Thanks Dead Marsh Spectre.

I've had a quick play about with the kit yesterday and I learnt a few things.

Firstly, the weapon holding hands look like they'll be a pain to pin using my normal 1mm bit as many of them thin to less than 1mm in places.

Secondly, the head size is a good bit smaller than the plastic goblins. This may not be an issue for most people, but as I was toying with some head swaps, it may be an issue.

Finally, the weapons are pretty flimsy, especially the stupid bone picks. I don't get why someone wearing armour goes into battle with the remains of two chicken drumsticks tied to a stick. I'm considering replacing most of the FW weapons with plastic alternatives, like this guy:



C&C welcome.

Got a few more Mercenaries built. Nothing too complicated for these guys, just a couple of weapon swaps and used boiling water to slightly bend the feet of the stepping goblin.





You may note I've used Moria goblin swords on a few of the models as I wanted to emphasise the shared lineage of the two goblin armies.

C&C welcome.

Hi all,

Sorry I've not been updating this log recently.

I have made the decision to put this project on hold. I'd found having such a big deadline (a fully painted, based, converted warband per week for two months) was having a big impact on my enjoyment of the hobby.

It was becoming a stressful chore that I was resenting rather than a way to have fun and unwind. It was also making me feel guilty when I was doing other hobby projects.

This means I'll probably not make it along to the event in September, but I can live with that.

Hopefully, without a stressful deadline, I'll come back to this project some day.

Thank you to all who viewed this log and especially to those who commented.

Until next time.

Dallo
