So, as mentioned before, i've started painting my minis again. I have one unit that is painted from before, two years ago i think.

I call these my "Night Smurfs". They are just night goblins, but i painted their skin blue instead of green just to be different. I was inspired by the realization that, being nasty little critters, with funny caps and a mushroom obsession, night goblins are basically just evil oversized smurfs. You may be able to tell that i put a bit more effort into the fanatics (the crazy guys with the huge flails) than the regular archers. This is because there are three of the one, and thirty of the other. I've got a standard, champion and musician i'm going to add to the unit, but other than that all the rest of my goblins will be normal green ones.

Currently, I'm trying to plow througha unit of old spearmen:

i'm not worried about making these guys very fancy looking. not only are they over a decade old, many of them have had the top half of their spears reattached, on account of when I put them together 12 years ago, and had them laid out on the floor, i fell backwards on top of them. Those things are pointy. A couple of them have shields glued to them already, which makes painting them annoying, and one poor bastard is just going to keep his terrible, patchy Testors enamel paint job. Serves him right. A few of these grots who have lost the top of their spears entirely, I am going to attempt some conversions on, to make a unit command. The most difficult will be making a musician.

At this point, i've gotten all of the bases green, and started working on the spears. I'm going to start doing tunics next, and i'm dabbling with the shields.

Once i get this unit done, my next project is a box of Wolfriders.
