them, to look good but with a easy paint style so here we have the first one of my Wizard of Oz look gobbo's.

    He took 10 minutes to paint,

    That's a cool and effective method! Will they all have the same fur?

    More or less yes they will all have the same fur, mostly the night goblins.

    When I saw them on ebay I thought they just matched the gobbos perfectly, you get it posted @borkbork ;)

    I could do a step by step guide if you need it as well, will post an army shot for you as even though they are not painted they still look great.

    I really your painting style of strong base colours and couple layers of striking highlights, I have always loved miniatures painted that way. I should try to move that direction myself, too, but I'm stubborn about learning softer and smoother blending first. Now I'm not saying you are not able to blend like that, what I mean is that similar style of what you use could play to my strengths.

    Lol, he looks great! And a fast way to get 100 of these guys painted up, to boot! I suppose they could double as Forrest Goblins! :D

    Cheers, I can blend the softer colour tones but it just takes me too long, I like a strong contrast too and love painting that way :)
