The Goblobber

The Goblobber is a gift from my old friend Haekel and it will be the last addition to my rank & file troops. I've just discovered in the Warhammer Armies book that I needed 25 additional points to buy sufficient goblin ammunitions and convert an ordinary stone-thrower into this splendid war machine, which makes the lot 85 points worth, which means I'm closer than expected to my 2000 pts objective. Good news :)

And without the crew:

Spotter and Commander

Fourth and fifth members of the goblobber crew, here are the spotter and the commander.

The gob loaders

One month without post, but for a good reason: I was trying to complete my last war engine, the gob lobber. Let's start with the loaders. Again, I'm not totally happy with the painting job, I really need to end this army, to renew my motivation (and possibly change my colours).

My favorite one:


And the two other guys:

Le Chevalier à la Licorne

Just a short post to recommend an excellent comic book, "Le Chevalier à la Licorne", published by Soleil. The illustrations are absolutely fantastic, and a great source of inspiration for us, fantasy miniature painters. Below the cover and the first pages.

By the way, the story is quite good too! A short summary by the editor:

1346, the Battle of Crécy. Juan de la Heredia, a Knight Hospitaller, offers his horse to the King of France who is in a bad position. Surrounded by the English,

 he takes off his armour in a fit of ardour, freeing his movements and his anger. The rage to kill keeps him alive, but Juan is now its prisoner. He starts pursuing a unicorn, as one would follow a dream...

 

 

332 points of Dwarf Warriors

I've started this unit in December 2012... Needless to say that it's a big relief to post the final pictures of this band :)

 

Now back to work...

Borax Bloodaxe

Last but not least, one of the Dwarf Lords of Legend: Borax Bloodaxe.


Next time, the completed regiment :)

Another duo of Dwarf warriors

The drunkard is not exactly an OOP model, but this 90's exception is compensated by a really old miniature: Gimli, teleported right from the Middle-Earth down to the Old World.


Not exactly my best paint job, I think I'm eager to finish now...

Dwarf warriors again

Dwarf Warriors again, this time with double handed axes and, sometimes, shields. Here are #20 and #21.
