Not content with working on my Retro Chaos Warrior warband, I’ve been putting together a goblin archers warband too.
Greenskins were my first love. It goes back to the first hobby related product I ever picked up – a deck of ‘Goblinoids’ Citadel Combat Cards in the very early 90s.
As someone who’s spilt a lot of green paint on a lot of different carpets, I decided to push my luck and tempt the fates by picking up these little guys. They’re from the excellent Knightmare Miniatures’ Green Skin Wars range.
I’m not sure if they were sculpted by Kev ‘Goblin King’ Adams, who I know does a fair bit of work for them. But they certainly have a classic Oldhammer aesthetic.
They were a lot of fun to paint. Nothing too complicated, but each model had enough variety and unique character to keep things interesting.
I’ve housed them in a movement tray from Warbases. I find these ones work really well for little warbands of archers.
So now it’s back to finishing the second half of my Chaos Warrior warband, and once they’re done, I have a herd of Beastmen who’re raring to get some paint splashed on them.
If you like these miniatures, you can pick them up from Knightmare. No affiliation here, I’m just a big fan, and regular customer. I also have a roundup of Oldhammer-style miniature companies, too, if you’re interested in that type of thing!
