AcasualDream: nice conversion, all the different pieces work surprisingly well together. The headless corpse and the arrow in his back are a nice compliment, very effective.

Blackdeath: incredible character, I absolutely love it, the fur pelt, the skull, his belly, everything...superb.

Grungehog: too blurry I'm afraid, but looks very promising.

sadly my camera hates greenstuff, so I think i'll only be able to show what's really going on when he's painted

Right, photos and an apology... Apologies because I only just now saw that the proof photos needed the screen in the background, and so only have this:

But I offer you this as a concession:

The ebay listings from which these were made, bought on the 6th of this month. Sorry it's not more- I skipped over the first post :S

But without further ado, here are my very functional, not particularly flashy, goblin conversions. Regular goblins into Gundabad Blackshields:

And making use of the poor little shield-less helmet-less dudes: Makeshift archers:

nicely done but too small imo to be gundabads. The metal/ FC versions are bigger than your standard goblins. The cloaks do look good though.

splendiferous work!
I've recently been converting some goboes too as it happens...

Yeah, people say that, but these little guys are the same size as the Gundabad Command unit I have in finecast. The captain stands as tall as the crouching ones and shorter than the standing.

Cool conversions River Zora! The fur looks great!
Funny, I've made the exact same conversion to the bowman from the leftovers (I guess it's a very logical conversion). I use him as a Prowler.

Telchar · **Posted:** Thu Jan 24, 2013 6:34 pm

Great blackshields!

samoht · **Posted:** Thu Jan 24, 2013 11:34 pm

Those Gundabad blackshield conversions are great! Don't worry about their size man, they look fine.

River Zora · **Joined:** Mon Dec 10, 2012 7:57 pm **Posts:** 224

Right, because the blackshields, as useful as ther are, were a bit of a dull conversion... sculpting fur isn't exactly the most imaginative of things... I decided to try something else- using these bits:

Making a goblin Shaman!

Also, I know it's not exactly gobliny, so is entirely irrelevant to the competition... but this is what I was converting when I decided to start another goblin (needs stuffing still).

Telchar · **Posted:** Sun Jan 27, 2013 9:35 am

So, what will you be entering to the challenge, the blackshields or the shaman?

River Zora · **Joined:** Mon Dec 10, 2012 7:57 pm **Posts:** 224

Ooh, is it a choice?... I dunno! The Shaman's more interesting... Can't I enter the warband?

I'll have a think.
